Mixed feelings about this one
This book was a very quick read as I was a abbot to finish it in one sitting. It's filled with drama, and keeps you wanting to know the other person's point of view. I like how the book is divided into character perspectives instead of chapters because of that.
Now for what I didn't like... There were typos, some I could easily overlook, others I had to determine what was really supposed to be written. To me this wasn't a big deal. My real disappointments with the stem from the fact that it was written in the first-person using very urban vernacular. The always simple sentences made me feel like I was reading a 3rd grade level book. I also didn't like how it seemed every other word was a cuss or other derogatory word.
IMO this is definitely a book for adults. The story is realistic and brings awareness to issues such as domestic abuse, the need for safe sex, and effects of cheating. However, if I had kids I wouldn't be comfortable with them reading this one. I'm not sure if I'll be reading the sequel because of my mixed emotions about the author's writing style
