4.5 EMOTIONAL & MIND BLOWING STARS!!!Touching, realistic, emotional and so romantic. Oh, and I LOVE Lucas Martinez..just thought I would throw that in there before I get started. There are just not enough HOT LATIN men in books today!!!!We’ve all felt lost. At some point or another, we’ve probably all felt like that we were just going through the motions. This is a story about a woman going through this time. She’s given up on pretty much any semblance of a real life and is just existing; not living.Jade’s journey towards peace and redemption was one hell of an emotional roller coaster ride. At around 53% in, Christine knocked me on my ass, completely blind-siding me! I found myself having to walk away to collect my bearings. My heart ached so badly. I did not see that coming. From this point on these characters completely wrecked me. From that point on, the story became so much more to me. Each and every word left me feeling something.Christine Brae, in my opinion, has done it again. She immediately pulled me into the story.Her writing was still as beautiful as ever, but even stronger in this book, in my opinion.I think this story made me experience every emotion that there is to experienced! There were moments that I felt anger and shock. I was delighted at times, confused, and happy at times. But with the confusion came clarity. Those of you that know me know that the ending of a book is everything to me and Insipid truly has one of the most beautiful endings that I have ever read. I was so impressed with the way that Brae brought closure to Jade Richmond’s story.Insipid seemed to be a combination of contemporary romance and women’s fiction. It’s not 100% typical romance, so you will want to keep this in mind if you choose to read this novel. Jade will also not be everyone’s cup of tea. Another time, another place and she easily could’ve been a heroine that I would’ve hated. She is very privileged and I think it would be easy for her to be misunderstood. However, my heart broke for her and I was able to relate to her easily. This is a very unique story, full of wisdom and profound meaning. It is also very apparent to me that the author poured her heart into this novel. Because this story is so different, I realize that it may not be for everyone, but, I for one, absolutely enjoyed it!I'm not here to die. I'm here to live.
