A review by litloulou
Collide by Gail McHugh
2.0
I am at a 2.5 I guess.
Throughout this book I had to remind myself of the abuse Dillon was committing. It is so easy as an outsider to be so friggin annoyed by the 10th time Emily made excuses for Dillon but wouldn't trust Gavin. I was So. Over it. But truth be told, I think it is realistic. She essentially doesn't leave until he sexually assaults her. When given all the other opportunities I honestly don't believe that is the moment she would crack. But again, I know that being abused fucks with you. I also saw Gavin to be a bit to aggressive in the end. Like when that was her issue already, why would you perpetuate it 'alpha' or not. No means no (unless safewords are involved) and it didn't feel like Gavin always did that. But tbh I really loved Gavin. I expected him to have some dark secret or like sexual quirk so he was a little boring from that standpoint. But yeah, I started finding it hard to sympathize which in the end made me feel like a bad person.
Oh also. The narrator was Not for me. Sorry, but every 'other' voice including males, kids, and other females was cringe worthy. I didn't like hers as much either but oh well. I admit the narrator may have made my review even more negative but it is what it is.
Don't think I care about what happens next. Also might need to rethink love triangles if most of them are like this one
