Wes stops himself and Kiersten from becoming anything more than friends because of his heartbreaking secret, he does everything he can to make Kiersten as happy as possible. She stars making new friends, with Lisa and Gabe especially, who are amazing friends! They’re hilarious but so supportive. She begins living again, and I found it so beautiful how much she learns, through Wes, how valuable life truly is. With the help of Wes, Kiersten finally breaks out of her shell. As I learned more about him read how he acted so sweet with Kiersten, I fell for him little by little as well. I wasn’t too into Wes at first–he’s got a reputation as a ladies man and he kept thinking of himself of being someone who wasn’t good enough for Kiersten, someone who would ruin her, but he grew on me. He’s gorgeous, kind, rich, funny, but he’s hiding a devastating secret. But everything changes for her the second she runs into–literally–Wes Michels. Add the fact that she’s a new freshman in college, Kiersten is a very anxious girl. She’s shy and hesitant all the time, and I sympathized with her. Kiersten has been living as a shadow of herself ever since her parents died.
We torture ourselves in order to feel better–that’s what I was doing. How stupid, right? But the human condition is stupid. I always felt like I had to suffer because they did. It was the first time someone had given me permission to do exactly that. Ruin is so much more than about love–it’s about living, too. So the whole “it’s not you, it’s me” thing? It’s totally me. But I’d still recommend it for everyone to try! Because even though I didn’t love Ruin (I just really really liked it), I could still appreciate the writing and the deep, emotional, moving parts to the book. I enjoyed everything–the concept, the characters, the romance–but I guess something was just off for me. OH!! This was one of those weird books that was pretty freaking great, but I didn’t end up loving, you know? I should have loved it. Because after one kiss, one touch, I couldn’t–I wouldn’t ever be the same.Īnd from that moment on, his heartbeat became my own. Wes thought he could save me, but in giving me everything, he ruined me. Sometimes when you think it’s the end, it’s only the beginning. He promised me all he was able to offer–each moment as it came–but it would never be enough. I didn’t know that time wasn’t my ally - that every second that ticked past was one step closer to the end of something that was beginning to mean the end of myself. I was content in the darkness…until Wes Michels offered to be my light. I’ve been running away from the memories that haunt me for so long that depression has become my only comfort.
