Release Date: November 2, 2017
Former hot mess seeking dysfunctional relationship single, well-together male. Sanity preferable.
From now on, I’m going to do everything right. I’m going to make good choices. Say goodbye to the bad boys, narcissists, and emotionally unavailable men. Because starting today, I’m a girl on a mission.
Find a man to walk me down that aisle.
It’s a good solid plan, but there’s only one tiny hiccup.
Adrian Daire.
I’ve asked for his help because if anyone can make me marketable, it’s him.
Only problem?
He’s also one of the aforementioned emotionally unavailable bad boys/ narcissists. Oh, yeah and he slightly crushed my soul once before. But no biggie. I’ve got three whole weeks to exorcise him from my head and my heart… for good.
A. Zavarelli is a book junkie, cat lover, and traveler when plagued by intense cases of wanderlust. She likes all things chocolate, books that come with warnings, and putting her characters through hell.
Her tales have been known to flirt with darkness and sometimes court it unabashedly altogether. Revenge themes and tortured souls are her favorites to write and this gives her an excuse to watch bizarre and twisted documentaries in her spare time.
She is slightly obsessed with Theo James and funny animal memes. If you don’t mind these things, you should add her on facebook.
Lola B is a simple girl with simple dreams.
Love. Marriage. Kids.
And she keeps making wrong choices all the time !!
" If I had any sense about me, I would have walked away from this dysfunctional relationship years ago. But my brain is programmed to want all the things I’m not supposed to have. Chocolate. Candy. Assholes. "
So she's on a wheel , running and getting nowhere, with "Bad Choices" song playing in the background. She's had her heart broken when younger and her nemesis is hell bent on poking her every year. She hates his face -Adrian Daire , might as well be the Devil himself, the way LB hates him with her every pore.
He's order, and I am chaos. We don't mix.
She’s tarred me as a sellout. A slave to the corporate world. A dispassionate jackass with a blackened heart. In her mind, she is the Eat, Pray, Love to my Wolf on Wall Street."
And as the story unfolds you see the things they've been hiding, the layers to their disorders, the hidden secrets in their closets. Things are definitely not what they seem to be always.
Eyes DO deceive you at times !!
And they Hate each other...well apparently !
“Sometimes the things we hate so much in others are a reflection of the way we feel about ourselves,Sometimes, we don't love what's good for us. Sometimes we board a sinking ship and punch the ticket anyway. Because self-sacrifice is such a romantic notion. Until you grow up. And then it isn't."
I loved the characters to an extent. The story was very novel, very different. Lola frustrated me no end with her ASSumptions!!ðŸ˜
She's a grown up , yet continues to behave childishly, running from problems is her MO. Assuming everything that's not true and believing in all the untruths...very annoying
Adrian in all his assholery is a tragic figure, my sympathies lied with him. This only flaw- He was silent pretty much his entire life.
"The world keeps on spinning regardless of what year you’re stuck in.”
And he is still stuck in the years of their adolescence.
He didn't speak then, he doesn't speak now.
Too much stoicism and misplaced honour is self deprecating and is the root cause of their self loathing and negative self confidence . The back and forth was a bit dragged on. Hot and cold attitudes a bit stretched , yet ,I couldn't stop reading the book though.
If I had to sum up the story in a line, I'd say
wrong choices at the wrong time
Be ready to bear the consequences
Lola has one desire in life…
Have a relationship that turns into marriage, bringing on kids and happiness.
The dark cloud has been following Lola for quite some time. Recently breaking up with her ‘boyfriend’ of 5 years, Lola realizes that in order to stop attracting the ‘loser’ boyfriends she has, she needs to make some changes.
Adrian Daire…Successful, Attractive and tells you how it is with no filters. Sounds like the perfect person to help Lola make the changes to become more marketable.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a smooth read that flowed great. The hidden story is there. Until you hear the story from the person involved, never come to conclusions.
