I'm kind of disappointed with this because I thought it was going to be better than it was. The formatting of this was somewhat strange. By started at the end, we see the worst of the relationship and work backwards towards seeing the best of it from the beginning. It's interesting, but it just didn't really work for me because there were too many moments where I though "Why doesn't Ann just walk away?" 
 Because it started at the end, I couldn't see the good parts in Connor that Ann initially saw, so I really couldn't sympathize with either character. I couldn't understand why Connor was the way he was, and I couldn't understand what it was about him that allowed Ann to condone so much of it. I think maybe if I would have read this book backwards, I could have enjoyed it more. But I read it the way it was written and intended to be read, and like I said above, it just didn't really work for me.
