I honestly did not know what to expect when I downloaded this book.  The cover was bizarre (and really too lighthearted for the content of the book) and I always thought cutters were people who cut themselves.  What it turned out to be was an amazingly well written story that reminded me a lot ofBeautiful Disasterby Jamie McGuire.Libby is a Cutter - a native of the area - in college hoping to get into Harvard Law school after graduation.  She has not had an easy life and is hoping to make something of herself.  She catches the eye of the star baseball player Aiden, and spends a year fending him off and becoming his best friend.  Aiden is intrigued by Libby, but arrogantly never sees more to her than her being a Cutter and a temporary conquest to be had.  Libby knows this and is capable of protecting herself from Aiden's charms, much to his aggravation.  But then, one night he saves her from some frat boys and Libby's determination is not as solid as it once was.This story is told in alternating points of view giving the reader an honest look into each of the characters motivations, character and history.  This gives the reader a strong desire for both Aiden and Libby's happiness and to know what happens with them.  This is a short introduction to Marx's full length bookBinding Arbitration, A Chick Lit/Contemporary Romance Novelwhich I will be purchasing immediately.There is a gritty reality to this story that is compelling and addictive.  There is profanity and sexual situation and conversation which are really the angst of the story.  Highly recommended to readers who liked Beautiful Disaster and its raw emotionalism.Would I/Did I buy it? Free DownloadWould I read it again? YesWould I recommend it to friends? Yes.
