Review: Heartbreak and Angst
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 18, 2013
This book comes off a little familiar, running away from the past, childhood love and the reuniting of it, but I still thought it was a good read.Maggie was best friends with her twin Jeremy, his buddy Luke and their buddy Dean all through school, and now the boys were ready to head off to college. She had a strained relationship with her parents as Jeremy was the favorite, so Maggie was going to go to community college and working to save money for culinary classes. Her dream was to eventually open her own bakery. Maggie's home life was horrible, something she kept a secret from everybody, until it became just too much. She left her brother and now boyfriend Luke a note and skipped town.Luke is a sexy broken man. Although his note from Maggie says it all, he just can't see why she didn't love him enough to let him help her-he thinks there is more. It has been two years and after suffering the heartache of Maggie leaving, Luke suffers again and just about looses it altogether.The boys are on a break from college and out of all the strip clubs in New York, they end up in the one Maggie works at. It has been two years and she has tried her best to move on, the last thing she needs is Luke back in her life. They are drawn together and eventually have to figure things out, but now Max is in the picture. He works at the club and has helped Maggie live for the past six months. Of course there are more secrets to be reveled and more heartbreak. At times I was annoyed with Maggie being so wishy-washy, but with her jagged past I had to give her a break.Like I said, the book had some familiar undertones and was a very angsty read.
