Before I decide if I should avoid or read this out of curiosity , let me sum up the things this book has and tell me if I'm wrong: It has angst, steamy hot scenes and a romance to cheat for. Did I get it right or was I too judgmental? Angelie Castro If you're a literary masochist, I think you should start flipping the pages now.

Start your review of Thoughtless Thoughtless, 1. Is it possible to have a hesitant relationship with a love or hate book? Because I think that's where my mind is at. Parts of this book were enjoyable for me, while many others were "I want to choke a bitch right now" moments.
Thoughtless has been compared to Beautiful Disaster, and I can see where the comparisons are coming from. Both books are high on the back-and-forth drama.
Both books have a male lead who is a lady- killer, able to bag any woman he wants, and often does. Both books feature Is it possible to have a hesitant relationship with a love or hate book?
Both books feature a female lead in college, and have a roommates falling-for-each-other scenario. This review sort of has mild spoilers, but I say to read it anyway because I'm not going to divulge anything major or reveal the outcome. I just want to bitch about Kiera's insensitivity.
Go on this bitch-fest with me, please. I need to rant to you strangers out in the Goodreads universe. The couple in Thoughtless was a 1 step forward, 15 steps back, type of deal.
If you thought Travis and Abby were stubborn, you'll find Kiera to be stubborn, clueless, and ridiculous to the extreme. This woman has two incredible guys willing to do whatever she wants, and instead of picking one to settle down with, she strings them both along selfishly, deciding that she can take her time to make a decision and pick one person to be with.
After all, cheating is the cool thing to do, right? If Kiera had figured out her shit earlier in the game, I would have enthusiastically given this book at least 3 stars.
The cheating didn't bother me to start. People make mistakes. We're all human. That said, this girl should have put on her big girl pants and figured out what to do after it happened once, twice, etc. She ran out of excuses pretty early on, and I never warmed up to her because of it. Will I read the next book in the series? I do love me some drama, after all.
I wish it had been nipped in the bud earlier on, but a little bit of drama is always fun, up to a point. Here's hoping the next book won't frustrate me as much. Who knows? You may find that Kiera doesn't grate on you the way she did with me. I actually liked both Kellan and Denny and didn't have problems with Kellan the way some others did.
He was pretty upfront about who he was. Was he a bit too much of stereotypical caveman-type male? But hey, I like my guilty pleasure men. Sue me. On a completely unrelated note - part of me really wants to rename this book to Chuckles and the Blushing Crybaby.
If you read this book, you'll understand why. It did actually have one extremely funny scene one of the only scenes to ever make me actually laugh out loud. I did end up liking where book 2 went, so my thoughts are not all negative. View all comments. I hate Keira. I want to punch her. Strangle her. Ram her head through a wall and then make her eat a porcupine.
Kick her in the head so hard her skull shatters. Now I don't normally like to write negative reviews but this piece of shit deserves to be cut up and burned and I will express my anger at wasting my time and money on this book through this I hate Keira. Now I don't normally like to write negative reviews but this piece of shit deserves to be cut up and burned and I will express my anger at wasting my time and money on this book through this review. First off, the stupid bitch blushed WAY to much.
Whenever someone bothered to be fucking nice to the stupid girl she blushed and acted as if they had just proposed to her or something. Pull you shit together you pathetic excuse for a human being. Yes sir, we have another stupid slut on our hands who can't stop eye fucking her boy friends bestie.
I HATE girls like her. At the start of the book she goes on about how perfect her and her boyfriend are and then as soon as she sets her eyes on Kellen she acts as if her boyfriend doesn't fucking exist. I'm going to be honest and tell you I didn't finish this book, in fact I stopped reading it almost half way through, because I already knew exactly how it would end.
The stupid bitch would get her damn fucking happy ending and I'd be left pissed off and annoyed at wasting my time on this shit. This book was a waste of time and money and I really wish I had bought it in a hard copy just so I could express my hatred for it by burning it. Keira should just go die in a bloody fucking hole and that sequel never should have happened.
