Broken Promises: A Trystan Scott Novel by H.M. Ward
Did not finish book.
This book makes me so freaking mad.
Trystan has turned into a self-pitying coward. Boo hoo hoo, he's so famous his life is not his own he has no privacy he's so alone blah blah blah. He broke Mari's heart and cut her out of his life just because he doesn't know how to deal with the press and has some misguided overprotective bullshit about not wanting to drag Mari to it? Wow, why didn't he just talk to Mari so they could make decisions about that together? That was just freaking stupid. For nine long years he disappeared from her life and now that they meet again he's being an asshole instead of doing some groveling. The nerve of this guy.
Now, Mari. Mari is a spineless, prideless, stupid girl. When a man treats you like you are nothing and has no problem cutting you out of his life for a loooong time (again, that's almost ten freaking years!), you do not offer to help him out and pretend that everything is okay. She's so freaking concerned about him, about how he's dealing with his life/fame and how he's gonna deal with Seth's death, that she stayed with him to comfort him. Girl, no. Have a little pride for yourself. He should be the one on his knees begging for your attention. You shouldn't have to say anything or explain yourself in any way.
Gah! I hate these types of main characters.
