Yet another book about a weak woman suffering because she's chosen to have a relationship with a selfish bastard.Lately I've encounteredso many books about this subject:you choose a selfish bastard, and he acts like a selfish bastard. Big surprise.Past abuse is not an excuse to be a jerk and make choices to hurt others.I decided to read this book because it was supposed to involve cutting. I was disappointed and had to make myself finish it.I did not appreciate the way cutting was utilized to attempt to humanize Andre. I have experience with a cutter and have read extensively on the subject to attempt to help my young cutter. Cutting is an attempt at control and is also a release. Cutters privately hurt themselves. They would NEVER cut and then come to a loved one dripping blood. That is just the behavior of a selfish manipulating bastard.Cutting should not be entwined with other personality flaws like immaturity,poor impulse control, lack of respect and empathy, and willingness to break promises, that infidelity entails. Hyper-sexuality is a common factor in many mental illnesses and can be used as an excuse for infidelity, but cutting is not an excuse.I gave this book one star because I'm tired of reading books where women choose to be mistreated and then ask for more. Nothing really changes but their attitudes. Is this really what we want to teach our daughters?
