DETAILS
Synopsis
|
Spencer and I have been enemies for as
long as I can remember. Though it wasn't hard to fall into lust with him. And
things seemed to be headed to love before unspeakable things happened to
me... Spencer was supposed to be my rock. My
angel. He turned out to be none of those things. What he did hurt more then
the tragedy. I don't think I will ever be able to forgive him... Not that he hasn't tried to win me back
over. His new actions leave me wondering if love can really forgive anything? My name is Harley Maxton and this is my
story. |

Quote(s)
|
1.
I thought she was the most beautiful
girl I had ever seen. I even told my mom I would marry her when I grew up. 2.
I guess you have to realize that there
is a reason for every action and a reaction for each of those actions. I can’t
help but think that maybe Harley is only a bitch because she hides a deep
pain that even I can’t even to understand. 3.
He took me to a shrink and they said I had
HSDD which stands for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder. It’s very common
among rape victims. It pretty much means you have no desire to have sex. 4.
Not every person we think is good is
actually good, Harley. And not every person we think is bad is actually bad. Rapists
feel the need to dominate over a female. They have issues in life where other
people make them feel weak and insecure. That is why they rape, to take that
power away from a helpless woman. It makes them feel strong and powerful… 5.
I’m a guy, Harley. You didn’t dress
like a slut. You dressed like a gorgeous young lady who has a beautiful body.
You have every right to wear sexy clothes. Every woman has the right to look
and feel sexy. Don’t let him take that from you. Sluts are girls that will
sleep with anything that moves. You aren’t like that at all. 6.
Dylan is the one to blame. Whereas some
men will take defeat and move on, Dylan didn’t. he took what he wanted
without permission. It was wrong and no one made him do it. You two
are really good people and this is something horrible that happened. I just
want you all to realize that you didn’t bring it upon yourselves. 7.
Harley, you were raped three days ago. Your
body isn’t ready to have sex yet. Let it heal. You’ll be fine in that
department, and you’ll know when you are ready for that kind of physical response.
Now is just not the time. 8.
“I’m sorry, baby girl. I didn’t want
you to find out this way.” … “No, you didn’t want me to
find out at all.” … “Did you know about me before you slept with him?” … “Yes, I knew about you. I just
thought I could get him back.” … “Then you are just as much
of a whore as he is. I don’t understand how a woman can do this to another
woman. You knew he was taken yet you did it anyway. It makes you worse than
he is…” 9.
What do I do? Fuck someone else. I know
I was going through a lot at the time, but that’s not an excuse. 10.
“… You think you will ever make up with
Carter?” “I hope not. That bitch can
go to hell. I spent the better part of my life making her feel better about
herself. The second I need her for anything, where is she? Nowhere to be
found. That’s not friendship. It’s a freaking babysitting job.” |

Reading Experience

I honestly do not know what to say. Spencer
cheats because he was going through a lot and Harley forgave him because she
knows where his heart at. Brilliant (eye rolling). Speaking of love, I do feel
sad for Polly. When she thought she met the prince charming, she got let down
by the partner. Goodness. Rapist and murderer. May goodness bless her when she
decided to get herself a new partner.
Overall, this is not the kind of book I
will recommend anyone to read. This is really f*cked up and this is all too
much. Maybe it’s because of the cultural differences that when people cheat
in the west, then their partner tend to forgive them if they promise to never
do it again. A leopard can't change its spots. So, nope, I do not recommend
this book, at all. |
Question(s)

Three Most Important
Concepts in This Book
|
1.
Do not cheat your partner in a
relationship, no matter what situation you are in. 2.
Use proper language instead of cursing
all the time. 3.
You value yourself. You value your
friendship. If they are taking you for granted, then you are better off
without them. |
