Flaw
by Ryan Ringbloom
New Adult Contemporary
What can be said about Josh
Brewster? Nothing good, that's for sure. Just ask anyone. They'll be quick to
tell you. Josh is a selfish, sweet-talking manipulator who will charm you in a
minute, all the while planning his next move. He uses. He leaves. All Josh
desires is things that come easy. Why actually work hard for something when you
don't have to?
When Josh comes to face to
face with a girl who’s doesn’t make anything easy, Josh begins questioning the
game he's played so long. He’s suddenly eager to learn how to work for
something he never imagined wanting. Can a player really change his ways?
Better yet, will his past forgive?
Aidan Turner has had a
rough life, a life that has only become harsher as he's gotten older. The scars
across his face serve as a constant reminder of the haunting nightmares from
his past life. Seeing himself as nothing but a monster, Aidan believes no one
will ever be able to look past his flaws.
His reasoning is about to
change when his very own beauty comes barreling in, sparking emotions he'd
thought he'd never feel. Love sizzles between them, but his friendship with
another girl complicates everything, especially after the nature of their
friendship becomes confused. Will friendship overshadow his true feelings and
ruin both couples’ chances at happiness?
Warning – Mature Content.
This book was absolutely wonderful and a pure
delight to read! The story is about four people who are trying to hide their
flaws – one way or another. The first
part of the book is told from alternating POV’s of Josh and Aidan and the
second part of the book is told from alternating POV’s of Becca and
Jordyn. The characters are realistic and have real
issues – real flaws and I was really able to connect with them.
My first impression of Josh was not a favorable
one. I thought he was a total Class A Jerk and wanted to shake some sense into
that boy. But something amazing happened
while I was reading this story – he grew up and totally redeemed himself! I think Josh and Becca are perfect for one
another!
Aiden was by far my favorite character. Living with a horrible scar on his face, he
had to live a life full of people scared of him and constantly staring. I just wanted to reach in and hug him. Aiden is another character that grew in the
book as well. Overcoming his desire to
stay out of the public, he finally withdrew from his shell and had a purpose –
one he had fun doing. Of course, Jordyn
had a lot to do with that, but that girl had her own set of issues.
Flaw is the first book I have read that was
written by Ryan Ringbloom, and I must say, I am hooked! I love her writing style and her characters. Not
only was Flaw entertaining, it was also thought-provoking. This book is about love, feelings getting
hurt, being judged and heartbreak. It
has all the ingredients needed for a purely amazing book. The old adage, never
judge a book by its cover, is the theme of this story as it should be in life. This is a must read for all and one that I
would highly recommend.
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
