I don't know if I can even swallow what I just read.....It was a mind blowing story of right and wrong. Every single aspect of this story surprised me. Prepare yourself for a book that is going to flip your whole world upside down! Distractions may be the one distraction that you won't want to miss!!!I don't know what I liked more, Violet or the fact this book wasn't exactly what I thought it was going to be. Ok I think I loved the fact that I had initially thought I was going to be reading a love story with some angst! So so wrong! This book was all about screwing with your head, and just when you think you are going to figure out what will happen next....BAM you're hit with something new. I think Violet is just added collateral for this story. As much as this book is centered around her, there is a bigger picture where things get cray cray!!Another thing that intrigued me with this story were the two men who own Vy's heart. Shepard and Connor. They aren't your run of the mill book boyfriends. They actually had a "real feel" to them. The fact that Violet was unsure what to feel with each man, pulled at my heartstrings a bit. They each took a piece of my heart on their venture to Vy's. I suppose their intertwined love story aspect of this book was a bit slow....but that is what made Distractions a better story. These three individuals slowly consume you. You don't know who to love more. Shepard or Connor.For this being a debut novel for Author JL Brooks, I am a bit blown away. Talk about an interesting and mind boggling story. Author JL Brooks mesmerized me with her writing style and creativity with the story line. I will certainly be following Author JL Brooks from here on out! Distractions had me completely enthralled in the story from the get. It is unlike any other story I have read, and I think that is why I enjoyed it so much!!
