curvenoun [kurv]1. A line or surface that deviates from straightness without angles.2. A rounded line or contour of the human body.3. A bend in a road or other path.4. Slang Something that is unexpected or designed to trick or deceive.Seventeen year old Cass can't believe her luck when the gorgeous Rob shows interest in her at the school dance. She is so happy and excited to be dancing in the arms of such a popular boy. But then her best friends brother Flynn cuts in and whisks Cass away. Cass is angry and confused. No boy has ever shown interest in her before. Why is Flynn acting this way? But much to Cass's dismay, Flynn's reasons are very honourable. And around this time Cass starts to see Flynn in a completely new way. He is no longer just her best friends brother.For the first portion of the book the focus is mainly on the development of the relationship between Flynn and Cass. A new relationship is exciting and filled with moments of getting to know each other better, the make out sessions, dates and deciding if and when to take things to the next level. I enjoyed taking that journey with them. Things were going along smoothly for them. And then BAM!! There is a big change in the tone of the story. While there was a big chunk that dealt with the relationship of Flynn and Cass, they were dealing with much bigger issues then either of them could have ever expected. And it was through this period that my love for Flynn really grew. The type of man he was became so apparent. He was loyal, loving understanding, patient and caring. His love for Cass was so clear.I really loved the way the issues that Cass was dealing with were handled. Her pain and the effect of everything on those closest to her could really be felt. Whilst this book is New Adult and deals with some really heavy issues, for the most part those scenes aren't overly descriptive. You most certainly know what is occurring and the author did a fantastic job of setting the scenes without being overly wordy. I think it was the absolute perfect way to portray things.The only real downside I could find with the story was that I personally found an overuse of the characters names in some scenes which I didn't think was really needed. Although it didn't really detract from my enjoyment of the story, but did stand out to me at times.Overall, Curve is an emotional story that has your heart really feeling for Cass and Flynn. A beautiful story of love, trust and strength. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next for Cass and Flynn.This book was gifted to me for an honest review.
