Such simpering assholes. It's been a week and they're saying they love each other, she's threatened to kill herself if he doesn't turn her, and he doesn't want to be with her because it's for her own good. Ugh.

There is not a single shred of originality in this book. It's overflowing with angsty butthurt and weepy, overly-emotive instalove, and any tension is contrived at best. Ugh.

It doesn't matter if the protagonist is self-aware of the shitty decisions she's made in life when she continues to make shitty decisions. The two have known each other for less than a week and can't live without each other. For a woman who knows she's never stood on her own two feet I her life, she readily falls back into that same pattern. I don't know whether I should pity her or want to slap her.

This is literally Twilight with adult characters.
