Obsessed
by Ivy Smoak
I loved this in case it wasn’t obvious by my rating. You may think this book was going to be repetitive but you’re wrong. This felt like a new book despite being Temptation but in James pov.
This was enlightening and interesting in so many ways…
I was excited and scared to be in James’s mind but let me tell you, it was enlightening. The way his mind works is so relatable and a person with his past can only do so much. He has so much low esteem and self loathing… All of his life, he never felt love or happiness and that’s just sad. I felt for him on a deep level and it made him so relatable.
His sessions with Dr. Clark were interesting. In his first session I was like “ Doc do you even know what you’re doing” but on the second session I was like “ yep Doc, you do know what you’re doing “ and also we do get to see what it was like for him and what he felt at the time when he was in college so that means everything that happened in Empire High and wasn’t that a revelation of events. I loved reading his pov and be able to pin point what happened in that point of his life.
Every single time James thought of penny it was either so sweet or hot or depressing. Professor Hunter is definitely a sexy men but with a lot of baggage and issues.
The last chapters where James “left Penny” I was like “ it’s not like her lie was worse than yours “ but still it’s understandable why he felt like he can’t trust anyone because let’s face it , if everyone in your life only lied to you wouldn’t you have the same trust issues? Still do I think it was necessary for him to leave her? No, I don’t because again I think his lie was worse but he was so overwhelmed with what she told him plus what was crossing through his mind at the time wasn’t great, he though he was a monster so again understandable.
Honestly I kind of fascinated with his mind.
Now I may or may not have called Isabella a b**ch a few times because like James said she’s crazy and a psycho and we all know how many problems she creates for our favorite characters so I just couldn’t control myself.
