Addicted (I) (2014)

*SPOILERS FROM THE BOOK* I Was A Bit Disappointed.

[5/10 · 28 October 2014]

I read this book years ago, and loved it for its thriller nature, especially towards the end (when you think everything is alright after her suicide attempt, but it really wasn't). The movie really twisted some things, and I know movies will never likely be the same as the books they were created from, but still. The painters name was Quinton Matthews, and he was Black. Quinton's FATHER left for another woman, and his MOTHER committed suicide (or so he says). The other guy's name was Tyson (who had a crazy side chick named Dusty who revealed he'd been locked up for domestic violence once). Brina never worked for Zoe. Brina was in an abusive relationship, and was murdered by the boyfriend(Dempsey). Zoe slept with Diamond too. Jason discovered Zoe was cheating when Tyson came to his job and told him. Zoe was actually hit by a flower truck. Zoe remembered she was raped via hypnosis. Jason was the son of a prostitute and this is why he doesn't like to "experiment" sexually (which makes total sense). The mother never stayed with the family, she re-married after Zoe's father died, and lived in another state. After Zoe got out of the hospital, Jason got her a dog, which was killed by Quinton (he grilled the dog on THEIR grill...sick man smh). Zoe and Jason went into hiding for fear of their lives, and Quinton followed them and almost kills them both, saying the cliché "if I can't have you, no one else can". It turned out Quinton also killed his parents, Diamond, Tyson, the cops guarding Zoe and Jason in hiding, Brina's boyfriend, AND every other woman he'd ever been with and buried them all under the family mural he showed Zoe. I just wished all of this was in the movie too.
