Breakable (Contours of the Heart, #2)

by Tammara Webber

[EBookObsessed]

We know the story of Lucas/Landon from Easy, but it is hard to see the struggle of the young boy who lost his mother and has his life turned upside down.

I enjoyed Easy mostly because of Lucas. Breakable is broken down and we have a chapter in the past then a chapter in the present. Since we know about Lucas in college, it keeps out attention during that period as we see the story from Lucas's point of view. We also see how self-destructive Landon becomes after his mother's death and his father takes them to live with is grandfather. Landon's father pretty much checks out after his mother's death and does nothing while Landon takes drugs and skips school, barely graduating and only due to the help of his parents' friend and his mentor.

My only complaint is that the college portion of the story contained all the happenings with Jacqueline and it briefed everything down. He talked about getting a text from her, but didn't show us the text. You would have needed to pull out Easy to following along with the e-mails and texts. Since I listened to an audiobook of Easy, I couldn't just follow along. It would have only added a few more pages to the overall story to add the conversations in to help refresh the audiences mind. The author presumed that you read Easy first (and must have re-read jjsut before starting this one). I don't remember any mention about what happened to Landon's mother so you are presumed to know.

I would have enjoyed this a little more if the author had filled in a little more of the Lucas/Jacqueline story so we didn't have to rely on memory of happenings between them and conversations between them.

Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
