Ohh, BB. I am at loss for words right now. I love reading your words and getting glimpses of your life. You know what else I love, or who rather... Knight! I know, I know this was Harley's book, but I didn't like him or the re-invented version of him in this book. Nope. And seriously, Angel...come on! And again, Knight! I just want to hold him and love him forever. I know this book was about Harley James, BB's second boyfriend-badass-tattooed-charming man. BUT, I couldn't separate Harley James from SPEED and the big dumb bafoon in 44 Chapters. I know it was BB's 68% ish truth. But deep down, I still knew he was a big, beautiful, dummy. And then can we talk about Knight, again. I thought I fell hard for him in Skin, but then he comes back with all of his pain/pleasure/passion angst, emotions, protection and is once again BB's Knight-in-scuffed-up-combat-boots. I seriously don't know how you escaped him because I'm not so sure that I will ever fully be able to let go of BBandKnight.
I feel like I'm just rambling. So, I'm going to try to do better, starting now.
My review:
BB Easton writes with a witty flair to her life's story. I honestly want to move to the suburbs in Georgia and force her to be my best friend. Mostly, just so she can ramble on about her life and I can just absorb it all. That would be a dream!
The book begins with our very sad, heartbroken BB on her 16th birthday that only becomes sweet when she breaks down with her mom on the bathroom floor (Clutches my chest, the feels!) and this was just the beginning! We very soon meet Harley James, the sexy, charming, muscle car driving bad boy/man that makes BB smile and laugh again. Thank you, Harley, for small favors!
Throughout BB and Harley's relationship, we feel the laughter and silliness mixed in with irrational behaviors with more chemicals than a pharmacy has... Then comes the man that loves BB and wants to protect her from himself and the ugliness of life. You can just feel the love jumping off the pages. Torn between fun and reckless and heavy-crazy-love, BB can't walk away from. But she doesn't too because Knight continues to walk away from BB believing it's best for her.
My heart hurts! I have so many questions! I need answers! I don't know if Star will be able to pull me onto another man's side but for now I'm 2/2 #TEAMKNIGHT
I love you, BB. Keep up your one-handed-drinking/snacking/typing and feed my addiction!
