PERSONAL OPINION: I really enjoyed reading this book as it was very interesting. This story is very painful and makes you empathize with Tess and her suffering. Personally, I think, it is not a romantic novel because despite having its beautiful things, Angel and Tess's relationship is not healthy at all, and let's not even talk about Alec, I ended up hating him! His final reaction left me very surprised.
