This is really a 80/20 situation. Life is never a 100. Once you have the 80 you might want the 20 soo bad that you're willing to sacrifice 80, but once you lose the 80 all of a sudden reality kicks in. If Landon could've divorced Tori, only then will she really hate the person she has turned to be but because she knows Landon will always be there to pick her up, that's what makes her to still miss Alec. Lust like any other drug, can make you lose touch with reality and hurt everyone that really cares for you. I really appreciate this book, I think it just made me fall in love with my wife all over again. Always thought I'm missing something even though my wife has always been caring and loving. I think what really shifted my thinking among many things I read from this book, is the paragraph from Corellis mandolin. Thanks a lot for this book.
