Query: Was this love?

There have been many reviews of this book that point out the various flaws. My biggest complaint is that the character of Chris is presented as a loving and caring one, but actually his treatment of Emily was cruel. Who dared her to go in the men's restroom when she was nine? Who dared her to go down a ski slope that was too much for her, so she broke her leg? Who kept pushing her to have sex with him at age 15 when she repeatedly said no? And is it really love to let your best friend kill herself without trying to get help for her? With friends like Chris, who needs enemies? Chris comes across as an oppressive, possessive stalker, which might be the reason Em felt trapped. This type of unhealthy attachment is what the two sets of parents should have noticed.
