Wendy's Review:
Side note: Gage Tucker, you make my panties fall right the fuck off. Dear God! I'm not talking melting to the thighs, no incineration shit. They.Just.Fall Off. My va jay jay gets all wet and drooly.
Let me start by saying that I'm hard to break when it comes to emotional shit. I'm not a crier when it comes to books and only a handful have literally brought me to tears. Beautiful Misery did just that. I was a mess of snot, dripping tears and complete dry heaving sobs before the 50% mark even hit. Cobie's situation broke me! BROKE. ME. And the way that Gage was there. Jesus fuck, I was a mess. My four year old daughter crawled into my lap at one point with an entire roll of toilet paper and said, "Mommy, I'm gonna wipe the uglies away from your face." Yup, it was that bad.
Chandin has a way of developing this story with such depth and emotion that it's hard to break away from the devoted relationship between Cobie and Gage. Their reality is ever changing and a constant flow between happiness and devastation. And when the ultimate sacrifice is made, nothing short of heartbreak and turmoil ensues.
Annie, beautiful and independent. A spitfire woman with a determination to succeed and do right in the life she was dealt. She takes Gage on in a time of need and ends up paying with the most guarded part of herself. Her heart!
The road to healing between Annie and Gage isn't easy, but boy is it fun to watch. The sex is hot! YEAH, HOTTTTT!!! The fights are dirty, and the tears are messy. In the end, I'm glad I pushed myself through after that 49% mark because I'm always secretly hoping for that HEA.
Annie, a very wise woman once told me 'if you fight like your married, talk like best friends, and flirt like loves then you are meant to be. Well, that describes us perfectly. I guess we are meant to be. Life is about finding that one person who is your kind of crazy. You're more than my kind of crazy, you're my happily ever after....
I happily give BEAUTIFUL MISERY 4.5 stars and a recommendation. Also a warning to have a box of tissues on hand and a strong heart.
