I find it frustrating how people who talk with each other so much can misscommunicate so badly! 

I almost dropped this book after page one and realizing that the lack of punctuation isn't in fact an error in my ebook—I'm glad I didn't though, I got used to it. The writing is terribly beautiful and raw and made my heart ache a lot. Even though I wanted to shake both main characters on numerous occassions.
