So Much It Hurts

review 1: Three stars. I'm giving them for the first 75% of the book, and the writing and plot line. After that, things just didn't jive for me. We meet Kaitlyn, a married Mother, who is starting a girl's weekend away. A short flash back to her life with her husband, who seems like a total d-bag and doesn't think she has a right to time away. Back in present time, she bumps into Chris, an old flame from high school. So in order to understand the relationship of Chris and Kaitlyn we get a Flashback to her junior and senior year of highschool. A good chunk of the book focuses on this time. We see Kaitlyn in an abusive relationship with another d-bag, Trevor, while everyone turns a blind eye. Enter, knight in shining armor, Chris. The author takes you on this journey, makes you fall fo... morer the brooding bad boy and then we go back to present time. Kaitlyn ends up making what she calls a 'mistake' on her getaway, goes home back home and a few weeks later realizes she is pregnant. Is it Chris' or d-bag hubby Michael's? Kaitlyn eventually fesses up to her husband who is upset and disappears for 3 weeks. This is where I start having problems. Michael, had a problem with Kaitlyn's girl weekend away but it's ok for him to disappear for three weeks? What a hypocrite, whether she cheated or not. Kaitlyn sits and mopes waiting for his return. Where's the anger? I'd be p*ssed. Upon his return Michael forgives her and is willing to love and provide for the child whether it is his or not. The author tries to make this guy into a saint and all I've seen is an a-hole the entire book. It's too wish washy for me. Long story short, Kaitlyn stays with her husband, flash forward 5 years, she bumps into Chris who realizes kid#2 is his. Kaitlyn lives 'HEA' with her husband who she admittedly loves less, and Chris is left in the dust. The end. WTF. That's all I could think. This went from a 4-5 star book to a 2-3 in the span of about 30 pages and I'm still left reeling over what the #$*! just happened to a book that could have been phenomenal.Now I know there is a second book with Chris' HEA, but I don't know if I can stomach it. The first book strings you along, with the hero and heroine saying they will love each other forever. It all just seems wrong.
review 2: This is a pretty good book. There is a lot to deal with in here. Kaitlyn goes on her girl weekend and is feeling very low in life. She is unhappy and feels like she is not connected with her husband anymore. There is a lot of uncertainty in her life and I can see why and how she ended up where she did. I do like that a lot her book is flashback. You get to see her past and it was horrible. I think that a lot people will think there is no way that could happen and why didn't anyone do or say anything but in small towns (maybe bigger towns too...I don't know...I went to school in a small football town) Kaitlyn's life could have been a true story. I mean the way Chris handled things when he realized what was going on was wrong but since he was a kid too I think that he did the best that he could. He tried to take care of and protect Kaitlyn as much as he could. The way this book ended was a little bit crazy and I think I am going to read the next book just to see what happens with Chris.I am giving this book 4 out of 5 stars. I think there are a lot of people that will love this story. less
