Darra's Review:
I want to say that I read both irreparably broken and irreversible damage in a matter of 3 days. Three days of losing my mind! The first book was amazing and so unpredictable! Irreversible damage put a lump in my throat and broke my heart. Don't get me wrong, my brain was swimming with all the love that Tori and Brady have for each other. You actually feel the emotions that KJ Bell wrote. It is books like these that remind you why you love to read. A great rollercoaster you can't help but ride. And speaking of Brady.. ;-)The emotions you feel for him are unbelievable. Yes, there are times you want to slap him and tell him he is being an idiot. But 90% of this book, you will love Brady whole heartedly. There is so much story behind a guy like him, I could write a review for days.
There were parts I cried for Tori. It was so sad and painful what she went thru. It feels as if you were there with her. This is where I have the puppy dog eyes and want a hug.
And Tug....I am in love with him. He is the guy you want to pick up and put back together. I read his POV as well. If you don't get enough of Tug in this book, just wait. Actually I am dying to read more about him.
I must stop typing! We loved these books. I can't express how much I loved them(well maybe I have). The more I think about it, the more I want to re-read...and I just finished this morning! I rate the book a 4.7. Such a fantastic story of characters surpassing all the terrible memories of their past. Give KJ Bell some love. She is great writer and I look forward to reading many more!
Sunny's Review:
So you all read Darra's gushing and I have to agree with her whole heartedly. I read both books in a day and I can tell you that I was an emotional wreck! The first book was AMAZING and I totally fell in love with Brady. I thought he was awesome and for everything that he was going through he still tried to be a great person (even though he didn't think he was).
This book...I don't even know what to really say...COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN OR STOP THE TEARS FROM FLOWING! KJ did an awesome job of being unpredictable in this book too. I finished this book Sunday night and literally just kept looking at Darra and sighing on Monday b/c I needed to talk about it but she wasn't very far into it. Brady was amazing in this book as well and you can't help but love him even more. There were some things that he did that were wrong and I can totally understand why Tori did SOME of the things that she did (not all of them but some). Tori really grew up even more in this book and had to deal some truly horrible situations. I don't know how people deal with what she dealt with and seriously KJ made me feel like it was happening to one of my close friends and I could feel her pain.
One area I have to kind of disagree but not really with Darra is Tug. I love him and I can't wait to read his book but at the same time...eh give me Brady. I don't know why I am a little bit more unemotional about Tug but he just really seemed way to young maybe. Don't get me wrong...he is an awesome friend and I do hate Tori for not loving him the way she does Brady. I really do want to see what happens with him.
I agree with Darra...this book is 4.7 stars. You have to read this. I can't say it enough. We just got done talking about how there have not been that many books recently that have made us sit there and be like "hurry and read this...must discuss!" but this one did. I actually told Darra to call in sick on Tuesday to stay home and read--she didn't but she did finish quickly and we literally dissected it yesterday. Just as an FYI we did meet KJ Bell at the Houston Book Rave last month and she was super sweet. I think part of me likes the book that much more. I loved getting meet her and I really hope that you enjoy her book as much as I did.
