I am so conflicted about C.C. Brown's book, Red Flags. It was like watching a train wreck, I know that I should look away cuz this is not going to end well but I can't. I can't stop watching or well reading in this case. Jason and Cara have one of the most dysfunctional relationships I have ever read. Ever, and I read a lot.The story starts out with Jason approaching Cara in class and asking her out. She says yes and he walks Cara and her BFF and roommate, Chelsea, home. The whole first chapter lives up to its title Red Flags. Chapter one is a red flag, I wanted to shake Cara and tell her to run far away from Jason. Run away as fast as you can, but of course she doesn't.He gets possessive and jealous before they even make it to her house. Then they proceed to have sex in her room while her roommates listen and congratulate her afterwards.  From there its just a mess. Cara sobs a lot and Jason acts like a crazy person. They fight, they makeup, they have the same fight, they makeup, they have a new fight, they makeup. And so on and so on it continues.Overall I found this book to be annoying and I didn't like either the heroine or the supposed hero. I did like Chelsea, Cara's BFF. I found her to be the best character in the book. She was loyal, supportive and honest with Cara. I would love to see a book about her.I did finish reading this book because while I did find it  to be annoying I really did want to see how it ended. I will also be picking up book 2 when it comes out and anything else that the author, C.C. Brown writes. Mainly because she pulled me into her story and I couldn't quit reading til the end but also because even though I felt annoyed with it I was still feeling something and days after reading this book I am still thinking about it. So if you feel like jumping on the crazy train and reading a book that could drive you right to crazyville, then read the book.
