           Let me get this straight. 

I could only finish halfway of the novel, but I loved how it was written and how true it was to the character. 

I do get why Kiera did it but only to the getting drunk and doing the mistake point. I can imagine myself doing exactly what she did but after that mistake, it was too much for me. I can kind of understand her and at the same time I couldn't. It made me so frustrated and sorry for them all... Yes, even Kiera. She was a victim until she turned into.. something else I can't explain. 

The story was great, it broke my heart too many times than I'm comfortable with and I love that but yeah, it's just not for me. She's too stubborn and possessive (??) and it doesn't sit well with me. I'll read the authors' other books though. I really like the way she wrote her novel and maybe, I can find something that's for me to just enjoy and cry on.

Could not stand Kiera. She was indecisive and selfish and wanted her cake and to eat it too. I can't remember the last time I read a book and disliked the main character as much as Kiera. It made it difficult to finish reading. 
Kellan was the only reason I kept going. I wanted him to have a happily ever after. He was just so sweet and tortured and it hurt me to see Kellan hurt when she kept going back to Denny.

This book was something….something else. Oh man.
 I don’t know if I wanted to praise it, burn it, stop reading it, or speed right through it.
 I couldn’t even count the different emotions I felt reading this, even though the most prominent one was the desire to slap or punch both the main characters across the face. Regardless, this book was still FANTASTIC, just a roller-coaster of emotions that just knocks you right off your feet. If I was to associate one word with this book it would be PASSION.
 
Let me start off by warning you that this story is a LOVE TRIANGLE. The first I’ve ever read. I actually hated it as much as I thought I would. The idea of a love triangle I mean. Kiera and Denny are the perfect couple, they’ve gone through it all, and now they’re moving to Seattle to start another chapter in their lives together. Kiera moving to a new school, and Denny starting a new job. In Seattle they meet their new roommate, one of Denny’s old friend’s, and local rock star Kellan Kyle. He and Kiera have this instant attraction that neither of them can understand. Not too long after settling in Denny has to go away to chase a job opportunity, which leaves plenty of room for the relationship between Kiera and Kellan to bloom.
 
Now it was obvious Kiera and Denny weren’t going to be together, otherwise there would be no book right? But I still really felt bad for Denny, he didn’t deserve being cheated on. He is a GENUINELY GOOD GUY. And no I don’t think it’s true that good guys finish last, even though yes I find Kellan EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE and SEXY.
 
He has his own place. He’s in a band. He sings.
 Perfect hair. Perfect eyes. Perfect smile. Perfect body.
 It’s no wonder he’s the most popular piece of MAN CANDY in all of Seattle.
 
And no he’s not a bad guy for choosing to be with his friend’s girl. He has respect for himself and for their relationship too! But..you know you can’t help who you like.
 
The emotions I felt in this book were just way too intense and real. I DID NOT approve of the decisions Kiera and Kellan made, pretty much throughout the entire story. In my mind I was screaming “WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?” To me there is just so much wrong with cheating on your boyfriend/girlfriend. I am 100% AGAINST CHEATING. I get that Kiera’s heart was in the right place, not wanting to hurt Denny and all, but she seemed a bit selfish….okay maybe extremely selfish.
 
But at the same time I have to admit the passion, the heat, the fire, between Kiera and Kellan is like…FOR REALZ haha. You know those two are meant to be. The constant struggle between the two, the strain on their relationship. I swear Kellan is bipolar cause the way he treats Kiera is just insane! MAKE UP YOUR MIND. I guess it’s scary to think that someone who sleeps around a lot could have morals, or could love someone with such audacity. Which makes me wonder why it’s a series…. I would have been perfectly content with this being a one-shot. I think it would have been better, but the fans wanted more Kiera and Kellan. So why not give it to them.The story is phenomenal, the writing is just excellent! Other than the fact I really did want to just slap Kiera and Kellan 99% of the time, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. I can’t even understand what Effortless and Reckless are about but I hope it’s not going to make me want to slap some people…

I loved Kellan, but I found Kiera annoying at a lot of times. This book was wayyy too long. When I saw that it was a trilogy, I was shocked because I thought there was no way this story could continue. So much of the book could have been cut out honestly and Kiera cried more than anyone I've ever met. Like every other page she had "tears streaming down her cheeks". Honestly. Denny seemed sweet or whatever,but it was obvious from the beginning she would never choose him. Who ever actually chooses the nice guy they've been with for years? Even with all my frustrations, Kellan made it all worth it in the end.

Great book, it got annoying at some parts. Kiera is also such a cry baby. But overall I liked the book.

