There are sort of spoilers, but if you're on the fence about this book because of the love triangle, definitely read it anyway. I feel its redeemable by the end :) great writing, great story!
So I was a bit pessimistic about this book, mainly because I read a couple of reviews that weren't loving it because of the triangle. Let me just admit fully that all three main characters annoyed the cheez-it's out of me for MOST of the book. That being said I also loved that they were all real flawed humans, and not just perfect and movie star hot people with perfect personalities.
Sadie - the most selfish and dim witted person ever. Seriously how do you not just ASK your husband if he is cheating??? If I thought my husband was cheating I would yes look for clues first, but after the bowling alley she should have asked. Come on!!!! Luckily she semi redeems herself by the end. KIND OF!
Nate - the most passive aggressive idiot ever. Ok I wish I had written more horrible things about him before the end, because I really hated him until he said the whole "I will fight for you...." Whatever speak, because I literally cried because forgiveness when you're in love is my weak spot.
Finn - he's like a big ass creepy lurker. Ok maybe not. He has good intentions and he's just in an unhappy place and trying to prevent sadie from having to experience that bad place too. Is he selfish, YES! But he and Sadie are clearly the same person in their relationships. Finn just got stuck in his where as Sadie eliminated her "stickiness" and her relationship really was out of love not obligation.
Ok so none of that probably makes sense, but I hated everyone until about 84% in and then I started crying during half of the dialogue. By the end I decided that I want to marry Nathan so hopefully they do get a divorce.... But not really because I'm so happy and hope they get their baby :)
