When you're lost, sometimes the only place you can go is home.
Broken over the death of her fiancé, Molly leaves law school to return to her childhood home in North Carolina. Expecting to lay low until she can figure out what else to do with her life, she finds herself in the arms of her high school sweetheart, the boy who represents everything from the past she tried to leave behind.
Looking for an escape, she instead finds a way back to the girl she almost forgot existed and a future she never dreamed possible.
Derailed: Verb- Cause (a train or trolley car) to leave its tracks accidentally
The title for Derailed is beyond perfect. I have never been
one to give recognition to a title for a book mainly because I feel a lot of
times there isn’t much thought put into them, but this title just sits with the
book so perfectly and I love it.
Moving onto what’s important.
It’s odd to think contemporary use to be my least favorite
genre, and now it is all I ever feel like reading. At first when hearing about
Derailed I figured it would be like a lot of the other New Adult contemporary romances
that have been coming out lately…I figured I would enjoy it, but really didn’t
expect much from it. I expected a predictable storyline, a sappy romance, and
whiny characters.
Thankfully that was not the case with Derailed at all. Derailed
was a great New Adult contemporary romance, that kept my attention from start
to finish. Had an enjoyable cast of
characters, and a memorable romance.
Molly our main character was great, I felt so sorry for her
with everything she was going through. I felt all her emotions she had, and the
way she reacted to things was very justifiable. Never once in this entire book
did I find myself getting annoyed with her or rolling my eyes, which is always
nice. I felt like she was a very real character right from the start.
Ben who is our main love interest I also very much liked,
although I didn’t really buy the whole “he still has feelings for his high
school sweet heart 5 years after she dumped him” thing, he was still an
enjoyable character, I love how passionate he was about Molly and protective,
without being creepy protective. He was
also very persistent with getting Molly back once she got back in town, which I
just , well thought was cute, even if I didn’t really believe his 5 years of
missing her.
Overall I recommend Derailed to anyone who likes
contemporary romances, new adult novels, or enjoys reading novels of someone
overcoming the struggles of losing a loved one. Derailed was not a light cutesy
read, it was emotional, and raw. I found myself laughing and smiling during
this book, but I also found myself feeling sadness too while reading this. It
had a mixture of all emotions and I loved it, and I hope you love it too!
