MY REVIEW
Falling to pieces is the perfect name for this book because
that’s exactly what happened to me after reading it. I’m a blubbering mess and
I. Just. Can’t. Words and thoughts have left me. I now have an empty space in
my heart, but if this book taught me anything it’s to have hope and to love without
abandon. Falling to pieces is a book that makes you are glad you read, but sad
that you finished it. The way the book ended was bittersweet and I need the
next one like pronto! Jade has come a long way from the beginning of the book.
Kiernan taught her that she needs to live life not just exist in it. Nothing in
life is ever easy and the things you do work for, you appreciate it more.
I think the next book is going to be just as heartbreaking
as this one and I just hope Jade can keep it together. Cal, Kiernan’s brother
is the rock in this book, He keeps everyone from falling apart and if they do
he picks them up. He is so strong for his family and I adore him.
Jade has not had an easy life, with a drunken mother and a
dad that’s never been in her life. She was just living day by day letting
people put her down and believing every word they said. It’s not easy getting
out of a place where you believe you belong, but with a little help from a hot
guy maybe she can climb out of the abyss.
Kiernan is just full of life and doesn’t want to waste a
minute on regret. He teaches Jade that she is beautiful the way she is and
helps her stand up for herself. He gets her to enjoy what she loves to do and
encourages her. He just lives life to its fullest and wants to bring Jade along
for the ride. Kiernan is the perfect guy! <3 <3 *sobs*
Overall: Pain, grief, love, hope, are a few words that
entered my mind when I finished this book. Falling to pieces is painstakingly good
and heart wrenching to the core. Be prepared to be floored with the awesomeness
that is Jamie Canosa. She knows how to tell a story and knows just what to
write to get us to fall to pieces.
