12 people actually wrote something about it, too.
And 11 of those people like it. Which is nice. My mother always told me to focus on the positive*.

"It is bad. No sugar-coating.
I will start with an overarching rant, so if you want to read only about this book, skip to the last paragraphs of this review: This book will be forever remembered (by me at least) as the one that did it: it made me stop " Read more of this review » |

"Time of death: 61%

“Why can't you say it?" I hardened my voice. "Because I'm telling you, you never have. I'd have remembered."
He stared at me with disbelief. [...]
"Love you? Of course I love you. Baby, I fucking worship you.”

“I thought of the words of the Renaissance philosopher Michel de Montaigne. "If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.”

“And yet there was something about his strength, his arrogance, his sheer size that got under my skin. He probably couldn't even spell vanilla. He was probably selfish in the sack. Probably selfish and greedy and...unsophisticated. And hung like a horse.”

“He kisses—how do I explain it? Like someone in love. Like he has nothing to lose. Like someone who has just learned a foreign language and can use only the present tense and only the second person.
