I think this was an Amazon First Reads pick. I originally thought I'd be rating this lower than I have because I spent the first half to two-thirds of the book with the only redeeming feature of the main character being that she loved her dog. (And even that, there were times that her self-destructiveness meant she forgot to feed him or left him outside for long periods.) It wasn't until the reason for her self-destructive behavior was revealed that she became a sympathetic character for me.

And yet, despite such self-destructive behavior, she has not one, but two, "hot" guys in her life. I'm not a fan of the sex outside of marriage that populates most books in this genre however, and the book lost points for Anna doing so with both guys (at different times).
