So I read some of the more negative reviews, and almost didn't download. But I love the damaged series so decided to give it a chance.  First I want to tell you what those reviewers missed.  In one of the chapters that was Mia's.  She indicates that she understands what is going on on an adult but due to the brain damage she sustained, she was unable to articulate what she was thinking.  I found her to be very perceptive to Why Gator moods changed so much, and a child wouldn't be on that level.  The doll was mentioned in great detail at first, but only here and there thought the book.  Mia explained the reason for the doll.  She knew her baby had died.  She knew that the doll was a doll, but it made her feel better.  By the end of the book her dependence on the doll was gone because Gator had saved her.  He was her hero.  He treated her better than anyone had ever treated her.  I think, most importantly that he slayed her demons and that made her love him more.  She knew her own mind, once she was given the chance to make her own decisions.  Her childlike demeanor lessened the more than their relationship developed.  She understood him.  Yes it was a plot that was somewhat uncomfortable in the beginning, but because of the fact that you could see her growth as the book goes o , you see that she acted that way because she had no reason to change because it wouldn't change the hell that was her life.  When she was given the opportunity to make her own decisions, she blossomed.  I decided that she was a little slow, but her childlike demeanor lessened a lot.  As for Gator's possessive "You're Mine" comments, when Mia changed her name from Gidget to Mia, she chose it because the meaning of Mia is "mine" and she wanted Gator to always remember that when he said her name.  She wanted nothing more than to be his.  The book kept my attention and I found myself cheering them on the closer they got.
