So I guess I was going into Unattainable expecting to hate her. All we ever saw was her shouting her mouth off and frankly, it was a tad annoying. I have to say the previous encounters we get with Tegen from the first two books, I wasn't overly impressed with her. In Unattainable we get the long awaited story of Tegen and Cage. Her work is truly one the rawest and most realist stories I've come across and it's honestly a pleasure to read anything written by her! Madeline is my favorite author for the above reasons. I for one have to applaud Madeline for that. But no matter how old, how flimsy, how frayed the rope of love is, it keeps you tethered to the people you love" Madeline Sheehan is an author who isn't ashamed to write the dirty, gritty and horrid parts about a love, she isn't afraid to write about people suffering from the wrongs they've came across in life, and she isn't afraid of writing that not everyone's love story is easy but that it takes work, and it's literally blood, sweat and tears. "Love doesn’t erase a broken heart, and it sure doesn’t change people. The author did it again, she has taken broken, damaged, and completely imperfect characters and managed to write a dark and gritty book that you will not be able to put down until the very last page. There is a big sense of family in this book, and although they may not be all blood, they are family where it counts most. What I enjoy most is that in this ugly world there is still beauty and love, and it just highlights the small things we take advantage of. The second story is about Dirty and Ellie which is a love story is one born from tragedy. As much as she wants to deny it, she's never stopped loving him.
No matter what happened between Cage, how much she hates him at times, she has loved him since she was eight years old. Now Cage West is only the asshole who broker her heart. No longer was he the sweet guy always looking our for her, no longer was he her best friend. They started out childhood friends, but when Tegen was sixteen, one night changed everything between them. Cage & Tegen's love story is the main story. It wasn’t quite as intense or extreme as the first two books, but it still had it’s moments! There were two stories in one, the main story is about Cage & Tegen but you also get Dirty and Ellie’s story. These books aren’t for everyone, but I love the raw, gritty world that these bikers live in.
