Cal, Parker, and Tim were horrific human beings. I am a sucker for flawed characters, and the cast of characters in Going Under were most definitely flawed. Their “love” for each other came out of left field. Because of this, I didn’t feel an emotional connection to them as a couple. Their mutual attraction for each other was the only thing that drew them to each other. Personally, Ryan and Brooke’s relationship seemed to come out of nowhere. It’s clear that Ryan and Brooke have skeletons in the closet, and they’re sort of each other’s therapy.
Ryan is somewhat of a loner at school, and seems troubled. Could I actually go through with it, though? Could I give up my body as a sacrifice to seek vengeance? Was I strong enough? Crazy enough?”īrooke’s plans are complicated when she begins to date and fall for Ryan Foster, a classmate and a guy she met at Beth’s funeral a/k/a “Funeral Guy”. Seduce him without him knowing, give him the perfect opportunity to take advantage of me, then make him pay for it afterwards. As twisted and convoluted as that idea was, I was interested in how Brooke was going to pull it off. As a way to atone for wronging her friend, Brooke decides to seduce Cal, after which she will turn him and the others in. Brooke soon uncovers a twisted game being played by the school’s swim team, led by Beth’s rapist, Cal. Brooke moves in with her father and starts a new school, which also happens to be Beth’s old school. Following Beth’s suicide, Brooke’s guilt only multiplies. After betraying Beth’s trust by cheating with Beth’s boyfriend, Brooke is consumed with guilt. The book begins with Brooke attending Beth’s funeral. Please note that the author DOES NOT, in any way, glamorize or romanticize rape.īrooke made a promise to her best friend, Beth, to never tell her secret – Beth was raped. This book deals with some heavy subject matter and goes into graphic detail concerning rape. If that’s what you’re looking for you’re not going to find it here. This book is not a light and fluffy romance. Thank you for supporting my blog! Book Review: I appreciate my readers and make it my goal to be upfront and honest.
