I just read 450 pages and I still have no idea who these characters are. Here's a brief summary and it's pretty much all that happens in this book: Girl meets attractive boy, they hold up in an apartment where they have sex and cook for approximately 20 days. They both have mood swings galore, which translates to Isaac having temper tantrums and punching things and Maya crying all the time.It's apparent that these characters both have tragic childhood's and I kept waiting for the stories/secrets to come out but that never happens. Yes, 450 pages and that never comes up and any time the conversation went that direction, the appropriate character would say "I can't talk about it." Fantastic, I'm glad you can't tell the person you're in love with since 'the time you laid eyes on her' what hurts/scars you.Luke, Maya's kind of boyfriend, is mentioned but never makes an appearance so who knows what happens with that storyline. Yes, I know there is a second book, but why would I buy that when nothing intrigued me? I don't care what happens to these characters. I don't even KNOW who these people are or what they're fighting for/against.A final note: I'm an avid reader and usually finish a book within 1-2 days. It took me 6 days to get through this and if not for my compulsion to finish any book I start, I wouldn't have.
