WOW! Just WOW! In no way did I see that coming! I knew after reading the synopsis that I was in for a little bit of mystery and a few twists, especially with a quote like " We are all pawns in some own else's game" I just had no clue how amazing this book was going to be! Not only do we get a mystery and romance, we get betrayal, seduction, and rekindling of lost love. Just when I thought I had things figured out , BAM! things would change and completely make me rethink where I thought this story was headed. I don't know about you, but I happen to love that about a book. We get to learn a little bit about Violet's past in the prologue, but DANG!! wouldn't have really put together that past, and the fact that she has to face it head on with everything else going on... wow, what a strong character. With that said, there were several times that I wish I could have reached in to the book to stop her, grab her by the shoulders and yell: NO!! STOP!! DON'T DO IT!!!! then of course the book wouldn't have been nearly as good :) At one point, I really thought I had this one figured out, how it was going to end, why people did what they did ect. Then I was smacked in the face yet again with another twist... seriously didn't see that coming... amazing...just amazing. I have to be honest with you, this book came out in May, I purchased it in July and didn't start to read it until the beginning of September....I really am kicking myself for putting this off for so long! I just finished this a few days ago and I already want to read it again. Distractions is truly a great read, and to find out that this is J.L. Brooks first book.... even more impressive! I can't wait to see what else she has in store for us in the future!!![...]
