Sometimes at night, I wake up and stare at the heart for hours. I think of how I collected each piece from the beach, how I glued it all together into one big sculpture. I wonder if Connor realizes what it means, that he'll always have a piece of me no matter what happens. Each piece of glass is another piece of myself that I gave to him. It's too bad I didn't keep any pieces for myself. At the beginning of senior year, Ann was a smiling, straight-A student and track star with friends and a future. Then she met a haunted young man named Connor. Only she can heal his emotional scars; only he could make her feel so loved - and needed. Ann can't recall the pivotal moment it all changed, when she surrendered everything to be with him, but by graduation, her life has become a dangerous high wire act. Just one mistake could trigger Connor's rage, a senseless storm of cruel words and violence damaging everything - and everyone - in its path. This evocative slideshow of flashbacks reveals a heartbreaking story of love gone terribly wrong.
"I have to try so hard every moment of every day to do and say the right thing, or his mood will turn."
The story was told through a set of flashbacks, in a way a person would try to go over his/her diary with lots of good and bad memories written in there.
What upsets me is that, I haven't seen/read what exactly Connor did to Ann in that "One Year" or the present time, I want to read all the gory details how he hit her, how he struck her with harsh words, how Ann realized it's too much and no longer wants to be part of Connor's rage, endless sorry's and miserable life because, in the first chapter, she was just lying on the floor, feeling all the pain and throbs in her body. She can't seem to move. Shattered glasses, shredded pages of books, torn pictures are everywhere. I want to see/read the part where Connor broke the seaglass Ann made for him that took her months to finish it - Yup, I'm that brutal.
