Arsen by Mia Asher
HOLY.MOTHER.FUCKING.SHIT!
I am seriously stunned and speechless.
I am still crying and just wowed by this book.
When I was asked to be apart of this tour, I was like dang this book sounds good. Then I saw it was Angie that was hosting it. She is like me and we both like angst and drama in our books so I jumped on this tour. I am so glad I did.
Talk about book hangover! I am like reeling, remembering the book and I just cry. Sometimes I hate and I mean hate love triangles. It bothers me that women/men cheat. Then there is this book. It shattered all of that and my emotions to bits.
I fell for these characters EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. You know I usually pick one man and run with it, but fuck me senseless I love both of them. I love them both because its so real and raw. Cathy drove me nuts but I connected with her. I felt her pain.
Usually I am so pissed when women cheat. I don't understand the rhythm or reason behind it. With this story I saw, I felt, I got it. I cried because I saw the inevitable. I cried because I was truly sad for her husband, but I understood it. The reasons may seem lame, but I went through miscarriages I know the feeling of not being woman enough, the hurt, the guilt, the loneliness. I just wanted to hide and bury myself in my own misery.
I wanted her to run and open up to her husband, I wanted Cathy to choose wisely. I wanted her to choose Ben!
But Arsen had me, he had my intrigue, he had me so cuntfuzzled that for a while I was like no she needs him. He can heal her, he is what she needs. AAAGGGHHHHHH. Life is that way sometimes it seems. I just couldn't stop reading. I had to know what came next and let me tell you I never felt short-changed. My mouth hung open a few times, tears were shed and my heart broke for Cathy, for Ben, and for Arsen.
How do you do that to a person you love, how can you choose to walk away from the man you know worships you? how can you be with a man you know is volatile yet, is the sweetest thing? How can you break your own heart?
This has to be one of the greatest books I have read in a while. One where I connected with all characters. The ending is simply AMAZING. I am still in shock, still contemplating certain scenes in my head. Trying to make sense of all of it.
I gave this book
6/5 hearts! Ok I know I don't actually have 6 hearts but really its that good. TRUST ME!!!!
