BookLender review by Birgitta on 2010-08-21 22:33:02

I really enjoyed this book. The opening is amazing. I love Mark. He's so real and vulgar and honest. Passion horrible name is lonely and she just gives her all to this affair.I just enjoyed they way they fell in love. It seemed so real. It really does all start with the sex. I thought that it could get boring and repetitive but for the most part it was fun and dirty. Yummy.The end is dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Too bad. So lame. And Mark spewing all the love junk seems so out of character. Even a super softy would not tell her how he will write to her making up the life they can never have. PUKE.I'm so lamed out by the ending I just don't know if I'd really give it to any of my friends. I read a lot but if you don't read much the end of this book makes the story less... just less.