I want Keira to be murdered in the most gruesome way possible because she, like this whole book, is a piece of shit. Rant over. Oh, my. This the single most outrageous book I have ever read in my life.
Haters of Twilight, 50 Shades, Beautiful Disaster This is the epitome of everything that is rotten, unhealthy This book takes the concept of Too Stupid To Live to a whole new level. Loathe doesn't even cover it. I wanted to murder the book. Kier Oh. Kiera is the most idiotic, selfish, undeserving, lying bitch in the whole world. Actually: Kiera, the only thing you deserve is to die, really.
I cringed so many times. I would think, "no, she is not possibly going to say or do thaaaat" It wasn't a pages? Then it only draaaagged and dragged. But I was good: I skimmed right through the end! The fact that there's a sequel to this, after all the pain and heartache and plain bad writing, and the fact that Kiera is, in fact, still alive, terrifies me to no end. Kellan, rock god, run away while you can!!! I don't wish this book on my worst enemy.
View all 53 comments. Why I was hesitant to read this book: 1. It has view spoiler [cheating hide spoiler ] in it 2. It wasn't because of the view spoiler [cheating hide spoiler ] 2. It wasn't because of the angst I haven't gotten that far 3.
It was the characters. Absolutely all of them. First you have to know that this book has the most idiotic heroine ever to be written. I pray to God I'll never ever pick up a book with a similar heroine. Never ever. Just to show you her thought process. Example: A five year old sees a lollipop.
A lollipop. I want one. Eats the lollipop. The end. Kiera sees a lollipop. It looks yummy. I want to eat it. But no, I have an ice-cream. I can't eat the lollipop.
Mmmm I love my ice-cream. But mmm that lollipop sure does look delicious. Maybe I can just have a little taste. It won't hurt anyone if I just try and see how it is. But no I am a bad person for wanting to try the lollipop. I will never try the lollipop ever again in my life. Oh my dear ice-cream, how I love you.
But why do I keep thinking about the lollipop? I am too stupid to figure it out by myself, so I guess I'm gonna have to give it another lick cause I just can't help myself. I am such a bad person, I am hurting both the lollipop and the ice-cream but I am so indecisive I know I will never be able to pick one. Oh ice-cream I love you, you'll never know about my secret desires to try something else.
But while licking the ice-cream, I still keep thinking about the tasty lollipop. Why oh why is this happening to me! I must go and lick the lollipop some more because I can't help it! I don't know what to doooooooo!!!! Sorry but bad boys don't view spoiler [beg the idiotic female for a chance to innocently flirt with her while she's still with her boyfriend, and being fine with the fact that she sleeps with him and all. Little diversity could've been nice. Just sayin'. Anyway, Thanks Rach and Shelly for reading this with me, and sorry I didn't like it I wouldn't do that to them.

Warning: Rant Incoming This pretty much sums up the relationship between me and other readers of this book: I just don't get the love for this book. Reason being, the freakin' annoying and stupid characters. I have never, I repeat never, been so annoyed with a character in all my life like I was with Kiera. Hate is such a strong word, but yeah, I hate her. She is a selfish, cheating bitch. Yeah, that's right, I said it. Bitch wants to have her cake and eat it, too.
She shouldn't be able to Warning: Rant Incoming This pretty much sums up the relationship between me and other readers of this book: I just don't get the love for this book. She shouldn't be able to have it that way but she gets it. See, even LaLa agrees with me. Gahhhh, what I wouldn't give to smack the shit out of her. And let's not forget the guys in this story. Denny, the ever faithful and blissfully unawares boyfriend: And Kellan, the douchebag musician: I'm not sure what the hell was going on with those guys.
Can someone please tell me her appeal? The ending had me all WTF. Kellan waits around for her even though she still couldn't make her mind up between the two of them.
Of course, that is up until the very end, when the choice was made for her. Seriously, the bitch should have ended up alone at the end. This shit just does not happen. What am I saying? That asshat of a couple deserve each other. And you mean to tell me that her story continues on in further books? Hmmm, shall I continue on to find out what happens to our lovely heroine?

