Book Reviews of Torn (Triple Crown Publications Presents)
Book Review: Torn? I don't think so!
Summary: 3 Stars
I could read this novel fifty five and a half times and I will still never understand how Mo was so torn about Quan. Their horrible relationship didn't seem so confusing, it was as clear as a beautiful sunny California day that they should run in opposite directions. This novel is way too long and overflowed with a surplus of redundant unnecessary scenarios. I could see how the length and nonessential circumstances could be entertaining if the reader is torn and confused right along with the characters but I wasn't. Don't get me wrong, this book is good but it is a tedious read. Readers have to endure 265 pages of solely arguing, cheating, and beating. Mo and Quan constantly fight, hurt each other, break up, and then run back to each other. I wanted to scream "Leave him already!!!", and throw the book across the room. I've seen women who are torn, I've been torn but with Mo that wasn't torn, that was just stupid, low self esteem, and sad to say, the yearning and wanting to be hurt. Mo has every reason to leave and not one reason to stay. She has somewhere else to go, has a college degree, has money, and they have no living children together. She has no motivation to be torn, it seems she is just used to being treated badly and loves him more than she loves herself so she chooses to stay in an unhealthy space. In serious cases like these, women need to be taught what real love is, how it shouldn't feel and reminded of what women really deserve, and of their self worth. Soon comes a young man named Boss and that is exactly what he wants to teach and remind her. She is currently engaged to Quan and busy being "torn" so she doesn't give Boss a chance. Eventually after page 265 of course, she begins a friendship with Boss and this is when this novel takes a much needed and anticipated turn. Boss' character is the unexpected star of the show. I'm sure every reader couldn't help but fall in love with him and want the best for him. Sadly, before long Mo runs him away. She is so damaged from her relationship with Quan that she doesn't know how to love and receive love properly. She is too busy not trusting him and punishing him from Quan's mistakes. Around this point is where the book gets even better.
This novel is the epitome of an emotional roller coaster. It is already hard to read about a young girl getting beat and getting her heart broken by the person she loves most in the world but to read about her continually losing babies is simply heart wrenching. She blames the death of her daughter on Quan because he was out cheating when she needed him to take her to the emergency room. On top of that, he has a baby on the side with Sherry which only pours salt on the wound yet, that isn't even enough to get her to wake up and smell the coffee and finally leave him for good. Extremely sad.
Summary of Torn (Triple Crown Publications Presents)
Her female intuition told her he was a dog but yet and still she lent him her soul, gave him her heart and allowed herself to fall in love. Torn between infatuation, lust, denial and playing wifey, the only thing Mo knows for sure is that she's been through hell, survived nine years, three miscarriages, numerous flings, heated arguments and a few knock-down drag-out fights only to realize she is further deep in love and more confused than ever. Come join National Best Selling Author Keisha Ervin as she spins a classic tale about loving someone so much you lose yourself, only to find in the end that what you thought was real love was just a game.Action & Adventure Books
