“Izzy, I’ve learned the hard way that to have any kind of a future you’ve got to give up hope of ever changing your past.”

-M.L. Stedman

Gutted, I really am
all because of the story  you wrote
so good, so sad, so real
how cruel you are,
to make me feel –
torn between characters
good people every one
you’ve gutted me,  wrung me dry
now I’m all undone

*Don’t get me wrong. It’s an amazing book.  A bit frustrating at times because you fall in love with the characters and they’re just to human and fallible, and…and now that Tom and Izzy and Lucy have managed to dig a hole so deep inside my heart,  part of me wishes I never read it…because darn it, it hurts.
