I loved this novel of the powerful effect some people in our lives have on us and the fact that that power is not diminshed by seeing all of who they are with their flaws and faults. Some people are not meant to be our lovers, but they touch us in ways that go beyond the logical.

this was a pretty good book. Didn't end the way I had expected, but I didn't really know how stark would end it anyway. book was overall an interesting read and could not have ended any other way.
