Addicted To Him by Monica Murphy

5.0

Dear Eli,
I just knew you were a cocky jerk from Jake’s story and I wasn’t sure how I would be able to handle your story when you hurt my Jake for so long, but I did take note that if sweet Ava Callihan could find some redeeming qualities in you that I should be able to give you a chance. I am so glad I gave your story a chance because yes you were still that cocky high school kid walking around like big bad A, but you had many layers that you kept close to the vest except Ava got to see the real you. So, I would like to apologize for jumping to conclusions and judging you before I got to see you for who you truly are. Sincerely with love, this reader who is now a fan.

This book was so good as I previously typed out I had my hesitant moments when it came to Eli Bennett because it seemed all he cared about in life was setting out to make Jake Callahan’s life difficult and I even thought he was using Ava to do so, but he showed me that it’s not nice to make preconceived notions about others and what they are going through. Did I completely trust him and forgive him? not 100% yet because he was still a cocky jerk at times. The thing that some tend to forget is in high school a lot of us walked around thinking we couldn’t be stopped and were on top of the world when in reality we struggled with emotions, drama, and how to handle adult situations. Ava at first to me came off as a tad immature and hateful because she did say what was on her mind which wasn’t the problem the problem was how she lashed out at Eli only because he and her brother were rivals, it kind of made me think she was immature but we have all done this in high school too at some point. This does end in a cliffhanger, but I don’t think we have to wait very long for the next one and I can’t wait to see what will happen next.
