Loving NateThis book has ripped me to shreds emotionally...that's the first thing I have to say.I say this because I have been Leah for most of my adult life. That's why I am so hung up on the conviction that baby girls need their daddies. Good men who will instill in their girls a sense of self worth that will not fail them to life's shysters as happened to Leah. And myself on more than one occasion.I think that's why I took forever to finish this little novella. I kept wanting to slap Leah and thereby convicting myself and you know the whole thing about taking the log out of your own eye first.The endings, both of them are heartbreaking to me...Ms Ross just doesn't let up or give us a break. She dishes it out just as life does and you choose to either make lemonade out of the sorry mess as done in ending 1 or disintegrate into something you don't even recognize or want to know as in ending 2.I have read a number of reviews that said you choose which ending you like, but I don't think it is even a matter of choosing really more than it is representing the characters of both types of women who fall prey to these men.Some women are able to rip themselves away and sort to start anew even if it might mean settling for something less ...fiery and passionate.Others remain addicted to the scoundrel and his mess and become victims who never make it outSo I think what the author does it offer the reader who may be in this situation a realistic glimpse of the likely result of choosing either way, and an opportunity for self reflection.By the way, her writing is superb, but dwelling on why I say this will make this review twice as long and this book already holds the record for the longest review I've done for a novella.I hope you will grab a copy and enjoy it.Book source: provided for free by the author in exchange of an honest review.
