    "Our relationship was doomed from the start." -Nessa
  
 


  Spiral,
 is the story of Nessa Cavanaugh and Dr. Aron Lindstrom. On her first day as a psychology intern on an oncology rotation things go pretty bad. She makes a fool out of herself in front of one of the oncology fellows, Dr. Aron Lindstrom... by tripping all over herself and staining his shirt in the process. As if that wasn't bad enough, he's also devastatingly handsome, looks like a Viking, and he has a Swedish accent. *fans self* 


  
    "Do you want to be with me? Slowly, like touching me for the first time, he takes my face in his hands. His thumbs stroke my cheeks while his gaze lingers on my mouth. "Want" is not a strong enough word."
  


In spite of her head telling her heart to ignore the Swedish doctor, Aron Lindstrom, she simply can't stop thinking about him. That's also another thing;rumor has it that he's made his rounds with the women at the hospital, does Nessa really want to get caught up with someone who may only be playing with her? The more time that they spend with another, especially playing those chess games that they love to play, the more that Nessa wants to say yes to everything he's offering. He's wicked smart, dedicated to his job, and seems like just a really nice guy. The whole package. 

Soon, her time with Aron leads her down an emotionally charged roller coaster that has her wondering if she'd be willing to risk it all - for him, for things are not as simple as they seem like she always thought.




  
    "Aron turns his head and stares at me. A tear slides from the corner of his eye and falls to the floor. The moment it hits, I feel it, a sharp, rending pain my chest. My heart, breaking for him. -Nessa
  
 

She constantly scolds herself for the attraction because she needs to focus on her schooling/career now more than ever. Her dissertation is due soon, and she doesn't have time for romantic entanglements, especially when her heart could be broken. Not only does she have her career to worry about, but her mother is also constantly hounding her; looking for changes in her behavior. She has a one in five chance of developing the disorder that caused her father to commit suicide when she was fifteen...bipolar disorder. 


  
    “And when you love someone like I loved your father, you're willing to walk through hell with that person because they're worth it.”
  


I really liked this book! I loved the characters, enjoyed the love story, and cried through some of the unexpected twists. There was one scene in particular that still breaks my heart when I think about it. I thought that when I read this that it was going to be a light, fluffy read, and it's 100% not! It covers some very serious topics that makes this book all the better. I do think that some of the story-lines were cut short though, like with Aron's parents, Sweden, how Aron got his scar, the ending, etc; I also liked the first half better than the second, so that's the reason for the 4 stars, but other than that, I'd say pick this one up!




  
    "Because I was drowning in a fantasy of him, of us together, of love that shook me to my core, and I didn't realize he was already slipping beneath the waves. I didn't reach out soon enough to grab his hand. My secret, dark fear: What If I pushed him under? -Nessa