I will offer one piece of advise for those planning on reading this, before I spoiler tag this review: If you don't like cheating in your romance Put the book down and follow Captain Jack Major Spoilers ahead, you have been warned.
So this is for anyone who wanted to know. I really don't have the words to express my, er Denny was I will offer one piece of advise for those planning on reading this, before I spoiler tag this review: If you don't like cheating in your romance Denny was alright, weren't you baby Yeah bitch, he's someone elses now!!!
Poor Denny - not the brightest fella to leave his girlfriend with an obscenely gorgeous man-whore, who has no morals. Kiera and Denny. She might portray her little miss innocent act and defend it fiercely but she is a selfish heartless I have no patience for deceitful heroines who harp on with useless justifications, because you know what?
And Kellan Kyle Mister oh so freaking perfect is actually a spineless twit, who needed a lesson in morals! He just made me gag with his scores of revenge fucks and poor me I'm so lonely speech! I hated this story, I hated the cheating and I hated the ending!
Yes I hated it! I wanted Kiera to end up alone after tripping over and falling into a vat of acid! I do not care what happens to these two, and wished I could have got my money back! Over all this book was just This review represents my personal opinion and has no reflection on the author's talent or lack of. This is a minority opinion review and should be taken as such.
If you are planning on attacking me because I don't like your favorite book View all 20 comments. Just finished reading Thoughtless and for everyone who said this would be a roller coaster ride— you were not kidding!
The story took a little bit for me to get into; the writing was extremely at times, overly descriptive, more so at the start of book, and I initially found it quite distracting. However, once I got into reading—I was hooked! Thoughtless is mainly focused on an intense love triangle and all the passion, jealousy, lies, and betrayal that come along with it.
There was a lot o Wow! There was a lot of back and forth between the characters' feelings and decisions--I swear, it gave me emotional whiplash! The characters were so raw and real that I felt every ounce of happiness and heartache right along with them. Kiera did anger me with her thoughtlessness and indecisiveness, but I TRIED to empathize with her and eventually came around to almost liking her.
I also feel that just because I don't admire the behavior of character s , doesn't mean I have to like the book any less. What I absolutely loved most about this book was how passionately detailed all of the intense scenes were And so I became to love the author for her extreme descriptions!
My stomach suffered knots and sunk through their heartache, and delighted with butterflies through their passion! I had to reread certain scenes because they were that intense. The love scenes were tasteful and so incredibly hot, and I appreciated that combo! All-in-all, it was a great—sometimes stressful—but well worth it read! Back and forth connection.
Frustrating as hell heroine. Intense love triangle. Paints a vivid picture. I know he'd choose me over Kiera. I know he would. It's true, don't make that face at me. Stephen's disturbs me. Should I be in love with her, or Kellan? What rock star did she study to write this character? Can I get a piece of him? Can I lick him? Creating a realistic character is not easy. So many books are filled with stiff dialogue and cardboard characters.
Not in this book. The character's were flawed, annoying, sexy and real to damn life. With that said Kellaaaaaaan With that said Sorry, sorry. Okay, one more time Good stories are supposed to torment you. They are supposed to make you frustrated. The entire time I was reading this, I felt like someone was stuffing me full of tapioca.
I just kept feeling more and more sick with every page. I cannot believe they did that with Denny in the next room! I kind of want a piece of Griffin.
View all 27 comments. I tend to have a unofficial kinship with indie authors, but sadly I alwasy do my best to provide an honest review. This book sucked! Oh my god! I didn't even want to waste my time and energy searching for gifs to express how disgusted I am with this book.
What the fuck??? I try my best to be nonviolent but if I saw her I would knee her in her vagina! The way she dragged her boyfriend through the mud, whining and complaining while he tried to freakin work at a career MEANWHILE she's fucking his best friend and their her and her boyfriend's roommate.
I hate cheaters! I've cheated in my lifetime, in high school and once during my early twenties. I am possibly one of the worst cheaters in the world because I can't sit there and lie. I tend to cheat and break up immediatly the next day, explaining that "dude, I'm a dick.
