4.5 Smooches!
Synopsis
I love him, from the instant I set eyes on him when I was just 11 years old I have loved him and nothing will ever change that, he owns me, he owns my heart and he owns my body and no matter how many lies are told, no matter how many people conspire to keep us apart, despite the fame and the distance, we will find a way.
“Georgia Rae, when we made love you used to cry” … He waits for me to sing my bit. I try to swallow down a sob but I just end up singing through it…
“I said I love you like the stars above, I’ll love you till I die”
Carnage is an edgy coming of age love story that breaks all the rules and transcends the decades. Georgia and Sean’s story will stay with you long after you read the final word.
An emotional, smoking hot, gut wrenching read.
This is part #1 of a 2 part story but can be read as a stand alone.
Review
Carnage has been popping up in my newsfeed on Facebook left and right lately, so I felt compelled to see what all the fuss was about. Upon taking a peek on Goodreads, I found the cover, meh, so so, but it had really good reviews so I decided to give it a try. I am really glad that I did.
I want to start off by saying that I wasn’t a fan of the writing style right away. I felt like there were too many comma’s where periods needed to be and almost stopped reading only a few pages in. If you find you feel this way, please just keep reading because there is a beautiful, gritty, and real story laying ahead that you do not want to miss.
Georgia meets Sean at the tender age of 11 and instantly knows that she wants him for forever. They are soul mates and Carnage is their story. Carnage is exactly how I would describe it, too. I cannot even tell you how emotionally affected I was by this story. Cheating, lies, love, lust. It was all there and my emotions were all over the place. I cried my eyes out one moment, and the next I was laughing. One minute I would be ready to throw my kindle, the next swooning. I was a damn hot mess throughout their whole ordeal. And, the ending! Oh, the ending! Why, Lesley, why did you do that to me?! I was beyond crushed and so very pissed off at you.
So, I think what I am trying to say, is that I loved this story. I hated it. I loved it again. And then I self medicated with wine and chocolate. I guess the way the book was written wasn’t a big deal after all for me, because I literally could not put this book down. I felt so much when reading it and isn’t that the ultimate sign of an amazing read?
