Because in amidst all of the drama, there was also some fun bantering and some REALLY gorgeously swoony moments. There were tears from Eva, tears from Gideon (which absolutely killed me!), and many, many tears from me – both happy and sad tears. So, yes, Gideon and Eva go through a lot of drama in this book, and some of it is really hard to read as they both hit rock bottom and fight hard to get through some major hurdles. God, even now that one word gives me shivers. But with one word from him, I knew it would all be ok. And I was pleasantly surprised to see Eva stand up and call him on acting like such a jerk. Although my mind was reeling the whole time I was reading, trying to come up with the reasons behind his actions. Gideon also had me shaking my head at times, but after some encouragement from my GR buddies, and having made my resolution to just go with it, I trusted that he was doing what he thought was the right thing for him and Eva. Because if I hadn’t been able to work through my feelings on this, and therefore been able to tolerate all of the crap that continued to fly, I probably would have really disliked the rest of it as well. I’m thinking that this is why a lot of people don’t like this book. As Gideon says – “We’ve hit our own rhythm and it works for us”, so who am I to judge? Their relationship is one of the most intense I’ve ever read, they have an absolute need for and addiction to each other, and with them both trying to overcome the traumas in their past and find a way forward, they don’t react to situations in the same way that we might, but they do what they have to do to move on. And because they’re both so broken, they play by different rules.

They have both suffered terrible childhood traumas that they are still struggling to overcome, and the damage done to them is manifested in their behaviour as adults.

Yes, this book has intense drama, and yes, they both had some intense moments of stupid, but the bottom line is this – they are both completely fucked up.

FUUUUUCK!!! I’m not condoning Eva’s actions in any way, because she was absolutely wrong for what she did, but after hours of hot debate, I felt like I was able to sort of understand her actions and managed to calm myself down and move forward without seething with resentment. I am talking, of course, about Eva kissing her ex-boyfriend (ish) Brett.
