This book stirred up so many emotions in me. I am not a fan of books that are written in the first person.  I always find them one sided.  And in this case it was.  We always knew what Delilah was thinking but not really James.  And she really was a trying character.  It was difficult to really like her. I can honestly see why other readers gave up reading.  She was really a brat.  I also found James to be a bit naive when his parents and his business were concerned.  I would have liked to see him take up for Delilah regarding his mother.  And understand his mother had a problem and stop making Delilah go to those family functions. Ii was like he was completely oblivious.  He loved her and that was all that mattered.  Which made the end all the more upsetting.I could relate to the interracial aspect but I have to say I never experienced even half of the incidents this couple had.  I mean it was constant.  I don't want to say it was over the top but in this day and age it is hardly as taboo as it was in this book.  Maybe I am just accustomed to it.  I even considered the book was possibly set in a different era.  Like the 1980's.About half of the book I rolled my eyes at the immaturity of Delilah and then when the incident of all incidents occured she completely won me over.  And I really liked how the end gave the readers closure.  I am so use to the cookie cutter HEA endings so it was refreshing to see an author think outside the box.  Even though I was sad, it made me want to write a review, which I have to say lately the books I have read have not moved me enough to write anything.
