A Twisted Love Story

We all know couples like Wes and Ivy – always breaking up, always getting back together, toxic yet desperately in love, they can't keep their hands off each other, yet seem destined to make each other miserable. They manipulate each other, stab each other in the back, torture the other until they're at the breaking point, yet somehow always wind up back in each other's arms. We watch them in fascination, one part of us envious of such an all-consuming passion, the other repulsed by how miserable they make each other. The unhealthy dynamic plays out, complete with secrets, lies, and murder and while it may be mesmerizing, I wouldn't wish this type of love on anyone. Downing leads us down the garden path, then rips the story apart. If you're a fan of whack-a-do relationships and fabulous obsessions, this book was meant for you.
