Review
I was so excited to listen to this as I loved Flat Out Love, I was so SO disappointed! !
Blythe McGuire is treading water, going through the motions of college and normal every day mundane things.
The depression of losing her parents in a tragic accident 4 years ago is still too much for her, but she is trying to force herself to live a "normal" life.
In her senior year she meets Chris Shepard and there she finds a "connection", she is able to come to terms with her parents death and share a mutual bond as he has also lost a parent.
Now up to this point the book had potential, however it just started to go downhill from there really. Blythe didn't want a relationship with Chris......then she did........then they had sex .......then they broke up........then she felt the connection........had sex........broke up blah blah blah.
All the way through she seemed to say one thing and then do the complete opposite, I didn't understand her reasoning!
Chris was at first a lovely boy/man who had his own daemons to face but ignorned them to help Blythe with hers, but then all of a sudden he was this 21 year old sex god with better moves than a pornstar.
Chris's siblings were lovely and they took Blythe under their wing and made her part of their family, but at the same time, I felt like she strung Sabin along, as reading between the lines, I think that he was in love with her ( although it was never mentioned) and she leaned too heavily on him.
The whole family was f'd up and needed some serious therapy which again is never mentioned.
A disappointing 2•5☆
