Im not entirely sure how i feel about this book.The fact that Richard does love Nine but is willing to sacrifice that love in order to give his unborn daughter a good life just doesnt sit right with me.I know his intentions might have been in the right place, but is that a good enough excuse to sacrifice a happy life for a content life?Who is to say that he needed to mary Alicia! So many kids come from split parents and they turn out great, again I know he intentions were in the right place but i just left me feeling sort of empty, like maybe there's no hope but thats just bull.(pardon my french =D)The writting style was not my favorite, and it confused me half the time. Also, Nine behaves like a crazy little girl, which was a total turn off. I wish there would have been more comunication between Richard and Nine, cause they would have saved them selves sooo many troubles.An ok book...
