review 1: This story is about a girl who grows up dating a boy she met in 2nd grade. Later in her teens, she becomes pregnant by him but keeps the pregnancy a secret from him in fears he will resent her.On the surface "Personal Experiences" is about knowing who your soul mate is, it is about love at first sight. On a deeper level it is about denying your true feelings and wrestling with your head and your heart. Every other chapter is a reflection back to the past. At first I was not sure that I liked flipping back and forth between past and present, but as the story progressed, I learned to appreciate the format as it answered my questions.The only warning I have is that this is not a light and fluffy story. There are a lot of hot and steamy scenes that will keep you engaged, but a... moret the same time there is s a dark looming aura to be reckoned.
review 2: By Cindy:Personal Experiences is the story of Elly. It starts out with her happy and so in love with her long time boyfriend TJ. TJ has loved Elly since the second grade. Even told her once that they would be married one day. Well when Elly recieves some unexpected news that she is pregnant she starts making one bad decision after another.She doesn't want to tie TJ down to the town they grew up in. She wants him to have his dreams. So Bear their other long time friend (also since second grade), comes up with a plan to help Elly. He agrees to marry her and raise the baby as his. When Elly agrees my heart broke for TJ. I knew she was making the wrong decision, but I didn't realieze how bad a choice she was making at the time.I have to warn you, Personal Experiences is not for everyone. There is graphic scenes of abuse and rape. Elly is really put through it. Bear is an awful person. The way he treated her, just broke me. Bear is the epitome of evil. Elly endures seventeen years of torture. She is much stronger then she thinks she is. She is made to believe she is nothing. Yet, she is trapped there in that marriage with that awful man because she is scared Bear will run off with her kids. Being a mother and survivor of abuse I totally understand her reasoning for staying. Elly does have a strong support system with her best friends Rachel and Lilly. These girls are awesome I LOVED how they were their for Elly.When Elly and TJ meet up seventeen years later their chemistry is HOT as ever. You can see TJ still really loves Elly so much. Elly believes she is to tainted for him. Oh my how i lOVED TJ, he is such a sweet, caring, sexy man. He wants Elly back and stops at nothing to have her. When he discovers the things she has been hiding it just breaks him. It broke my heart when he finds out about the abuse that Elly has went through. He really took it hard. Then when he finds out that the twins are his, he is PISSED at her for keeping them from him for all these years. He has missed their whole lives.I don't want to give to much of the story away so I'll just say you need to read Personal Experiences NOW!!! Just be prepared it is a gut wretching book. You will cry and be shocked by the violence. I felt a full range of emotions from being angry to happiness. Let me also say that TJ and Elly had some smoking HOT scenes between them. Tracy Lee has given us an AWESOME debut novel. I gave Personal Experiences 5 stars, but would give it more if i could. AWESOME BOOK!!! less
