Four friends, who are all dealing (or not) with their own demons and issues, stumbling through life. The Thirst Trap wasn't what I expected. The blurb caught my interest, and I was more than a little intrigued by the dynamic and storyline. Would it be too busy with four main characters? Would it be cheesy? Would the characters need more development? These were just some of the questions I asked, and I have to say, no to all of them. It's about four friends who have their own baggage that they are carrying around and need to deal with, but each character is great and I didn't find them lacking. They are developed really well. So is the story. It was enjoyable, engrossing, emotional (be prepared), and I had a hard time putting it down. Each character has their time in the spotlight, and no one overshadows another. It's a story about growing up, coming of age, and so much more. You have to read this one for yourself. One-click 4 stars! 

Zachary Ryan grew up in a black-and-white box in Maryland, before moving to Chicago to start a new life. There, he found that he was accepted for his misfit status–and learned that it’s perfectly normal to spend your twenties feeling lost and confused.

After a disastrous sexual encounter, Ryan stumbled on a group of true friends, or “soul cluster,” that he connected with. Through his writing, he hopes to help other broken souls out there find comfort amid the chaos.
