I was expecting great things from this book, but I think my expectations let me down more than the actual book did. I thought it was going to be an in depth study of an abusive relationship and it turned out to be completely different. Because I was so excited for that, I think when I realized what this actually was, I was disappointed. Still a good book to read and an interesting take on a very different relationship, but I can't say I was as in love with it as I wanted to be.
