At first I thought this book would be good, but Nathan had no sense of tenderness. He was so mean, and I just couldn't believe Ariel had fallen in love with that prick. So judgmental, so selfish, brutal, rude, and utterly unromantic. I agree with the reviewer who said that the gruesome, heart-wrenching scene with Wess should have been omitted from the story. Ariel was a bit stupid and a bit annoying. I couldn't love either one of them.
