Obsessive Addiction

I liked this book better in theory than I did in execution. One, I didn't realize it was only going to be 98 pages long. That was way too short to give the subject matter this author tackles its proper due. Which leads me to my second issue. The doom and gloom of this book was laid on SO thick and for SO long (70 pages) that “I” wanted to drown myself in the bathtub. Sexual abuse. Bullying. It was really just way too much, especially (and I'll say it again) in such a short book.





Which leads me to yet another issue I had. I felt ZERO connection between the hero and heroine. We basically get NO interactions between them until he ends up on her doorstep after he gets out of prison. I didn't believe for ONE second that this girl (who legit should have been taken for a psych eval, in therapy, and on some sort of medication) would just be A-OK with this (not quite all there) hero being all over her.

So yea, this book fell short (see what I did there lol) of my expectations. I think had it been about a hundred pages longer and the story fleshed out much much more, it could have been a solid 4-Star read. As it stands, I can't give this one more than 2.
