If the aim of a story is to make the reader feel, then I would have to consider this story a success. However, if success is measured in how well one likes the main characters, then no, this story didn't succeed with me.

I found the heroine to be unbearably selfish and unwilling to accept that she was a shit to her high school boyfriend. Every other character in the story touched me in a positive way. Even the old boyfriend grew as a person, but at the end of the story, IMO, Daisy hasn't grown at all and is still getting her way on everything.

I normally really like Rachel Gibson's books, and I read this all the way to the end, hoping she would find a way to redeem the heroine in my eyes, but it just didn't happen. By then, I just wanted to see what she'd done cost her half as badly as it cost Jack. I guess if I can't have redemption, I'll take revenge.
