This book has taken me approximately seven hour and 40 minutes to finish. The author has written the story beautifully making me love and hate the characters at the same time.

However, there's a little too much x-rated seen so it kind off annoying because I wasn't aiming for a smutty novel.

This book deals about the imperfection in all of us. To err is human. During the course of the book, I see the main character Grace, grow up and take charge of her life. Although, it's kind of an exact replica of Shopaholic, I was still amused.

The downside is, the guy is quite old. There's an 18 years difference. He's very rich but he's to wallowed up in self hate that he didn't realize that she loved him because of him, not his money. Sometimes I feel like strangling him and shake him out of his senses.

The best friend character wasn't really important here. I don't see the function of her. I much rather read a bout her boss. She's like the boss in The Devil Wears Prada.

This book talks a lot about arts, fashion and loads of other stuff that I don't know. At times, I feel like an idiot not knowing this stuff. Oh, and he offered him to be his mistress for lack of proper words. In my not so humble opinion, I think he has  fear of commitment.

In the end, it just shows that everyone deserve love and we're all fucked up in some way. Not forgetting that this book make me shed a tear or two. there's always the situation or sentence that might hit rather close to home.

Oh, and I realised that reading is my coping mechanism and it's not a very good thing for me. I'm not saying no to the knowledge and benefits. It's just that I tend to read when I'm stressed out or I have an important exam or class tomorrow.

To the readers, FYI, I'm gonna have my first OSPE tomorrow.
It's an exam than I sure will screw up. Now, I'm hoping for the best and start studying. I'm not going to end up like the main character who dropped out of her university 2 weeks before final because she can't cope with reality.