I cheated. Additionally, I just hate the idea of sneaking around. I'm grown. So for me the constant cheating was just disgusting and disrespectful. I couldn't root for them. For me she didn't deserve happiness. I know you are thinking, "Hey Kenya. She could have changed.
He blushed. They blushed. The dog blushed. The blushed blushed. The book dragged so much. We get it. They like each other. They cheat. They treat each other badly. They like each oher. Thye cheat. In fact when I read it, I raced into my daughter's bedroom and questioned her, "Lily! Did you write this? This writing style is so similiar to yours as if you just learned English. I didn' write that, mommy. View all 86 comments. Rare epic. Major mind fuck. Addicting, spell binding, compelling.
New girl Kiera is torn between loyal boyfriend Denny and sexy, local rock star Kellan Kyle. It's easily one of the best books I've ever read if not the best. The author amazed me from page one and I couldn't for the life of me put this down.
It was freaking perfection and the emotional turment A complete and utter mindfuck. That what this is. It was pure angst for the better part of the book, and no matter how heart ripping it was, I ate up every second of it. Around my lips, he kept telling me I didn't. It was a emotional rollercoaster all the way and it left me Completely. I never really had the same problem with Kiera that most other people seemed to have had.
She was young and stupid and ended up hurting two amazing men. But I did understand her difficulty. She made some really, really stupid choices but I never hated her. No one would be able to overlook him—he was drop-dead gorgeous. He had intense eyes that were busy scanning the crowd of adoring women clustered around the front of the stage. His light, sandy-brown hair was a thick, wild mess. It's very long and extremely describable. I loved that.
It really allowed us to feel like we were there and to feel everything. All the pain, desire, despair, hurt, hopelessness and lust.
We get tangled up in a word with lies and betrayel which makes our head spin. I know you want more. Tell me No one can resist the sexy rock star. He has a new girl in his bed every night. He is born to stand on the stage and his word revals around his music and steamy hookups. But what no one know is his heartbreaking past. And that he uses sex to cope with it. But when he meets Kiera everything changes and for the first time he feels like he is worth more.
You can't help but fall for the tortured rock star. It was nearly instant. First sight, the rain scene, the espresso stand, the hospital, the righ, the tattoo.. Not sure if that's a good or a bad sign As I said, I never really hated Kiera.
For me she was a young, immature and naive girl who made some stupid choices that in the end made her hurt two amazing men. She always knew in her heart who she wanted to be with, but was to afraid to follow her instinct and instead chooce familiarity and comfort.
So if you don't like books that fucks with your mind maybe you should stay clear of this one. I absolutely loved it. I adore books where the characters goes through hell before they get their happy. And years later of first reading Thoughtless' I still devour it. But my first and last time to meet Kellan is forever gone and that makes me incredibly sad.
I can still remember the first time I "saw" him on stage, it was absolutely magical! The ending was absolutely heartbreaking and emotional.
Young and inexperienced, and Kellan is hotter than all fuck Alibi - 30 Seconds to Mars how I imagine him singing at the end of Thoughtless What I wouldn't give for a good video clip of this My tummy is all butterfly-ish all over again, and I haven't even re-read the first page yet!
Oh my I know some people had problems with this book Heartbreaking, raw, painful to read at times I loved the complexity and often hated that I loved it. I was so not comfortable with the behavior of the Kiera and felt just plumb awful for Denny and fell in love with Kellan.
I just finished it and have a huge bittersweet ache in my heart and a lump in my throat. Oh my, oh my, oh my View all 56 comments. Let me start by saying that I don't want to offend the author or any reader who greatly enjoyed the book, but I feel the need to share my utter disappointment and disgust after reading it. Love triangles. Although so common in life, they still hold a great potential in regards to writing a story about one.
Unfortunately, this is not the case with Thoughtless. It's probably because the author didn't want to waste her time exploring the subject, when all she could do is write about pretty girls, ho Let me start by saying that I don't want to offend the author or any reader who greatly enjoyed the book, but I feel the need to share my utter disappointment and disgust after reading it.
