I am speechless.. and so sad how their relationship ended.. I felt so.. connected to her, I had something similar on my past relationship as well.. Didn't get married to my ex, but we did live together until he was unfaithful and.. I wanted to end my life as well, and we ended the relation ship when I moved out to my families home.. We were in love in the beginning, but then after the years.. Everything changed.. He later on wanted to come back to me, but, the hurt.. was still there after 10 years being together, with off's and on's was not healthy.. I'm finally married, and him out of my life. But it still bother's me that.. even though I was so loyal to him that I was not enough.. Now I know that I am without him, very controlling and narcissist he was both my ex and Frank were.. I guess when they meet the real woman for them, is when they change for the better.. :( I hate it that had to be that way..

I found this book really engaging, and I could probably relate to their relationship in some ways. It perfectly captures how dysfunctional relationships can push you to the edge, bringing out the worst in you, and how, when it all ends, you feel the need to reclaim yourself. These two simply weren’t right for each other—no matter how much they tried, it was never going to work. It’s a difficult concept to portray, but it was done so well. Really, well done! It definitely makes me want to read Blue Sister!

It is not a riveting book to read. The last chapter was the best and wish the entire book would have been like it!
