This book was a little uneven but still very compelling. There were things I didn’t like about the h/h characterizations – the depiction of his mental illness felt superficial, as did the treatment of her past as a child star and betrayal by her mother. But they came alive as characters nonetheless, and that counts for a lot with me. He’s Come Undone was reviewed by Jayne here - my grade was an A-.

I knew the moment I read the blurb for this book, I wanted to read it. I also had a feeling I'd love it and I was right. Right from the get go I liked Ellie. She's cool and collected and knows she's in a bad place but is not willing to ask for help. I knew Ellie was going to fall for Julian, so there were no surprises there. What did surprise me was Julian. Let me just say he was and wasn't your typical bad boy. I can't say more without giving part of the story away, so you're just going to have to trust me on that.

I was also surprised by how engrossed I was in the story. I read it in one sitting and oh the feelings I got. There were moments of dread in the pit of my stomach, wide grins, soft laughter, and even some mental swooning. I was expecting to enjoy the book, because lets face it, I love the blurb, I've read some of Theresa's books before, but I was surprised at how quickly I finished the book. I've also read and enjoyed some books written by her as Anne Stuart. Her style is unique and surprisingly fresh in both voices.

Hopefully, Theresa will write a sequel, follow up novella, or something featuring Ellie and Julian. I'm not ready to have their story end here. I do feel like their issues can be further threshed and I'm willing to put up with a little unnecessary drama to have more of them. Once again Theresa Weir has written an exceptional story and I look forward to her next book, as I always do.

I received this free eARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This was a quick read - flew through it and enjoyed Ellie and Julian's story. I really liked that the author wrote in both characters viewpoints so we were able to see what both Ellie and Julian were thinking.

I felt for Julian. He went through a terrible experience back in New Hampshire and still wasn't himself when he was "using" the girls. In most cases, I would say it's because he's a guy and doesn't think like a girl, but he really was going through a hard time and really should have been helped more. And what he went through? Gah, that must have been terrible.

Ellie's mum is a prick taking all of her money that she earned. And poor Ellie is just trying to get back to college so she can start her life with the job that she wants. I do think that getting a new hair style and clothes does not make a person more attractive. In fact, it demeans the person doing it because it's not really them - not in the way Ellie changed herself that is.

And Julian noticed the original Ellie and was intrigued by her much faster than the "new and improved" Ellie, so that's something to think about...

I enjoyed this story. I liked the running bit that Julian was determined to succeed, only because I love running. I don't like the way Julian ran his marathon because he could have died, but I could comprehend how he was feeling when he described what running was like. Glad I got an eARC, even though this review isn't "advanced" anymore... I think loads of other readers will enjoy this story!
