I can only presume the author was making a statement with this, in that people don’t need to change, and relationships shouldn’t make you different. Interesting that there was no attempt to show the characters growing through the book, and instead everyone stayed exactly the same. I had assumed that the relationship would develop as the book went on and it would leave the reader feeling invested in them, but it really didn’t. Also, by the end I really didn’t buy into their relationship and it still seemed just as teetering on the edge as it did at the start. However, he frequently crossed the line to being a cruel a-hole, especially about throwing the whole whore thing back in Peter’s face all the time. Usually the main character, Austin, was a loveable a-hole and I quite liked how he was different to characters in other books. On the whole I really enjoyed this book, to the extent that I thought it might be on the trajectory for 5 stars.
