Disappointing
I hated the message that this book sent. It's the story of Tate, reasonably intelligent woman in her 20s who agrees to have a sex-only relationship with Miles, a pilot in his 20s. They have sex and he won't look at her. After the sex she has to leave his apartment. This happens repeatedly and Tate feels increasingly hurt. She wants love or at least some expression of emotion. She starts to rebel about the relationship until she sees him again. Then she turns "to water." He's the ship cutting through the water and she's the wake following him. She also experiences self-hate over her weakness. So it's the story of a young woman with no self-confidence or self-respect who jumps in bed whenever Miles wants her. We learn why Miles is the way he is. But we're supposed to believe he has a sudden epiphany, resolves his teen misery, and suddenly opens up to Tate. And she of course accepts him back. The only positive is that the writing is decent.
