3 STARS
I started this book in March but couldn't connect with it so I stopped. I kept putting off reading it again. I've seen it pop up so many times with rave reviews, and then Pulse was on sale on Amazon, so I bought it and restarted Collide again.
The beginning was very slow for me. Not that I wasn't interested, but it just seems like I would read a really great part, then I would want to skip paragraphs. :( Emily's back & forth between Dillon and Gavin was a bit annoying to me. I am not a big fan of love triangles or cheating and there is a lot of that in this book. (not a spoiler, I like to warn people who might be sensitive to it)
I hated Dillon through most of the book for how he treated Emily. Although when she started talking about how he saw her through her mom's cancer, I softened a little. Just a little!! But then I quickly hated him again! You don't get much back story on him so i feel liked i was missing something with his character.
Gavin definitely interests me!! Tall, dark, hot and successful! What's not to like! I did enjoy the banter between him and Emily. Had me laughing out loud at some points. But then I would hit another cycle of their behavior (for lack of better words) and I would get a little bored.
At some point i was really into the story...didn't want to stop reading but not in a way that i was connected with the characters, but in a soap opera/90210 kinda way LOL!!
I so wanted to fall in love with this book!! I am giving it 3 stars because I enjoyed the story and the banter and the writing is good, but the subject matter wasn't that appealing to me and I didn't connect with the characters and their emotions.
