Review: Was okay
Rating: 3 out of 5

The story was okay but could have been better.  I felt sorry for Trent but the out of the blue sexual attraction for his best friend and the friends reciprocation felt a bit forced.  The subject of abuse is touchy and the Author did portray the very real danger of staying in an abusive (especially physical) relationship, and I felt she did it well.  There really is no explaining what drives a person to stay no matter the consequences.My main problem with this book and so many other lately is not using contractions to up word count.  The characters vouches are coming across too formal and stilted making reading the story rather annoying to read.  Using more words in a book does not make it better if the words you are using are obviously used for upping the word count.  If you need more word then find more things to write about that make your story interesting.  Please start using contractions they make your writing seem more real, especially for contemporary stories with everyday people as characters.
