Thoughtless (Thoughtless #1) - 88 points



Title: Thoughtless
Series Info: Thoughtless #1
Author: S.C, Stephens
For almost two years now, Kiera's boyfriend, Denny, has been everything she's ever wanted: loving, tender and endlessly devoted to her. When they head off to a new city to start their lives together, Denny at his dream job and Kiera at a top-notch university, everything seems perfect. Then an unforeseen obligation forces the happy couple apart.

Feeling lonely, confused, and in need of comfort, Kiera turns to an unexpected source—a local rock star named Kellan Kyle. At first, he's purely a friend that she can lean on, but as her loneliness grows, so does their relationship. And then one night everything changes...and none of them will ever be the same.

4 HEARTS!

POINT BREAKDOWN

Plot: 38 points

Sooo….I want to give the plot of this book 50 points because I’m a sucker for forbidden love. And I LOVED the way the Kiera and Kellan gradually go closer and closer to each other. HOWEVER…my conscious got the best of me, and really what she did was wrong. And in the long run it made the plot very difficult for me emotionally. One the one hand, I can totally see why and how Kiera got in the situation. I’m sure lots of people have been in that situation before. But on the other hand, both of them made a mistake that really put a damper on the trust between the characters, and that was hard for me to gulp.  The rockstar part pretty much swooned me though! So 38 points. 


Characters: 15 points


I think the characters were very well written, considering the plot. I can’t say I agreed with what the characters did all the time, but like I said, they were well written for the plot! Plus...Kellan was a doll!


Names of characters: 5 points


Everyone had cute names!!! Kiera is a very pretty name, Kellan is very sexy name (perfect for a rockstar), and the rest don’t matter much to me anyways! Denny…well…I think of a chain restaurant when I think of Denny. But since that didn’t distract me from liking the book, 5 points!


Writing/Depth: 30 points


The depth of emotion Stephens put into this book was superb! The conflicting thoughts Kiera was going through felt so real, I almost felt them myself. That shows pretty good writing and depth! Really, I think the book perfectly depicted what a situation like that would be like. Humorous and witty to boot!


(PS: if you like these books, there is a 3rd book called Reckless that I haven't read). 


TOTAL: 88 POINTS
