4 Angst Filled Stars!Review by Jen Hagen
If you cannot tolerate the idea of cheating, then I advise you to step away from this book. However, if you are a full angst lover and enjoy your heart palpating 100 beats a minute, then you need to buy this book. I am the latter and this book did not disappoint in terms of bringing out various emotions; which for the most part was anger directed towards a certain man.
Brooke and Savannah are the best of friends. Brooke has just accepted a job as a design
artist at the same fashion magazine as Savannah. Brooke has always been a little shy, always
following the rules, and thus is used to hearing her friend tell her to live
her life a little! Savannah is the
female version of a man whore. She
currently has a standing Friday night reservation with Luke in her
bedroom.
Brooke meets Lucas after his vehicle collides into
hers. Lucas is gorgeous and is smitten
immediately with Brooke. He asks her out
on a date and she accepts because she’s been told to live her life. A date with handsome Lucas certainly falls
into the lines of living her life Do
you see the correlation?
Luke…Lucas. Neither of them
catches on to the remote possibility that they could be dating the same man until
one day a surprise interaction between the three of them puts into motion a
cataclysmic kiss.
I watched in
horror, as her experience and confidence disarmed the man I was attracted to,
the man I had given myself to. Just.
Last. Night.
And what does the jerk have to say for himself after he
realizes he’s caught in his own lies?... "I
think the two of you need to talk."
Since Savannah is usually involved in a man for just a
good time, she relinquishes Luke to Brooke because it’s obvious that Brooke has
developed feelings for Lucas. But the
game isn’t over yet. Luke/Lucas still
has a game of his own to play, and he’s pitting the friends against each other
turning them into fierce competitors.
It’s very rare that I find a character that I loathe
completely. There’s usually something
that will bring about my empathy, but in this particular case there is nothing
good to be found in Luke/Lucas. He gives
man whores a bad rep. At least man
whores are usually honest when they say they can’t commit to a
relationship. In this case, Luke/Lucas
was pulling out the love card for both Brooke and Savannah.
“Brooke, I think
I’m in love with you.”
“I’m done with her;
it’s me and you, Savannah. I think I’m
in love with you.”
It’s amazing how he can play these two friends and in the
midst of it all ruin a perfectly good friendship the girls had going on. But just wait…the player gets played and
“Operation Destroy Luke Wellington” is successful. Luke/Lucas doesn’t even see it coming and it’s good to finally
see him being the one clueless as to what is going on around him.
“To the destruction
of Lucas Wellington, may his dick join his balls six feet under.”
GIRLFRIENDS UNITE!!
Never underestimate the power of a good friendship.
