Tear by Rachel Van Dyken



 "What do you do when you're drowning, but the only way to be free is to hold on to the one thing in all the world you're afraid won't be able to keep both of you afloat."

This is the second book I've read by Rachel Van Dyken. I enjoyed her writing style and her books are very captivating.The book did have plenty of laugh out loud moments and i found myself highlighting a couple of quotes.  I think I would have read this book in one sitting except I had to get sleep and am responsible for another human. Tear is the first in the seaside series. It's a young adult book about a love triangle between a  high school senior. Natalee Murray, in the town Seaside, Oregon whom falls in love with two  brothers.  This is your normal love triangle.except these two brothers happen to be rock stars of the band AD2.  Alec and Demetri are polar opposites. Whereas Alec has beautiful green eyes, constantly brooding, and quiet, Demetri is blue eyed and the ultimate life of the party. AD2 is  taking a break from touring and are residing in Oregon, while they focus on their personal live as in that is their cover story. The brothers are hiding the real story of what has been going on in their personal lives and are fearful of losing Natalee if the truth comes out. I loved Demetri and Alec, but I found Natalee to be a little annoying. The girl pretty much cries throughout the whole book. The author did seem to mention twilight and Stephanie Meyer quite often in this book. I did get the feel as this could possibly be twilight fan fiction, fair warning.
  "It was so easy with him. It was like, oh gosh I'm totally going to kill Stephanie Meyer and Twilight. It really was like breathing. Sorry Jacob and Bella, but it's true. And I'm sorry, but being with a werewolf would not be like breathing. It would be like dying. "
The author seems to have a pretty accurate description of high school.."And to answer your question, they're high schoolers. Imagine Hollywood, only the drugs are cheaper, the women are looser, the men are hornier, and everyone's hormones are spiked like they're high on ecstasy."
 I plan on reading the next book in this series by Rachel Van Dyken, Pull.
