This should have been mentioned much earlier in the book as it's a pretty BFD. WTF was up with the random mention of his meth use at the end? Like I said, just an added detail to fit the story. He was a jerk, no one liked him and he was violent. In addition, Kyle didn't seem to have any redeeming qualities. Emmy didn't have any underlying issues that kept her with Kyle, she was a strong, independent female. I work with victims of DV every day, this just didn't make a lot of sense to me. Why did Emmy go back to him after he broke her wrist? And the whole bracelet e on. The violence of the relationship was touched on, but I think it needed to go alot deeper. Instead, the afterthought addition of random facts felt awkward and threw off my reading mojo. How many Paris Hiltons of the world would put up with being a secretary for Kyle and putting in countless hours when they clearly didn't have to work? This was an obvious attempt by the author to beef up the storyline, which was already interesting. Random facts were thrown in just to fit the story, they didn't even really make sense, such as Emmy's parents being loaded and her being a trust fund baby. The author did not do a good job of explaining why Emmy was so into Kyle and was unable to give him up when clearly Luke was the better prospect. It started out all right for me and I was starting to get into Emmy and Kyle's dysfunctional relationship.Īs soon as Luke entered the picture, L.D.
