The Thing About Love Triangle

Okay. I'm hitting my 'dry season' right now with the novel I've read. I can't find any novel that specifically fulfill the criteria that I want in a book. What I want in a book is a contemporary setting with adult content. A story that involved people that already have their own careers. Preferably, completely finished. I like book that has a series. Fifty Shades (duhh), Hardwired, Fixed On You, Driven, Real, Tangled, This Man, Redhead series, fudge; even Wallbanger has a series now.

          I just love a continuation, you know. First book, you get to know the character. Second book, you get to fall in love further with the character and more character development. Third book, I am ashamed to say this but what I anticipate the most is BABIES!!! Not marriage. Babies. Plural.

         So yeah, hence, reason I love a series.

         But that is not what I originally want to talk about today. Before that, let me explain why I write this post in the first place out of the blue. I will read CROSSFIRE series tonight. Yup, just getting myself ready before plunging my mind into the sea of unknown. I really don't understand why people associate Christian Grey and Gideon Cross so much. I've read Bared To You before, not long after I was done with Fifty Shades series for the first time, and I think it was an OKAY read. I didn't fall in love head over heels with Gideon like I did with Christian Grey. I don't freaking know why. Am I the only one feeling this?

        However that didn't stop me from reading Reflected In You, the second book of the series. In the middle of the book, I dropped it. I can clearly remember the exact scene where I stopped reading them. It was the scene where Gideon was with his ex coming out of a car (??) and acknowledged Eva from afar. I was like, WTF and decided to throw the book away and started with something else. It has been half of year since that happened. I am scared to start reading the book again. Scared that I will hate it and be disappointed.

        Okay. I know you're perhaps wondering what's the connection between Crossfire and my title today. Due to my 'dry season', I tried to read some random books today. I chose, Tear by Rachel Van Dyken. Stupid me.

         It was like reading Thoughtless but with school setting. I am so freaking confused right now and confused me leads to an enraged me. So, yeah.

        What makes me confuse and mad? Take a guess.

        If you guessed LOVE TRIANGLE. You're right! Yayyy!

        I HATE 'LOVE-fucking-TRIANGLE'. You cannot even measure the level of hatred I have with love triangle. Something about it makes me want to rip off my hair. Seriously, guys. I rather open my own vein than reading a book with love triangle. The experience I had with Thoughtless was completely traumatic. I am not kidding.

        I love Kellan. I love Denny. I sorta-like Kiera (though sometimes I WANNA KILL her so much because causing so much pain to Kellan and Denny due to her own indecision!!!). Put all of them together in one book, you get a gigantic clusterfuck. If you want me to be honest, Thoughtless is the one of the best books out there, possibly so much better than Fifty Shades (the book that I am undeniably and unquestionably crazy with, with a capital K) and all the books I've read so far. It pulls out all sorts of emotions out of you. Sometimes, emotions that you didn't even know you have before. (I didn't even know I hate—no, wrong word—loathe love triangle this much before, prior to reading this) but Thoughtless did that to me.

        I was all sorts of tense little energy ball when I was reading it. Happy, aroused (as hell), sad, mad, crazy, conflicted, confuse, scared, distraught, peaceful, giddy, sensitive, manic, and thousands more emotions that I can't dig out from my tiny head at right this minute. Just know that, if I don't hate LOVE TRIANGLE as much as I do now, I would've finished Thoughtless and Effortless and Reckless long, long time ago. You wouldn't even be reading this post right now if I'm done with it.

        So, to those who aren't chicken-out-because-you-can't-face-your-own-emotions kinda girl like me, I would've highly recommended Thoughtless to you. It is such an amazing book that makes you question yourself when you put your feet in Kiera's shoes. It would blow your mind. Though I still would've done things SO MUCH DIFFERENTLY than what she did.

        Urghh, my heart just ached. She's such a sadist, now that I think about it again. Urgghh...

Love Triangle Hater 'Till I Die,

Liely

P.S. There are currently three books that I'm scared to read. Thoughtless, Bared To You and Hopeless. Weird, huh?
