Review: Interesting Title - I'm ambivalent

I guess the title is reflective of Tessa's feelings about Cord, but to me at least, it's not reflective of the content of the book. I feel like I may have missed something. Maybe I'm just over thinking.Despite the fact that Tessa was able to hang on to her anger at Cord for THIRTEEN years, which was irritating, this was still a an interesting read.  It left me feeling unsettled, like I was searching for something that I never found.Cord seemed to be a nice guy. I didn't understand his aunt's attitude about him and women. There was never any indication that he was a love 'em and leave 'em type. It didn't make sense why Mary was so harsh with him, or why she warned Tessa away from him. He wasn't dishonest or disingenuous.The other people in the book took such a major backseat to the story, I wonder if they were even necessary.What Cord really saw in Tessa was anyone's guess. I didn't find her to be likable. She changed attitudes and feelings towards Cole more frequently than people change underwear.I would recommend it. I can truthfully say that I had no difficulty finishing this book. I didn't dislike it. Maybe the word I'm searching for is ambivalent.  You may see something in it that I didn't.
