Review Detail

At the beginning of their relationship, Natalie and Dan had a great connection but later this dissolves into fights and accusations. Natalie comes up with a way to show Dan how much she destroyed her after they finally do break up.

What worked: I really love the premise of reading about both sides of a relationship and their different accounts of what caused their breakup.

Fast-paced story told through letters, texts, and chats. Each of these gives readers a small glimpse into the relationship and what might have been behind it unraveling.

What I do like is how neither of these characters is the 'saint'. Each one has faults, insecurities, and selfishness. Natalie is high strung and very insecure with her border-line paranoia of Dan cheating on her. **Readers find out she might be right on this but the ways she goes about it, shows me a girl who has Fatal Attraction tendencies. One of Dan's BFFs, Ruby, calls Natalie a 'emotional vampire'. I tend to agree.

Dan though is no hero either. His own insecurities are shown throughout the novel. I felt he tried to use these as an excuse for his final terrible action that Natalie handled with a big bang of a reveal. Even then, I didn't think her way of getting back at him courageous at all. But that's just my opinion.

Be careful on who you destroy is the main theme throughout this novel. Great insight into seeing both sides of a story and how dangerous is the line between love and paranoia.
