Reseña Completa: El Extraño Gato del Cuento

Creo que si tuviera que definir Broken Juliet en una sola palabra sería "Inesperado". Mi mente estaba preparada completamente para otra cosa en el libro, algo más egoísta y común que pudiera encontrar en otro libro. Cada vez que un libro me vende la idea sobre unos personajes que se amaron en el pasado y ahora se odian pero por cosas de la vida ahora por una absurda razón quieren volver a intentarlo, la relación es siempre un error desde el inicio y las soluciones que nos dan a acabar el libro tienden a ser bastante superficiales. Eso esperaba de Broken Juliet pero no pasó.

Lo mencioné en la reseña del primer libro, lo recalco ahora: Ethan Holt es uno de los pocos personajes masculinos que he leído hasta ahora en New Adult que tiene personalidad, Leisa Rayven se la ingenió para traernos un tipo oscuro y sexy pero a la vez alguien consciente de la realidad y no tan egoísta y estúpido como estaba esperando. Hay muchas escenas en Broken Juliet que hacen a Ethan alejarse del estereotipo y a la vez conservar ese aire bad boy que me encanta. ¿Lo que más me gustó de Ethan? No solo fue lo guapo que es o que sabe cocinar, sino que cuando el tipo se molesta ¿sabes que hace? LIMPIA. Seeh, este libro subió mis estándares de "no existe" a "tienes que estar bromeando, gato, eso es un unicornio".

Oh, Cassie. La adoro. Algo que le resentiré a Ethan, a pesar de gustarme mucho, es como cambió Cassie "gracias" a él, tanto lo bueno como lo malo.

Broken Juliet me hizo reconsiderar mucho algo en lo que creía. Cuando sabía o veía en películas/series parejas que iban a terapia para salvar su matrimonio, siempre pensé que era la cosa más absurda que podían hacer, para mí era solo una excusa para evitar reconocer que no funcionó. Luego de terminar de leer, la verdad es que me quedé pensando mucho si, quizá, no es tanta terquedad la razón por las que los matrimonios van a terapia de parejas. No, Ethan y Cassie no van a terapia de parejas, no exactamente es solo que me dejó pensando.

Los últimos capítulos son pura tortura, es una bomba de tiempo a punto de explotar, una caja de Pandora de emociones, no sabes que saldrá. ¿Lo odiaré? ¿Lo podré perdonar? ¿Y si fue una cosa muy estúpida? Eso lo descubrirás cuando termines de leer Broken Juliet.

Por las cinco estrellas, puedes ver que Broken Juliet me encantó, mi único pero es que un capítulo se ponen un poco demasiado cursis para mi gusto, soy alérgica a ese tipo de emociones. Broken Juliet es igual de divertida que Bad Romeo, muy sexy, una de esas pocas veces en quisiera una película porque hay algunas escenas tan graciosas que necesito verlas en una película. En serio: la llamada y uno de los viajes en auto, demasiado, me tuvo llorando de risa.

I simply could not put down this book! It was intense, romantic and had such a great pacing to it! I loved the focus on the relationship and how it promoted healthy relationships and communication in those relationships. I really thought I would get bored and feel like the story was dragged out considering this is a sequel in a second chance romance. SO NOT THE CASE!

Leisa Rayven has done a superb job writing this novel! If this book had been written with the past in one whole book and the present in the sequel, this series would have lost me. But because we get these two stories simultaneously, it just hooks you in! You root for these characters, you want to slap these characters and you fall in love with this characters. I was just as engrossed in their present story as I was their past and that is what gives makes it a 5 star read for me!

I'm soooooooooooooooooo stoked for the new book in the series, [b:Wicked Heart|24889218|Wicked Heart (Starcrossed, #3)|Leisa Rayven|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1446729164s/24889218.jpg|44537638]! I thought this series was going to be a duology (which it is in terms for Ethan and Cassie's story) but I can't wait to read Elissa's story! Gah!

Actual Rating: 5/5 ( )

This was a 4 star listen for me except for the excessive drinking, it dragged it down to -three. The first half + of the story she was drinking, grabbing a drink, wanting a drink, being drunk, sick drunk... ARGUGH ! I understand she was messed up in the head/heart but it consumed the pages to the point I was getting a contact high. I would have liked to hear about it less and more about her time with Tristan or even more wallowing, anything.

Sadly what I got out the the first 5-65% was just "Forget this thinking I'm getting drunk" Boring !!

They had a ton of damage to repair, scar tissue to remove and trust to build. This all happened in the last 1/4 of the book which was fabulous. I loved the choices they made, they were intelligent, respectful and not buried in alcohol. The relationship, and the characters finally became more. The ending was not a shock but I was shocked at how they got there. The maturity level jumped.
Can you tell I'm not fond of the drink till drunk solution to life in my entertainment ? It doesn't work and it to glorified by authors/media/social circles far too many times. I have a personal issue with this common acceptance alcohol abuse. Two times I've been nearly killed by drunk drivers and 4 times so far I've lost friends to alcohol stupidity. Yeh I am riding my high horse, perhaps but this is my opinion. ( )

I won this book in a giveaway on goodreads. It is the first book I have won so far. I was really excited that I got an advanced reading copy, but I did not get to read it until a few days ago. The giveaway was from St. Martin's press and it was free through Goodreads First reads. I really liked this book. I know a lot of other people said that this is twilight fan fiction or something to start off with, but I don't care about that. I have never read a book really about people who are aspiring actors and I am really interested in those types of stories. I know there are probably a ton, but this book, like the first one, just felt really new like something that hasn't been done or written already. I know it is kind of based on Romeo and Juliet in a way too, yet at the same time it is its own story. I really liked these two books and I think it was good how it ended. I also thought it was cool how she kept switching back and forth between present and past while also putting in Ethan's journal so you saw his perspective too. Overall, I am so happy I won this book and thought it was really well written! Also, Ethan is amazing! ( )
