Hope Frost's Reviews > Beautiful Burn

This one was a bit hard for me to finish, not because of the writing, because that was superb, but the content. Addiction is hard and that was completely shown in this book. At first, I was super pissed that the author kept putting Ellie in these positions, and having her "friends" enable her. I was like, how the heck is she going to get any better, is she going to get any better? She better get better. But then I saw the hardship and the hurt that it was causing, not only herself but the ones that love her. And I "got" it.

I loved the relationship with Tyler and how he loved her for who she was and tried to "love her through it". I also loved how the relationship with Sally transformed. I am still a little unsure of Paige and her roll, it seemed she just melted away and there wasn't any conclusion to that.

I do admit, I didn't read the first 3 in this series, and didn't realize it was a series until I was in to the book a bit. BUT, good news is there are 3 more books I get to read. :)
