White Oleander by Janet Fitch

"A common experience:

Many women get involved with a man that you pretty much know isn't suitable and you're kind of breaking your rules, but he's attractive in some unknown way. And then he doesn't even realize what a sacrifice you're making by being with him and he dumps you! And you're just so angry at yourself for breaking your rules and angry at him for not realizing what he's given up."
