Derailed by Alyssa Rose Ivy

5.0

I received Derailed as part of the blog tour hosted by AToMR Tours in return for a honest review. Molly is in the first semester of Law school but she doesn't have the heart for it like she though she did so she decides it's time to quit. She decides to leave school and head for her child hood home which her mother still has even if she doesn't plan on living in it. Molly's life over the last few years has been anything but easy. She still feels guilty for the death of her father when she was a teenager. She had a huge fight over money for college and the next thing she knows her father dies on train tracks. When she needs him most her boyfriend Ben isn't there for her pushing her to end their relationship and head off to Boston.

In Boston Molly meets a young college guy they start dating but her heart isn't into it they even get engaged she postpones the wedding because she's not sure how she feels. However before she can figure out what she wants her fiance commits suicide by jumping off a bridge. Since that day she's lived with the guilt of her father's death and now the death of her Fiance. She returns home vowing to stay far away from her old boyfriend Ben but when he shows up the old spark is there but she's not ready for anything more. At her insistence she pushes for their relationship to be just hook up's because she doesn't want to hurt him. Her nights are plagued with nightmares of her father and Fiance which is causing her to drink to numb herself. Can Molly deal with her nightmares so she can have a chance at happy ever after or will she run again.

I really Loved Derailed!!! Like super loved it. Poor Molly I totally connected with her on a whole different level because we share the loss of a parent as teens and our last words weren't the best choices either. However I learned to accept and move on and I really liked seeing her deal with the loss, even though deep down I think she always knew it wasn't her fault. I think every girl deserves a Ben he's such a great character he may be a little over protective but who can blame him when he doesn't want to lose her again. I loved how smooth the flow of the book is, I lost track of time reading while my little one was asleep. The book is well written that anyone teen or adult will enjoy reading it. This is my first book by Alyssa Rose Ivy but I'm a instant fan and look forward to checking out her other books. I cheated and check out the next book in the series Veer and I can't wait to get my hands on it, since it involves character from the first book. Plus I love a happy ever after and this one had me in tears it was just perfect.
