I, not unlike others, bought this because of loving the Edge books SO much. Well, just to say, this is nothing like what I thought it would be. The characters are involved in a virtual train wreck of a situation. No one uses any type of logic or rational thinking process. Bray isn't the only one making seriously flawed decisions.  The two main characters are way past being codependent. It just blows my mind that this is how the story goes. Just wasn't expecting it. Bray' s bipolar  diagnosis was never properly handled by her parents and they should be smacked for it. I would like to know when she was first diagnosed. I mean what kind of parents don't make sure their kids follow through with treatment? I just think it could have been prevented.The best part of this book, is showing how Elias never gave up on her. He made sure she got the right help she needed, and saw to making it a priority. He showed that she was worth caring for and loving, no matter her issues. That's what loving someone really is. Unconditional love is hard to come by. It is supposed to start with your parents, but like in this story, that's not always how it happens.I have three stars, because it just isn't a good , enjoyable book. It was interest ing, and thought provoking, just not what I would choose to read again. It was very well written, with a good group of well fleshed out characters. Redmerski is still a great author, and I will continue to check out her next works.
