*** Bottle Caps
“Here's to bottle caps,the Yankees, and 'birds', and most of all"...he paused and lowered his voice to a whisper.." and,most of all to a beautiful girl named Molly who refuses to believe the man-the man who loves her more than she'll ever know”
I seem to be the odd girl out here. The story was just OK for me. I wanted to love it, I really did but mostly found myself highly frustrated. And not in a "hot -n- bothered" kind of way.
Emily moves to New York to be near her boyfriend Dillon after her mother dies of Cancer. She is living with her college roommate and soon lands a job as a waitress. A food delivery with a side of fate leads her to Gavin Blake. Gavin, suffering from love at first site, makes no attempt to hide his interest in Emily. A night on the town with her boyfriend Dillon and a run in with Gavin will reveal that he is a friend of Dillon's. This in no way detours Gavin from his pursuit of Emily.... great friend right?
Soon Emily discovers that Dillon is not as he seems, he's actually a douchebag and a cheat. Enter sweet and charming Gavin. A love triangle ensues. Emily is torn. Having enough of Dillon's BS, Emily calls it quits and sleeps with Gavin. Everything is happy in Emily/Gavin land for a whole night until an ex shows up at Gavin's apartment and Emily is led to believe that he is no different than Dillon.
Dillon crawls back begging for forgiveness after Emily feels she has been scorned by Gavin. Emily has a decision to make and is driving everyone, especially me, crazy with her indecision as to what it is she really wants. Emily will need to decide if she wants to pursue a life with now fiance, douchebag Dillon or take a chance on Gavin who makes her feel everything she should feel.
Cliffhanger alert! We will need to wait for Pulse (Collide #2) to see what choice Emily will make.
