Arsen, Arsen, Arsen. What a roller coaster ride this one was; weeks later and I'm pretty sure my heart isn't fully healed yet. While this story is wonderfully written and the story sucks you in and leaves you holding your breath for most of the way, it wasn't an easy read by any means. It took me much longer to finish than the average book simply because the topic was hard and I was literally bent over with nausea waiting for everything to blow up in the main character's face.If you're coming to look for a review of ARSEN, I'm pretty sure you've read the synopsis already and know that this story centers around cheating. Cathy is torn between her husband, the man she made an oath to, and a distraction who goes by the name of Arsen. She stays away as long as she can but eventually the turmoil in her life leads her to make a decision that fuels the rest of the story.What I loved about this book was that it stretched me and brought out feelings I'd never experienced while reading before. Having to put a book down because I was overcome with nausea was a first for me. But when a book can make you feel something like that, it says something great about the writing and the skills of the author. I liked all of the characters and I truly felt for all of them in their own way.  I hope there is a follow up book so that the one that had to walk away gets their happily ever after because with two men fighting over the same woman, someone had to walk away empty handed.If you're looking for a book filled with angst and can handle the subject matter, I would highly, highly recommend this book. Just be warned it's not easy ... but love never is.
