This is, perhaps, my all time favorite book.  John L'Heureux figuratively pulls your heart out in this book.  It is the saddest, most gut wretching book I have ever read.  Your emotions will be raw after reading this book.  It is the story of love gone completely wrong.  It is the only modern-day tragedy I have ever read.  There is no happily ever after; nothing that even resembles that phrase so do not expect it.  It is wonderfully written and thus the reason you feel for all the characters.  It is a short book of only 272 pages.  The words on those pages will live with you forever. 

I won't give away any more of the plot because it is better that you read it and be surprised than have it given away.  Again, be ready, it is a tragedy.  Those of you waiting and wanting the "white knight moment" to come swooping in will be sorely disappointed.

I literally took a chance on this book one day in a book store.  I saw the cover and was interested so I picked it up and read the first couple of pages.  I realized I had to have this book.  Unfortuately it no longer resides in my collection as I lent it to friend who never returned it/lost it.  I refuse to buy it again hoping that this friend will one day replace it.  We'll see.
