Flawed had everything I look for in a book...

Angst, Emotions, Romance, Suspense, and Heartbreak.



I cannot say enough good things... As emotional as it was, in some twisted way the story was beautiful. Yeah there were ugly parts and taboo scenes, but those made me connect to the characters and feel every emotion they were feeling. I quickly became addicted to the story and couldn't stop reading.



Sarah was kind, compassionate, and strong. The things she goes through are enough to make a person go insane, but somehow she holds it together. No matter what her feelings are towards Sam, her brother is in the back of her mind because he is controlling and possessive. Her father is a*whole*nother story... He is a d*ck. Excuse my language, but the things he does to Sarah are sickening! You will see if you read...



*Here is your warning* The ending is a WOW! I won't say if it's good or bad, but let me just say I have a HUGE Book Hangover from it!



All in all this book was one I will remember forever. It quickly jumped to the top of my all time favorites list. I recommend it to everyone!… (más)

I thought it would be like Forbidden, a book that I really liked, but this one was a lot more disturbing actually. Sarah and James are the children of an ex-boxer who has become a violent, drunken loser while their mother is slowly killing herself with painkillers. They depend on each other way more than siblings should. Both of them suffer abuse at the hands of their father, and James has become the protector of Sarah, often taking the beatings for her as the older sibling. He’s trying to protect her so much that he becomes obsessed with her. He makes her promise to never leave him. As appealing as that was at age 9, not so much at 17. And now he won't let her have friends or a job, let alone a boyfriend. But Sarah and Sam fall secretly in love and she realizes that she never expected to have her own life until now. Caught between love and loyalty, Sarah tries to make it through the last summer as a minor to escape her horrible situation but will it be with James or with Sam. It had a very surprising ending for me. It’s a raw and tragic book.… (más)
