I've spent the last few months unable to really get stuck into anything. There have been several books that I've attempted to start, but I've not even made a dent in them before essentially giving up on them. And that's all down to this book. The Pairing RUINED me for all other books, months before it was even out.
I've cried 3 times - make that 4 times, I'm listening to the last 15 minutes of the audiobook as I write this review - today. I have whiplash with the journey my emotions have been on today. One second I'm getting all hot and bothered as Kit and Theo are going after their next conquest, and the next I'm crying my eyes out after one of them says something that completely breaks me.
Honestly, I knew CMQ would break me with this book, but I didn't quite expect it to break me this much. RWRB will always hold a special place in my heart, but The Pairing might just have to take that top spot.
