I'll admit that when I love something, I tend to love it into the ground. I am consumed, I am enthralled, I want to make the feeling last forever. Obviously this intensity cannot last, so to stem off becoming burned out or feelings of numbness I "cheated" on the genres I love. I read my old flame, romance. I'd broken up with the romantic genre because on it's own it couldn't fulfill the needs of my black little heart. I needed monsters, the apocalypse, horror, sci-fi, supernatural phenomena, and fantastical worlds and heroes.
But, I am rarely able to love any of them if they are not infused with a heavy dose of romance. So I guess I never really left it behind. This brings me to my prevent defense against having a bad break up with my relationship with my genres. I needed something completely normal, something that could cleanse my palate.
EASY was exactly what I needed.

----------------------
A girl who believes trust can be misplaced, promises are made to be broken, and loyalty is an illusion. A boy who believes truth is relative, lies can mask unbearable pain, and guilt is eternal. Will what they find in each other validate their conclusions, or disprove them all?
When Jacqueline follows her longtime boyfriend to the college of his choice, the last thing she expects is a breakup two months into sophomore year. After two weeks in shock, she wakes up to her new reality: she's single, attending a state university instead of a music conservatory, ignored by her former circle of friends, and failing a class for the first time in her life.
Leaving a party alone, Jacqueline is assaulted by her ex's frat brother. Rescued by a stranger who seems to be in the right place at the right time, she wants nothing more than to forget the attack and that night--but her savior, Lucas, sits on the back row of her econ class, sketching in a notebook and staring at her. Her friends nominate him to be the perfect rebound.
When her attacker turns stalker, Jacqueline has a choice: crumple in defeat or learn to fight back. Lucas remains protective, but he's hiding secrets of his own. Suddenly appearances are everything, and knowing who to trust is anything but easy.
(Mature Young Adult/ New Adult)- This means that this book gets pretty spicy, readers beware;)
