This book evokes to many emotions throughout the story. In the beginning I wanted Corrado's mom to choke on a wine bottle and die... slowly. She was a freaking monster. Then I was so happy that Corrado and Celia reconnected and fell in love (although they could've had more sexy time... really). Then I hated how the 'family' used Corrado all the time for any errand they needed done, therefore pulling him away from Celia and feeding the 'monster' he swore he had inside him. He had such a crazy, messed up life and I felt so sorry for him and wished his father would've protected him more from his demon egg donor of a mom. Celia was just the kind of girl Corrado needed, who had some spunk and forgave him for a lot of his shortcomings. I guess I'll understand the backstory going into Sempre now.
