Thoughtless by S.C. Stephens

Synopsis

For almost two years now, Kiera's boyfriend, Denny, has been everything she's ever wanted: loving, tender and endlessly devoted to her. When they head off to a new city to start their lives together, Denny at his dream job and Kiera at a top-notch university, everything seems perfect. Then an unforeseen obligation forces the happy couple apart.

Feeling lonely, confused, and in need of comfort, Kiera turns to an unexpected source—a local rock star named Kellan Kyle. At first, he's purely a friend that she can lean on, but as her loneliness grows, so does their relationship. And then one night everything changes...and none of them will ever be the same. 

Review

 Finally I found it! After searching for so long for a book that will have a lasting effect on me and will make me feel the same after reading it over and over again, finally *sigh*....I fount it! 

THOUGHTLESS - The book that  was able to break my heart, twist and turn my emotions, freeze my brain and fall in love with a fictitious character again all at the same time!  Though I found it late I still feel grateful since the second and third book were already out. I don't have to mope around waiting for another year to come for the following books to be released. Huh being late comes handy at times*wink*.

To S.C. Stephens wow you're a genius! For a writer to be able to keep me up all day all night for one whole week then you must be someone really brilliant. I commend her for that and would have to give her infinite stars for her great work.  I can't believe her debut novel would be really something big someday. I wish I have her smarts to do the same someday *sigh*. 

I fell in love with this book, the story, and the characters. So far it's the only book I read twice and able to make me feel the same as the first time I read it. I felt the same love, joy and grief. It never failed to make my stomach upside down and it never failed to make me cry AGAIN! Crying twice for the same book is a big deal for me. I never have done that before and I never thought I am going to since I already knew what was going to happen. At first I was caught off guard by the intense scenes but the second time that I felt the same, that's the time I knew that this book have my heart. It was burned inside me and really touched me emotionally.

The story is realistic and somehow the characters seems to be real. Kiera, the girl who doesn't have it all perfect, she's smart and beautiful  but she was described by her sister Anna as "book smart and not street smart". She's good with books but not with people, she doesn't even make good decisions especially when it comes to love. She allowed herself to be totally consumed with love and make her world revolve around her boyfriend. She acts as if she's not a fully functioning human if Denny's not around. When life throws  her challenges and that involves Denny being away from her she breaks apart and make mistakes.  Mistakes that cannot be simply covered with a simple lies. Mistakes that are so big that she has to make choices or else she will lose it all. I got angry with her a lot of times up to the point that I want to stop reading because I was so upset with her decisions yet I find myself continue reading it. I don't know I just don't have the power to stop and not finish the story. 

Denny, uh he's sweet, loving and caring boyfriend to Kiera. Maybe he's everything a girl would want but he and Kiera are a lot alike. He also let himself be consumed by a certain aspect of his life - his career. He bring Kiera with him thousand miles away from her family yet he chose his job. Sad. But I can't blame him every person has his own priorities and for him it's his job. 

Kellan the rockstar who caught my heart and for sure the heart of every girl who read this book. He's totally a chick magnet, he stands out from the crowd because of his jaw dropping looks. Girls love to throw themselves at him. He can have them anyway he wants and anytime he wants but only one girl would change that habit of him, Kiera.  Unfortunate for him the only woman he ever loved was with someone else, worse that person who has her heart was his bestfriend, Denny.

Their big fat messy love triangle is killing me but I learned things from reading this book. One you cannot cover a lie with another lie, two, you cannot correct a mistake with another mistake and three  if you want everything to workout then NEVER LIE. 

"No time spent with you is wasted."

This quote from Kiera is how exactly I feel for this book.
