This book just wasn't for me. I did not really connect well with the characters and just couldn't get beyond some of the behavior. Nolan hardly seemed like a charmer or even boyfriend material. He seemed desperate and co-dependent and I just couldn't understand how he was a step up from the cheating bum, Bryson, she already had, since this one had a whole other world of problems.But Natalie chooses to overlook his shortcomings and press on. Now, while I admired Nolan's honesty when it came to inability to be "faithful" and his desire to want to be a better man, knowing that his mother was ill and he was going to be leaving her, she actually did not seem all that affected.Now, while I feel that if someone truly wants something bad enough, that is often times reason enough to change and try to be a better person; but they have to be the ones to want it or initiate the change. Nolan did seem to want that, but I found it hard to figure out if she actually looked at Nolan as a REAL relationship or just an experiment for both of them.Not a winner for me.
