Broken Beautiful Hearts by Kami Garcia

4.0

This book has been on my TBR for a long time and I almost removed it several times. But I'm so glad I didn't and gave it a chance.

The title always made me confuse it with books of Sara Barnard and I was a bit surprised that it is written by the same author as the beautiful creatures serie.
Yes, in many ways it is a typical YA-story: High school scene, rivalry between the cheer leading squad and the new girl in town, jocks looking for fights to show their superiority... But it also was more than the stereotype would make you expect. It was about real problems that are often brushed under a rug, never to be spoken about unless something really bad happens. No matter how humiliating or demeaning it makes someone feel, how it will make people whisper behind backs and point fingers, it can no longer be hidden and ignored. It takes courage to pick up the piece, face and conquer your fears and continue where you left off or to start over.

Everyone can get broken is so many ways and it's like the MC says. It is not the happy ever after that counts but the happy EVEN after everything that happened.

Totally fell in love with the connection between Peyton and Owen, the bickering between the twins and their protective streak.