But nooooo, the author simply decided to create a perfect moron for her lead female character and I'm putting this very mildly , put her in a love triangle situation, that is not even that complicated to begin with, and turn her into an armed madman on the loose.
So, since going deeper into this would probably bring up some spoilers to this already rotten story, I would simply say that I'm disgusted by the way the author handles and presents such situations to an intended audience of young adults. I mean, come on, lady, we should not teach young women that it's ok to do what Kiera does, should we now why is it that the word slut keeps flashing into my mind?
And one more thing: Thoughtless made me cry myself to sleep. Wanna know why? Because at some point trees have been killed for this book to be printed View all 10 comments. I have a reputation for being something of a literary masochist. These incidents were horrific enough, but what made it worse was the way in which they were so casually shoved aside, justified and dealt with by the characters, with almost no understanding of the real world or how basic human nature works.
Kiera, supposedly over 21 yet possessing the emotional maturity of a seven year old, moves to Washington to be with her Australian boyfriend Denny, who she is completely devoted to despite not really having anything in common with him. I know many readers are automatically opposed to cheating characterised as romantic in such stories, but I hold no such prejudices. If it is handled maturely and imbued with the complex emotional and societal implications such situations involve, then it can make for an interesting story.
Many great stories throughout history have included extra-marital affairs. Kiera and Kellan are incredibly unlikeable and immature characters, and spending over pages with them is exhausting. You could write their motivations on the back of a postcard and still have enough room to write a few sonnets. Kiera is shallow, insensitive, cruel, selfish and incredibly stupid. I knew nothing about her or her interests, other than her boyfriend and her lover.
Denny, the adoring cardboard cut-out boyfriend, is entirely forgettable. His defining characteristics seem to be his devotion to Kiera and his Australian accent, which the author mentions almost every time he talks.
We were hardly likely to forget. No character calls him out on this disgusting act, or enquires as to whether or not it was consensual. Everybody around us was completely wasted, so I ducked under the table and shoved that skirt as high as it would go. While not fan-fiction, which makes a change in this genre, the book did originally start life on FictionPress. The plotting is stretched out beyond belief to fill out aimless chapters that were clearly intended to be read on a serialised basis.
The relationship between Kiera and Kellan is stretched out repeatedly, with both making idiotic decisions so the story can go on another 50 pages.
I had no idea why they were supposedly so in love, or why I was supposed to sympathise with them or feel any real angst in her decision. However, such a story would require a skilled authorial hand, one which is entirely absent here. Now, we move onto the big glaring problem here. Such terms are thrown around to hurt women for being sexual in any way. The fact that Kiera forgave him for calling her a whore made me so angry. Kellan drags Kiera into a car and begins to undress her, despite her repeatedly saying no.
What happens is rape. She does not give her consent to Kellan. She is very vocally saying no. Later on, she cries and apologises to Kellan, saying she led him on. This is wrong on every level.
In real life, women are raped, and in the shockingly low number of cases were the charge actually makes it to court, it is common for the defence to shame the woman. The scene is hastily explained through some tears where Kellan apologises but Kiera tosses this aside claiming she is equally to blame for what happened, and then they continue as normal.
Once the affair is finally revealed, Denny goes from being the gormless nice boy to a full on rage machine, and practically tears Kellan to pieces. She is hospitalised and almost dies. She forgives Denny. She is almost killed by a man she is supposed to be able to trust. This massive and entirely gratuitous event serves no greater purpose to the plot other than to drag out the ending for even longer. The event is barely discussed. The author used domestic violence for dramatic angst purposes.
This is not okay. There is no subtlety to this story, or anything even vaguely resembling real tension. What we have here is a violent, confused and damaging mess disguised poorly as romantic drama. What we have here is the inevitable conclusion of a genre that has continued to romanticise and justify the most horrifically misogynist examples of rape culture for the sake of chasing trends and making money. I can say, without a hint of hyperbole, that this is the most loathsome and despicable thing I have ever read.
