Suddenly Forbidden

I'm not one of those people that believes a trigger warning should be issued if a book contains cheating, but I also don't seek those types of books out either. I went into this book with my eyes wide open, I knew it contained cheating before I started but, I was intrigued by the synopsis enough that I wanted to give it a try. Plus, one of my trusted book people has been shouting about it, so I knew she wouldn't steer me wrong. And, sheesh. All. The. Feels. Ella Fields, yet another author that has been hidden from me. What the heck, guys? Why? I'm totally blown away by what I've just read. I do not remember the last book that had me this invested in the characters and what would happen next. I swore.... a lot. I wanted to throw my kindle on several occasions, I chuckled, and I shed a few tears. Ella is a queen! Her writing just draws you in and keeps hold of you. Making you feel things you don't want to, making you think things you never thought you would, and making you question everything you thought you believed. I'm still in awe and I can't stop thing about the book, I can't move on to anything else. Ella has broken me. In the best way possible. I know I'll be spending time with these characters again.

These character, Gah! I had so many different emotions throughout this book when it came to the characters. I adored Daisy and Pippa. At times I wanted to smack Quinn in the face BUT, he did win me over in the end. I was unsure about Callum, but it didn't take long before he found a place in my heart. Alexis? I don't remember the last time I disliked a character as much as I disliked her, in fact, I might even go as fast as to say I hated her. I'm pretty sure I was supposed to feel sorry for her, but I just couldn't. The things she did, the way she acted. No! I really hope there are plans for books for Callum and Pippa, they both need to have their stories told.

The connection between Daisy and Quinn was beautiful and you could feel it, it jumps out from the pages and hits you. The chapters that showed how they were when they were younger really added to this story, it gave them depth and allowed us as readers to connect to them individually and see their growth as people. Seeing them through the years and their connection, it really makes what happens gut-wrenching and heart-breaking. I felt everything. I'm still feeling everything. These are not perfect characters, they make mistakes, but they own them. They're not intentionally malicious, they're young and finding their way. The epilogue, man, it is just perfect, everything you could hope and wish for as you read this story. This is a second chance romance that will have you reading well into the night and reminding you why you love to read, especially the romance genre.
