Arsen: A Broken Love Story by Mackenzie Cartwright, Roger Wayne, Mia Asher

3.0

I am not actually sure about that 3 stars, was thinking of 1. If I will rate this book solely for Ben, I would've given it 5. His character deserves it, not Catherine nor Arsen. I don't have words for how frustrated I was while reading this. The connection between Cathy and Arsen is so lacking but the fcking makes it for that, I guess. For Ben, I cried because that's what true love is. The author was trying to justify Cathy and Arsen's relationship as love and I couldn't, for the life of me, fathom why because of how ridiculous it was. No, it was purely sex. And you can't mistake love for sex.

Love can destroy you.
Love can erase you.
Love can heal you.
Love can reinvent you,
And, if you are lucky enough,
Love can make you whole again.
