Unsettled - Alisa Mullen



Lets talk a little bit about this book.
Summery - Its told as a first person book. Of a 22 year old looking for herself, finding a gorgeous group of Irishmen and one in particular sweeps her off of her feet.
Lizzie O'Mally is your typical young woman, once burned by love; and falls in love with Teagan. It's your classic boy meets girl kind of thing.

Genre - New Adult

Rating - I'd force my child to read this if she were old enough. (She's 8)

Sexual Content - It is not graphic in any sense, and that's perfect for this kind of story. The Author treats you like you are an adult and doesn't need to get down and dirty with graphic details.

Language - The language is very liberal in its use. No joke, could put a dirty sailor to shame and that's why its so funny and enjoyable. 

I've heard they say that swearing is a good stress reliever. Alright give it a go! Swear as much as you'd like now and get it out of your system. I'll wait.

So let's delve into it. Seriously, I felt like I was reading/living through someones else's memories; and I have a quite a lot of the bitter sweet kind from the Marines. In fact I think that's why I related so much to the story that Alisa has written.

You can go up and down in life, and but in the end. Its choices; and Lizzie has had to make some hard choices in this book, The kind no one should have to make; but she makes the right choice that is for her.

As for Teagan he's emotionally stable and they both entered into the relationship knowing what they wanted from each other; but he hurt her; and what grates on my nerves is he really doesn't do anything to apologize. Sort of just accepts it and tries to deal with what happens as an adult, with which I can relate. Which is more than I what I can say about some men I have met or have heard about.

When I got near the end of this book. I was wrecked emotionally. I really was. Short of snotting all over myself with tears and wanting to give Teagan a quick but hard swift kick to his baby maker.

This book has some core values, some really hard lessons in life. In the end its all about family and choices. I could wax on and on about my own personal memories and drama, but no one wants to hear that. That's how hard this book hit me. Like a brick to the side of the head while getting sucker punched in my lady bits.

I throughly enjoyed this book, as in I absolutly loved it! and I can't wait for the next one!
