This book is absolutely horrible. The first couple of chapters were okay---but as I went on reading, it only got worse. Justine is probably the most self-centered, unlikable character I've ever read, it made me wonder what on earth Barry saw in her to begin with, even though he wasn't any better at times.Valerie Brock wrote a book about two shallow characters that fall in love under the most ridiculous circumstances I could read. I agree with most of the reviewers here, this book is painful, I couldn't finish it, after about four chapters left to read, I just didn't bother anymore and judging by the reviewers, I'm glad I didn't waste any more time although I did waste my money on this sorry excuse for a book.
