It was tricky to determine how I felt about this book. I did enjoy reading it, but underneath I had an unsettling feeling. I'm admittedly biased as a consequence of having been in an unhealthy relationship where suicide was threatened as a means of control. So, the thought of a significantly younger woman having to attempt to prevent a man's suicide and then falling in love with him in the process? I had trouble ignoring the alarm bells going off in my mind. That being said, I realize the story was not a manipulative scenario and the more romantic side of me could understand some aspects and go along with it.
