Strangers in My Bed by Jade West

5.0

Well that was something else...no really that was definitely not a story with a relatively straight line romance. I will be honest I was not going to continue with the book after about the 20% mark because by that point I realized the MMC1 was not going to be redeemable in my mind and I was not sure I wanted to invest myself in what I thought would be reader heartbreak...soooo like a bad reader I went and read some other review and spoilers, which I highly recommend doing if you are on the fence about reading this book because it gave me enough insight to understand what the point of the 1st part of the story relationships were and that they had a bigger purpose down the road. This was a well written story. I think it can be incredibly triggering for a lot of people who either have been in relationships like this or have seen it first hand. This book made me uncomfortable, angry, sad, frustrated, disgusted and also hopeful. While there were some places that either seemed a little too drawn out and some others a bit rushed this felt like a very real situation that almost anyone could find themselves in whether romantic or friendship. The story was engrossing kind of like watching a car accident hoping for a miracle happy ending. Which there is a happy ending just not in the way you would imagine from the majority of this book. While not exactly what I would call a "feel good" story this really had me by the balls to see how the cookie would crumble and made me feel some kinda ways. I loved it but also hated it a little and to me that is a recipe for a great story. This will not be everyone's cup of coffee (inside book joke) but I will certainly remember this book over many other lighter impact books I have read this year.
