The Broken Vows by Catharina Maura
1.0

The only reason I gave this book a two-star rating and not a one is because the book's first half was great! I was intrigued by the love story between Zane and Celeste. The previous books hinted at their love story, and I was dying to understand why they intensely hated one another. You know what they say: first comes love, then hate. Actually, no, it's the other way around. I know that, but it sounded better this way to fit this book.

Anyways, Celeste and Zane's backstory of how they met was sweet. I loved getting to experience the way their love for one another grew as they got older. What I was surprised to find out was the reasoning behind their breakup. The tragedy that struck Celeste was horrible, and I felt for her. I just wished she would've tried harder to find the truth behind the words told to her. She went years harboring hate toward someone who didn't deserve it.

The second half of this book could have been better. Maybe it was the miscommunication or how easily Celeste threw away someone she had cherished for so long that made me dislike it.
