I understand some people will not agree with me on my opinion and its absolutely fine for me. <br /><br />I didn't mean that it was right for him to do all those wrong things. What I really meant was, I understood. But that also doesn't mean I agree with those things. Understanding what happened and tolerating it is two different things.<br /><br />Life is a big mess. Everything that happens to us is either the effect of our actions or other peoples actions. And for me, in Connor's case, it's unfortunate that he has to grow up in a household like that. I don't take his side or anything, but like you said I do sympathize for him.<br /><br />As for the ending, I would have wanted him to change for Ann. Too bad it didn't happen. But was happy that she left him. She deserved all the love she should get.<br /><br />Also, this review was from back 2012 I think. LOL. This is a new blog so I have to repost all my previous reviews from Goodreads. :)<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.

I read this book as well, quite awhile ago so I have forgotten several details. I've always kind of wanted to reread it.<br /><br />I do think it wasn't the author's intention to say Ann should have stayed so long, though. It's good to be able to sympathize with people, even those like Connor who have done countless things wrong in life. There is always a reason, but I think saying he's "not so bad" or putting his needs before Ann's is also wrong.<br /><br />To me this book showed so many influences of the abuse (the parents, Connor's past, etc.) to give more insight and understanding to how they got into this situation - but not to justify it or take the blame off Connor.<br /><br />Everyone takes different things out of reading, though, and I do admire you for writing an opinion you knew, even at the time wouldn't be popular. Of course I'm not trying to put down your opinion, just sharing another side :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524852861418651640.post-33412894520801779862014-08-09T15:32:45.109-07:002014-08-09T15:32:45.109-07:00Yeah.

I like doing that with my review sometimes. If I could relate or not relate to some part of the book, I'll tell them why and explain and stuff like that. Sometimes, I just couldn't really review the writing itself. Sometimes, I just review the content.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09063093623035439954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524852861418651640.post-14799901180922604942014-08-09T15:29:02.709-07:002014-08-09T15:29:02.709-07:00Thanks Erin! :)

I'm assuming this is NA? I like how you questioned how you would respond to a situation like the protagonist, it's cool how you worked that into your review.

The beach glass collector in me is drawn to this cover just like I was with Twenty Boy Summer...<br /><br />I think I'm going to have to read it just because of everything that is in it. It seems like a book that I'm usually a reader of, so we'll see. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.
