Punishing Penelope by Nicolina MartinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Punishing Penelope is the story of seven friends. We meet the group as they head into the summer before their senior year of high school.
Pen has a crush on both the bad boy, Stephan, and the good boy, Peter. Just as she makes her decision to pursue a relationship with Peter, tragedy strikes and everything changes.
Fast forward nine years. The group is completely out of touch, living their own lives, still bearing the scars of that fateful night.
“Our union, and our reunion, were always written in the stars.”
It’s said that hate and love are two sides of the same coin. Their feelings are complicated. Pen shut down and associates Peter with pain. Peter resents the loss of could have been, should have been, and the calcification of Pen’s heart. Her anger spurs her career, just as Peter’s does, though they find themselves on different sides, albeit fighting for the same things.
“The depravity, the feeling that I’d fall if he didn’t hold me, his crazed intrusion of all my holes, how he uses me and abuses me, is the sexiest, maddest thing I’ve ever experienced. I’ve never felt so defenseless in my life. I’m completely and fully his, and I don’t want to be anywhere else.”
Punishing Penelope is the story of their second chance where these two young lovers become rivals and their relationship comes full circle.