I can honestly say that thoughtless is by far one of my favorite reads. Kellan breaks my heart and heals it again, if you can't have him in real life you might as well live in his story. I have mixed feelings on Kiera, but I can't blame her for her insecurities, but she is a little over the top sometimes. Kellan is my #1 book boyfriend. Definitely one you'll never forget

           I liked this book but Keira really got on my nerves with the whole not being able to pick. I get it's about her cheating and loving both of them and one being the reckless option and the other her safety net but when you know you know. He made her choose and she only picked Denny because she had already told Kellan she picked him and was scared because of all the unknowns and hurting Denny and really just being selfish if I was quite honest. I have a sister that I swear could fit Keira to a T. It might of been that she reminds me of my sister (she grates on my nerves the same way) or the fact I just hate it when a girl is that whiny, noncommittal to her first choice, and not confident but I just really couldn't get into it.

I had one major problem with this book and it was Keira - and I guess that's a pretty major part. Throughout the entire book she cries at the drop of a hat (literally every three pages she is balling about something). How does someone function through life like that? I also felt like I had a very hard time connecting with her, I mostly felt terrible for the two guys that she was leading on through 3/4 of the book. Make a decision woman! You cant have it both ways and in the end I felt that it detracted from her character she didn't seem torn and confused she seemed selfish and petulant. You cant have your cake and eat it too and then also eats some one elses cake...

Maria Eugenia Espinal

What a rollercoaster ride! I generally enjoyed the story but omg I wanted to kill Keira 80% of the time. I think the book dragged on for more than it should have while repeating the same events over and over again. Nevertheless, it was a fun read.

I think I would have liked this book if it wasn't for Kiera.. Hell, this girl drove me crazy! Both boys were just so amazing and she just totally hurt them.. Usually a protagonist-narrator is supposed to make the reader identify with the protagonist. Here I just wanted to slap Kiera and was glad when I finished the novel, because she couldn't hurt anyone anymore..

couldn't finish it, maybe I'll pick it up sometime later

2 I Don't Get It Stars!

This is going to shock probably 99 percent of the people who read this book, but I didn't like this book at all! I was pretty much miserable reading it the entire time. It was entertaining, yes, but I hated the characters. Let me elaborate...


  Kiera
- I couldn't stand her. I'm sorry, I know she tried to be this blushing virgin, but I thought she was a slut. Having sex with both guys while one or the other was in the house? That's disgusting to me. She lead everyone along, and was a needy spoiled brat. I hated her. How can you like a book where you hate the main character? For me, since I didn't like her, I couldn't enjoy the book.


  Kellan
- He was better, I'll give him that. I did like him more. However, you just don't sleep with your best friends girl. I could see the first time when they were both drunk, but when he tried to seduce her while his best friend was in the same room literally? Ew. I hope to never have friends like that. It was wrong. He also was a whore. That was disgusting with her sister Anna. Even if Kellan didn't sleep with Anna, he still flirted and grinded with her. He was obviously aroused by her. That's her sister, and it's gross. Yes, he said he wouldn't sleep with her, but why encourage her at all? He could have slept with any woman he wanted, why flirt with her? Ugh. I hated all the women, threesomes, flirting, etc he did. Even when he was interested in her, he was sleeping around, flirting, etc. I know that she had a boyfriend but it was just gross, and not a convincing way to win someone over, I mean he slept around with married women, he just wasn't a very nice guy no matter his past. 


  Denny
- He was my favorite character. He was very loving, caring, understanding, faithful, and sweet. He truly loved Kiera. He did everything for her, and when it came down to it, he quit the best job he could ever find to come be with her. Yes, he shouldn't have taken it in the first place, but I think he figured that they would be together forever, they would never cheat on each other so the time apart wouldn't matter to them cause they'd still have visits and holidays. He only made one mistake the whole book while Kiera and Kellan were constantly screwing each other over. When they went out he only had eyes for her, while Kellan was always flirting with everyone. Kiera treated Denny horribly. She would take her anger out on him and he'd still be loyal and say he loved her. He didn't get any sex from her and he still didn't cheat cause he loved her so much. I felt bad for this Aussie the whole book. Poor Denny...


  Friends
-Did anybody really have any friends in this book? All the relationships seemed really shallow to me. Idk..

I thought the story-line was bad as well. For example, on her first day there forgetting to bring her shampoo and clothes in the bathroom? Who does that? If you get up in the morning and think, "I'm gonna take a shower," then why wouldn't you grab your stuff? The only reason they had her forget was so they could have that sexy first encounter, and I didn't like that at all. 

I could go on and on, but I'm just gonna sum it up to being a disappointment. I can see why others would like it, but for me it just didn't do it for me. Think I'm gonna skip the rest of the series, just not interested in what happens.

Lacey

I just... couldn't. I really really really wanted to like this, but I couldn't. I absolutely could. not. stand Kiera. And that just affected everything about this book. It takes a lot for me to NOT like a book at all, but this... I well and truly hated it. This book was definitely not for me!
