Review: Captivating Relationship Drama
Rating: 4 out of 5

'Damaged Girls' is the first in a series about selfish womanizer Stevie and his increasingly complicated relationships with two much younger women, Jessica and Jillian.I thought this was incredibly captivating for a relationship drama with such a heinous main character.  I completely hated Stevie throughout and felt like screaming at the two female leads to drop him, yet I could not stop reading even as things went from bad to worse for everyone involved.  The characters are well fleshed out and believable and the twists and turns were played out to great effect.The narrative bothered me a little bit. It goes from first person narration by a female friend of Stevie's, Morgan, to third person to show what's happening behind closed doors with the main characters.  I didn't totally get Morgan's involvement in the plot.  She is good as a strong female character but aside from chipping in with her opinions she doesn't do much to affect the main story.  The story line with the main characters was very engaging however.This was something a bit different for me but it was a real page turner and I'd recommend to anyone who likes books about relationships with dramatic and involving storylines.
