Product Information

An innocent love story that is so wrong but you want it to be right. A story that draws you in and you will end up hating or loving it. Maya. Please, Don't Leave Me: Lochan and Maya to each other. Lochan when Maya goes on a date with Nico DiMarco and he imagines she'll stop paying attention to the family because she can do better. Maya, when she thinks about Lochan going away to university and leaving her to manage the kids by herself. Neither of them voice it initially, because they want the other to be happy. I applaud that the author used such dark themes, dysfunctional family, incest, alcoholism, depression, suicide and so forth. I may read this book in the near future, because I like the way the author didn’t shy away from anything. I know people find some of the extreme elements disturbing, but we are dealing with extremes here. Suicide is going to be disturbing, and so is incest to some people. HURT (out Sept 2013) - At seventeen, Matheo Walsh is Britain's most promising diving champion. He is wealthy, popular - and there's Lola, the girlfriend of his dreams. But then there was that weekend. A weekend he cannot bring himself to remember. All he knows is that what happened has changed him. Mathéo is faced with the most devastating choice of his life. Keep his secret, and put those closest to him in terrible danger. Or confess, and lose Lola for ever . . .

Kolegyňa si potom knihu naveľa prečítala a bola z tej témy zhrozená, no nedokázala pochopiť, čo ma na tej knihe fascinuje, prečo som ňou doslova a dopísmena posadnutý, čo ma na nej priťahuje. Nuž… neviem to ani ja sám. Vo Forbiddene sa rozpísala Tabitha Suzuma o inceste, o ktorom sa už mnoho popísalo. Okrem toho sa Tabitha rozhodla pre mužského a babského rozprávača a asi to malo vplyv na to, prečo budú mať baby bližší vzťah k predchádzajúcej knihe. Hurt má len jedného rozprávača. Mathéa, ktorému sa prihodilo niečo strašné a odporné. I tak však nedokážem pomenovať dôvody, prečo sa mi Hurt páčil viac ako Forbidden, viac ako 99 % kníh, ktoré som v poslednej dobe čítal. Môj výtlačok je konečne na ceste ku mne a ja sa už teším na rereading. Po ňom budem možno o kúsok múdrejší. Sedemnásťročný Mathéo je presne taký chalan, akým som ja nikdy nebol. Pekný, úspešný, športovo založený, má peknú frajerku a ešte aj prachy. Kniha sa začína ránom po… A od prvej stránky chceme zistiť len jediné: čo sa Mathéovi stalo. Nič iné nás nezaujíma. A tak sa vyberáme na cestu, ktorá k tomu viedla. Spoznávame Mathéovu každodennosť, jeho spolužiakov, frajerku, rodičov i brata. Mathéo športuje – skáče do vody. Mathéo je vo výbere na účasť na olympijských hrách. Mathéo je proste top v tom, čo robí a tak rodičia – hlavne otec – dbajú na to, aby všetko dodržiaval, aby na tom vrchole aj ostal. Mathéovi sa však niečo stalo a on si na to nespomína a tak nám to ani nemôže povedať. Snaží sa však prísť na to, čo to bolo. Čo ho ťaží na duši. Čo sa prihodilo a aj prečo. The suicide was depicted in a realistic way – it was just devastating to read because I, as the reader, was in Lochan’s tortured mind, and I knew he was going to do it (I was semi-spoiled; I knew the book had a tragic ending), but I just kept hoping that the rope would break or that he’d be maybe brain-damaged but not actually dead…it was just very disturbing. Hormone-Addled Teenager: Maya's friend Francie. As a plot device, she is always happy to bring up the topic of dating. However, it wasn't for long, because I found this book to be too wordy, I felt like certain parts were put in the story, just to make book longer, because I couldn't see any point of them. Often I felt myself get so angry at Mathéo and Lola that I just wanted to stop reading entirely. By the time I got to the 70%, I already wanted for story to end, so I can finally found out what happened in that weekend. In the end I was so bored and tired that I didn't even feel sad when Lola committed suicide.

There are two scenes I enjoyed, the first one was when Lochan saved enough money, by doing other people's homework, to give Maya a Christmas gift. It was the first Christmas gift Maya received in years and the scene was touching. They were outside of the school yard being the bleachers where no one can see them. It was a very intimate and loving moment for those two, and made me wish that the scene will never end. My other favorite part was when Lochan gets sent to the police after the charge of raping Maya (he doesn't) and the reason they found out was because Kit told their mother and the police. The look on Kit's face when he understands that he will never see his brother again and destroyed their family dynamic and running to the police car saying that he is sorry and Lochan forgives him. That brings tears all the time. Of course, there isn't anything wrong with this, but most british authors seem to do the same and it would be really cool to read about a teenager/young adult of slightly different experience. (Obviously, Flynn is both) Promotion to Parent: Lochan and Maya are the de facto father and mother of the household. The two of them raising their siblings and dealing with their neglectful mother is given just as much focus than their romance, especially at the beginning. with Willa at one point directly asking whether they are actually her real parents, since they are always there and their blood mother isn't. Kit's behaviour is largely because he struggles to deal with his older brother having to take on the role of authoritative parent, rather than the Big Brother Mentor his friends seem to have.

If you are sensitive to Taboo relationships or things that aren’t widely accepted, this book isn’t for you. Lochan nods slowly [...]. "Unless there was some really strong evidence to the contrary - an admission of guilt on your part, witnesses or something - then, yes." Their mother frequently does this when she's had a few drinks, with Lochan being the primary target. She has told him so many times that the only reason she married his father was because she accidentally got pregnant with him, that Lochan barely registers it anymore. at the end of the day that’s what we’re all trying to do: fit in, one way or another, desperately trying to pretend we’re all the same.”It gives you a new view on things you would never have thought of. The characters, all of them, were just so real and that made it so much worse, that it was clear that this kind of thing happens. I agree with commentator “Mo” on the suicide element. Romeo & Juliet killed themselves too in the name of love. I’m confused as to why you were disturbed though, was it because reading such an act is distressing (obviously) or did the author write in an unbelievable way? I am intrigued. John: I thought about the VC Andrews books (specifically, the first series) a lot, even though they are obviously very different. I read her probably starting in fifth or sixth grade, though I gave her up after the first couple of series because the themes just got too repetitive and the wretchedness of the writing got to be too much to take. (My mom also read them and she used to make fun of the heroines’ constant references to their own “tiny fists”– as in, “I ground the tears from my eyes with my tiny fists.”) I loved this book. I loved getting to know Mattie and seeing the contrast between his world that was and the one he was currently living in since the incident. I loved the relationship with his girlfriend Lola and seeing how that develops as the book goes on. I also loved seeing how clinical the one with his parents had become which him being used almost as a sign of their status and being paraded out in front of others with no real thought for what Mattie was feeling. Also the scenes with Mattie and his younger brother have to be the most heartfelt and gorgeous scenes I have ever read between two brothers. The story of the Whitelys: a Big, Screwed-Up Family, with a Disappeared Dad, a neglectful, alcoholic mum, and five children. With their parents almost completely out of the picture, the eldest two children— Lochan (17) and Maya (16)—have been Promoted to Parents for their three younger siblings:
