"I know it's bad. But could it be THAT bad?"
Yes.
I gave it halfway to prove or redeem itself. I gave up after that.
I wish I could give fewer than a star and have it count.

It's not romantic, and it's only sexy until they start having sex. After that it's repetitive and depressing. Best character of the book is the roommate who wants to throw Mr. Emotional Abuse out on his ass.
I bought this book because it's the first time I'd ever heard of fan fiction being published for money. But after this book, I reckon publishing will remain difficult for fanfic authors.
