There were one or two things I thought could have been a bit different, but it wasn't anything that would make you want to put the book down. This is definitely a book I recommend and think both, young adult, and adults can read and enjoy it. Blake and Allie both have skeletons in their closet and through each other they were able to face it head on. I am making this book seem like one big ball of depression, but trust me it has a very happy ending. The romance between Blake and Allie was also heart breaking. The only person she can truly count on is the one person she pushed away because of Trip, and that is Blake, her childhood friend. Even with Trip gone, she is so scarred by his abuse, that little things sent her in panic mode. There were some scenes that made me want to cry. No one knows the truth but Allie and she is so ashamed and afraid, she keeps that secret. To the world, Trip and Allie's relationship was perfect. As she begins to remember exactly what happened that night of the accident, you learn about how abusive Trip was towards her and everything she went through. To top things off her life at home isn't so great either. She loses her boyfriend in a nasty car crash and has a hard time remembering every single detail of the accident. I wanted to reach in the book and hug her and help her out. She had a boyfriend girls would’ve given anything to have, but behind doors her life was full of secrets.
This book really got to me and I want to talk about every little detail, unfortunately I can’t without spoiling the story.īefore the accident, Allie’s life seemed perfect. But what I didn't expect was to read about such a broken down girl who at such a young age experienced so much. When I started reading Breaking Beautiful I knew the story would be very sad and emotional, so I sort of knew what to expect. Can she reach deep enough to remember that night so she can finally break free? Debut writer Jennifer Shaw Wolf takes readers on an emotional ride through the murky waters of love, shame, and, ultimately, forgiveness.īreaking Beautiful has one of the most broken characters I have ever read about.
When the police reopen the investigation, it casts suspicion on Allie and her best friend, Blake, especially as their budding romance raises eyebrows around town. As their small town mourns his death, Allie is afraid to remember because doing so means delving into what she’s kept hidden for so long: the horrible reality of their abusive relationship. Allie lost everything the night her boyfriend, Trip, died in a horrible car accident-including her memory of the event.
