Book Review 

Thoughtless by S.C. Stephens

 

 

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 unforseen 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.

Spoilers Ahead:

I personally hate stories about cheating, I think it's the most disrespectful and evil act someone can commit. With that being said, I enjoyed this trilogy. Enjoyed isn't the right word for this particular book, because this book ripped my heart out. Although I just wanted to shake Kiera and tell her to pick a guy and stop going between Kellan and Denny, we all make mistakes, Kiera's mistakes are ones I hope to never make in my lifetime. Although a lot of the blame goes to Kiera many of the characters contribute to the mess that is developed throughout the novel. Denny was selfish when he took his promotion and up and left Kiera alone. Kellan needed to be honest with Denny about his feelings for Kiera and he should not have settled for Kiera using him.

This is the first book in the trilogy and it provides the majority of the sorrow and pain out of the three books.The following two books allow the characters to develop and the story to progress. The major thing I liked about this book other than Kellan was that all the characters are real. The readers can connect with the characters emotions, they experience real feelings, and situations people go through during their daily lives. This book provides a roller coaster of emotion, that you hate to love. Overall this is one of my favorite trilogies as a whole, even though this particular book broke my heart.
