More like a 3.5. Wasn't as captivating as i first expected it to be but it was still a good read.

No rating because I read 120 pages, skimmed another 100 and then threw in the towel. I went into this probably fairly prejudiced as my best friend and on/off boyfriend at the time died in a horrific car crash under mysterious circumstances four years ago this summer. The premise is one that hits unc...

Breaking Beautiful is the type of novel that is meant to be realistic, poignant, and compelling, yet for some reason, it didn't live up to its full potential. From the moment the cover and synopsis of Breaking Beautiful was revealed, I was thrilled and excited to get my hands on it. I haven't read m...

Breaking Beautiful was the first book dealing with abusive relationships that I've read. The subject matter always made me leery, because it could so easily be done incorrectly.

I am having a hard time coming up with the right words to describe the emotions from this book. It was such an excellently written story with so much sadness and a lot of mystery woven in. I both liked and didn't like being in Allie's head the whole time. It was her story, so having it told from her...

This is a very emotional story that didn't let me go, with a main character that held my attention and a plot that uncovered piece by piece. Allie lost her boyfriend and is in mourning, but that is not all there is to the story. She's forgotten all the events leading up to his death, she doesn'...

I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out why parts of it felt like I’d read it before. This book is (very) similar to Stampler’s WHERE IT BEGAN only minus the overly annoying “me, me, me” of Gabby. The biggest similarity is how anything bad that could have happened, actually did happen to All...
