Not much into romance novels, or chick flick literiture, but enjoying your style of writing. It is very much on the edge of your seat style. You would be good at writing mysteries. Suicide is a very lonely path, a very selfish action. I see that aspect in the characters not wishing to reach out for help. You want someone to help, to make you feel better about yourself, your in pain, but in the same breath you find comfort in the suffering, that somehow you deserve the hurt and that you must be punished, that you earned the response of others. You wollar in self-pity. Tough stuff, but on the other side of that pain, when the clouds break and the light shines through there is such release and blessing, to be alive, and to feel that you have value, apart from others.
