METHOD
by KATE STEWART
Hollywood is a temptress, a trickster, a soul-stealing devil. I married an A-list player, knowing I come second place to his craft. But Lucas and I are a golden couple, a modern-day fairy tale.
I’ve never doubted what we built...until the sudden death of Lucas’s best friend has scandal rocking the Hills and shaking the foundation of our relationship.
I chose Lucas as my safe haven...he chose the role of a lifetime.
For the next three months, I’ll share my nights with a stranger, watching as he buries his pain, immersed in his role and living as someone else.
We’ve done this before. I tell myself it’s just another movie, and he’ll return to me.
I should’ve known this time would be different.
To get my husband back, I’ll need the strength of ten men.
As it turns out, I’ll have to go through two.
"You still think you can get the girl, Hollywood?"
"I'll never stop trying."
What. Did I. Just. Read. <-- Really not even a question. Seriously, wide eyes from the minute I opened the book! I love love love when I can open a book and get completely engrossed in the words that are inspiring not only a mystery, but also a deep and suspenseful love that is unmatched. Lucas and Mila had a love that surpassed any logic I could have ever come up with. But that's the definition of their true love. Their truth. One, that by the time I closed the book with a smile upon my face, it made me exhale and smile. To think a love that battered and that torn can rise above it all and come out better on the other side. Absolutely amazing.
I love BIG books. Not 'go big or go home' style, but ones that are so real world but nothing I would ever touch in my real world. So I love the rockstar books. I love the billionaire books. And I love the Hollywood books. I like 'em different, but I love them even more when they aren't the same old story. Kate definitely made this one that much more different, and one that will leave people talking for a while.
When an authors writing makes me antsy, I know I am in for a treat. Especially when the words are lining up perfectly and the flow is consistent and smooth. Or when the story is unfolding before my very eyes and I can't settle down enough to read it because I am so excited about the possibilities. Kate did this one other time with me with DRIVE. That book drove me to drink - in Vegas no less. I loved it!!! This is exactly how Method started out for me.....and subsequently ended for me.
"Ok, Hollywood. You got the girl. Now what?"
"Now everything."
Devastating and haunting, this book dove deep into a tortured and broken mind/soul to retrieve a love seemingly lost. Looking deep into her words, Stewart spelled out what a deep undeniable love is supposed to be like. Painfully so, I felt the desperation in her words. The ache in her scenes. My face was scrunched up as I was reading this, wondering how hearts were still intact. I LOVED this one!! It was SO good!!! This book showcased what was the epitome of a supportive wife, and the lengths two hearts will go through to be with their soulmate. Holy hell. Just wow. I absolutely love when a love is written with so much love. HAHAHA!!! Just kidding....let's try that again. When a love story is written with so much depth, yet the story isn't a Point A - to - Point B scenario, it adds a little more weight to the reality of the situation I am reading and I crave that complexity. This one was very complex because the layers were riddled with facts and emotions, actions and reactions. So, so good. So telling. So arduous. So worthy.
I am certain this is one of Kate Stewart's best solo books to date. Yes, I know - I differentiated solo because I don't honestly think Heartbreak Warfare will ever ever leave me because that book crushed me. So, solo - this one gripped me. I loved Drive, but she knocked me over with Method. I will say that Kate's way of telling this story will probably not be everyone's favorite because of the style, but it really worked rather well for me. It was told as a journey down memory lane with the present tensity that they were currently dealing with. That style isn't always written well and I feel that Kate did an excellent job keeping my curiosity piqued and my heart beating hard!! I think she did the storyline justice by allowing me to get to know these characters but also allowing me to reminisce with them as to how and why they came to be. This one will stay in my heart for a long time...and I just made room on my shelf for my signed copy because this one is shelf-worthy.
"This, this feeling is what I've been holding out for, it's mine and he gave it to me."
