The Heartbroken Heartbreaker by Sam Madison
4.0
"When you get your heart broken, other people can help you pick the pieces up, but only you can glue the pieces back together."
A good book, whatever genre it may be- fiction or non fiction, fantasy or contemporary, sci-fi or mystery-, will never fail to resonate with you and to leave you thinking about the characters, the story, and the message it holds. This is the reason why I fell in love with this book right off the bat. It was beautifully emotional and real and it made me feel so much- happiness, sadness, anger, confusion, frustration. The writing style was poetic and perfectly written. The main characters were well-crafted and their developments touched my heart in more ways than one.
"Moving on is not forgetting- moving on is being able to remember without feeling awful about it."
My only complaint, to be honest, is that the side characters were literally just there for the heck of it. Aside from Alyssa, the others were ushered to the sidelines and were never given a chance to be in the spotlight. Which was quite disappointing because these characters seemed interesting and they could've been interesting if the author hadn't left them out.
"Some people write to make something ugly beautiful, some write to leave a part of themselves to be remembered, some write to give words soul and meaning, and some write to exist in non-existence."
But overall, this was a book that not only entertained me but also made me feel a shitton of emotions and left me with an endless flowing river of thoughts.
"You can't take shortcuts. You have to go through the bad moments because these roads often lead to other roads that offer good ones."
