Review: A very emotional read, I've never read about a man like this one.

I was amazed at how eloquently beautiful this story was, even though it is all sad. I think that was in most part because of the way Bailey was portrayed, she was no victim, however, in asking for forgiveness from Darren she put herself into a place of emotional torture that Darren seemed almost satisfied to deliver. I did not always get the rationale for his behaviour, but then the subject matter was so sad and deals with death which is so very personal. As I continued to read he impressed me as possibly the worst emotional-scab-picker I have ever read about. At times I thought he seemed to writhe pleasurably in his own misery. Then seeing Bailey present herself in front of him, wanted to share this with her. It made me cry many times when all it seems he was doing was being cruel, but the truth is that there are many people who cope like this. Although it is sad, I was also glad to read that just as unbearable as it was for him to see her, it was as bad not to. That was where the beauty of this story lay for me.A very well written sad love story and above all an intensely believable one, their story made me believe in their sweet love and I can picture that love could survive anything for these two people. Simply beautiful.
