"It’s about us! It’s about me expecting things from you that I shouldn’t. It’s about me wanting romance, and dates, and intimacy that stems from more than humping and orgasms, and me wanting to tell our friends that the mystery guy I’m seeing who can turn me on with a single look or touch is you. And most of all, it’s about being angry with myself for falling for a man who told me very plainly not to fall for him! That’s what it’s about! And now it’s too late, and I feel like the stupidest person on the planet, because you’re never going to give me what I need, and I should have known better than to expect you to.”

Told in heroine view alternating past to present

The scene in the rain blew my heart out of my chest. It was so painful and sad. I felt so disappointed with Ethan. My chest was crying for Cassie to wake up and be done with him. But I also felt what she's seen in him, hope. But that little hope comes with misery that can’t be avoided any longer.

In great twist of fate, the hurt inflicted by the hero to the heroine in the past, was the same intensity inflicted by heroine to the hero in the present. Ths role reversal with exactly the same issues they had before happened again. It was brilliant, believable and so damn real. The emotions are all over the place.

The story started out with ths hero having deeply rooted abandonment, commitment and emotional issues. The issues so deep that I can’t even begin to think how the will heroine survive it. True enough she hadn't and then the vitriol inflicted on her affected her so much so that she also suffered the same issues eventually.

I can’t help but hate the hero for doing that to her. I loved Cassie. I loved her character, she's resilient and always giving and giving without expecting anything in return. Her only fault is that she allowed Ethan to take her for granted. She allowed him to step on her and crush her heart. Ethan is selfish and coward and the ultimate douchebag. Though just as I started hating on him, he does something so romantic that I just melt. And so I felt really frustrated with the back and forth of Ethan and Cassie. The sexual tension was so up the charts!

I just recently found out that there will be a sequel to this story titled Broken Juliet. I'm assuming that it will be the continuation as the ending is a bit of a cliffhanger. It seems like it ended in a good way but I still wanted more! I seriously can’t wait for it.
