Crashed
by K. Bromberg
4.5 stars!
I hereby dub K. Bromberg the queen of symbolism! She weaves it in her stories SO amazingly. Racing, candy bars, superheroes... so much symbolism!
On to the story...
Crashed picks up where Fueled left off. If you haven't read it, stop reading this review and go read it (and Driven as well!)
We all remember the cliffy that we were left with at the end of Fueled. The one that made us scream? The one that made me want to throw my kindle? Yeah, that one.
So, here we are with our lovely Colton broken and battered after his accident. I am not going to spoil it, but really... you can guess as to whether he lives or not ;) Wouldn't be much of a book without him, would it?
How Colton reacts to his injuries kills me. Just kills me. I wanted to throttle him more than once. (ok, maybe 50 or so times). I also wanted to scream at Rylee for taking it. I know, I know...she loved him. However, he was SUCH a douchebag. It was hard for me to get past it. I understand someone lashing out at the person that they love, especially when they are so broken (as Colton is) but DAMN! It was difficult to watch.
Then we have the redemption. Watching Colton become whole was amazing. It was so well written. I love that it wasn't easy. I love that it was WORK. I love how he did it. I love how Rylee supported his journey to becoming whole. *swoon*
There were parts of this book that gutted me. Parts that made me angry. Parts that made me cheer. Parts that made me cry. Parts that made me sappy. That is the mark of a wonderfully written book. When you run the gamut of emotions, you know you are reading something good. And believe me, I had emotions during reading this. LOTS of them!
I was sad to see the story of Colton and Rylee come to an end. It was a beautiful, difficult love story. Even though I was sad for it to end, I was so happy to read their epilogue. They really do get their HEA. It's worth all of everything they went through.
Now, here's the squee worthy news: Next up is Becks and Haddie. I am DYING to read Haddie's story. I just adore that girl!
