Unbreakable by Rebecca Shea

4.0

This book is amazing. It’s a heartbreaking, and beautiful story.

The story flows smoothly. The writing is on point. This book ripped my heart out. I cried, a lot.

I also smiled a lot and laughed a few times and Gabe and Landon both stole a piece of my heart.

The main couple in this novel is Jessica and Gabe. Gabe is the older brother of Jessica’s best friend Ava. Jessica has had a crush on Gabe for years.

They end up admitting how they feel about each other and become a couple. Everything is perfect. They’re happy.

Then something horrible happens. Something that you will not see coming. Something that will rip your heart a part and then stomp on what’s left.

The writing is so well-done that you will feel everything. I felt all the pain that Jessica and Gabe felt. I cried right along with them. At one point my dad asked me if I was okay, I wasn’t. I was far from being okay.

When a book makes me feel like that and makes me ugly cry it makes me love it. That shows that the book had really great character development and amazing writing. When the story sucks you in and makes you feel things, it’s wonderful.

After the shocking thing happens, the aftermath comes. Jessica and Gabe are faced with hard decisions of how to deal with what happened and how to move on.

Jessica ends up moving away. This is when Landon steps onto the scene. As much as I loved Gabe, I couldn’t help falling in love with Landon.

He helps Jessica heal and get stronger.

The story is told in dual point-of-view so we also understand what Gabe is feeling. We know that while Jessica is away, he never stops loving her and isn’t going to give up on them.

Overall, I really enjoyed this story. It’s honest, real, and emotional. I felt like I knew the characters.

I did think the second half of the book, from the point she meets Landon to the ending, was a bit rushed. I would have loved to have seen more of him. Thankfully, he has his own book that is out.

This novel is a standalone.

If you’re looking for a great love story that will make you swoon, break your heart, and then put it back together this is the story for you.

Rebecca Shea made me ugly cry, and now I’ll be reading whatever she writes from here on out.
