Along with a divided heart comes cheating and that is always painful to read.

One of the main reasons I don't like 'love triangles' is the characters end up with divided hearts. The writing and the execution of the story was ADDICTING. I hate love triangles, most of the time, and yet I couldn’t stop reading this book. Canaries group posed a challenge to read 20 books from your TBR shelf and I decided to read books from my “purchased but unread” shelf.

Then I let it sit on my shelf for almost three years while I read other stuff. I Accidentally on Purpose purchased this book in 2012 when I saw all my friends buying it. Gah! Had I known this was about a love triangle I would have never bought it. Not a great book by any means, I probably won't check out any more their works. How many chances are you going to get in life? You're finally getting things back together and you're jerking around again. I was ready to throw my laptop at the wall after Emmy met with Kyle when she went back to Jersey. This should have been mentioned much earlier in the book as it's a pretty BFD. WTF was up with the random mention of his meth use at the end? Like I said, just an added detail to fit the story. He was a jerk, no one liked him and he was violent. In addition, Kyle didn't seem to have any redeeming qualities. Emmy didn't have any underlying issues that kept her with Kyle, she was a strong, independent female. I work with victims of DV every day, this just didn't make a lot of sense to me. Why did Emmy go back to him after he broke her wrist? And the whole bracelet e on. The violence of the relationship was touched on, but I think it needed to go alot deeper. Instead, the afterthought addition of random facts felt awkward and threw off my reading mojo. How many Paris Hiltons of the world would put up with being a secretary for Kyle and putting in countless hours when they clearly didn't have to work? This was an obvious attempt by the author to beef up the storyline, which was already interesting. Random facts were thrown in just to fit the story, they didn't even really make sense, such as Emmy's parents being loaded and her being a trust fund baby. The author did not do a good job of explaining why Emmy was so into Kyle and was unable to give him up when clearly Luke was the better prospect. It started out all right for me and I was starting to get into Emmy and Kyle's dysfunctional relationship.Īs soon as Luke entered the picture, L.D.
