Let me start by saying that Sweet Destruction is a very descriptive book. Normally, I shy away from overly descriptive details. I prefer action and dialogue, but this book is different. I didn't get bored; in fact, I got sucked in deeper and deeper into Sam, Cole, and Bentley's world. I could FEEL what it's like to be in their poverty stricken life. I could FEEL their hunger for something better: I could FEEL their plight.For as long as Sam can remember, it's always been just her brother Bentley and his best friend Cole. They watch each others backs, and take care of one another. But Sam can't be separated from her brother Bentley or she literally can't survive. One night Sam snitches on Cole in order to save Bentley. Sam and Cole's relationship is never the same, but that never stopped Cole from watching out for Sam. Somewhere in that hate is also a need: A need to protect and love and give. Sam needs Cole just as much-if not more-than Bentley.Sam and Cole's attraction is flammable. There's a lot of push and pull in their relationship, but it made some great reading. I wasn't annoyed by their love/hate relationship like so many other books I have read. Instead, I found it thrilling and hot. Their relationship is almost taboo, and it just made me want to keep reading the book more.Paige Weaver did a wonderful job creating a story about survival. It's survival of the fittest, and they'll do anything in order to stay above water. Existing in their world means doing anything to endure another day of living. Sweet Destruction definitely left a big impression.
