There's no way you can ignore the unhealthiness of Abby and Travis's relationship but there was something about this book that I just loved.

I just don't like it."</em><br /><br />Ooooh, Erin, I couldn't finish this book, but THIS. I mean... I don't get the vibe that there's a healthy outcome to all their drama, but they get a happily ever after, anyway? It doesn't sit right with me :S<br /><br />Glad you liked it, anyway! ♥Sarah (saz101)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08936602748682093150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903769470113429795.post-64768106459407247372012-10-02T21:57:38.054+10:002012-10-02T21:57:38.054+10:00I REALLY think I'm going to feel similarly abo...I REALLY think I'm going to feel similarly about the unhealthy relationship. To be honest, that's what's primarily been putting me off reading it. I mean, I've read a share of unhealthy relationships, but I see this commented on in every review and it just doesn't sound like something I will enjoy. <br /><br />Yet at the same time, EVERYONE touches on how addictive it is. Part of me wants to take this journey just to see for myself. To see what makes it so compelling. The kind of books you half hate, half love, are often the most fascinating. Agh. Damn you all making me SO damn curious!!

I know that I have read some positive ones but the negative stick out more clearly in my mind, maybe because they had quotes to back it up or maybe just because I was really, really disturbed. The things about Travis and the relationship between him and Abby I've been reading honestly just make me feel uncomfortable... I don't know if I'm quite ready to read such an explosive, unhealthy relationship.<br /><br />That said, I'm glad you somewhat enjoyed this one! :) It definitely sounds INTERESTING and like a cool character study if nothing else, haha.

The relationship between Abby and Travis is <i>very</i> unhealthy. Travis is a lose cannon with a temper and the way he acted was just...ARGH. I didn't feel much toward Abby but in the end she just got annoying. Eh, watch out for my review, it's going to be hectic. I have SO many things I had problems with and I'm looking forward to sharing them. Ha, I might even get crazy and use a GIF. <i>That's</i> how I feel towards this book. Like I could let lose and just explain my feeling through GIF's. I don't mean that in a good way either...<br /><br /><i>It doesn't matter whether he's a hottie rebel, a good-looking guy, a real charmer or even a boy who seems to watch over your every step and trying to do what's 'best for you' . . . it's just not what girls should aspire to have . . . it's wrong.</i> YES. YES. YES. Exactly my thoughts!<br /><br />Great review, Erin! :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18234560405122776663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903769470113429795.post-90401027742338531002012-10-01T19:46:50.843+10:002012-10-01T19:46:50.843+10:00Great review, Erin.

He never beat her - just everyone else. So at least he had his priorities sorta set right in some ways. he was possesive, but I think deep down she had him in control. but overall - I really enjoyed this story. As dynsfunctional as it may have all seemed when it come down to it , I just figured its another one of those stories You know lol. Its all make believe but deep dwon we know there are men out there whom are like it.. but I read this in one sitting and really enjoyed it.. IT ws so much better than FSOG ... *FIFTY** <br /><br />kat Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452323442311051556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903769470113429795.post-26047394932784499772012-10-01T08:08:53.493+10:002012-10-01T08:08:53.493+10:00I've heard a lot of different things regarding...I've heard a lot of different things regarding this book, but I think I will be giving it a try since I've seen enough positive to make it seem worthwhile.
