Review: Was I blind?
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 09 5, 2012
I have just read some of the other reviews for this novel and concede maybe I missed something.  I found it fascinating with two very fascinating characters, and certainly I feel it is important to understand how the past affects our lives but the plot is thin.  Poppet is a good writer so there is some glue keeping this together but I found it hard to connect with her characters, and not because of the subject matter.  Cutting, unprotected sex is part of the self destruction process and I feel for people who hurt so much they need to hurt even more, and to be perfectly honest I feel we can all relate to this in some way.  However the main protagonists do not get sympathy from me, I don't find them likeable enough, and I don't like that she has the affair and then the very neat ending so for me the best I can do is a 3 star rating.
