Unbreakable by Dani Galliaro
5.0
Unbreakable is a book about romance, but I don't know that I would call it a romance novel. For me it feels like this straddles a line between romance and literary fiction; we're not racing towards Happily Ever After but instead facing what comes years after you've ridden off into the sunset. All that to say: this book is unlike any anything I have read by Author Dani Galliaro and, honestly, unlike any I've read since I dove headfirst into hockey romance in general and it is well worth the read.
If you're looking for a light hearted romance with hot hot smut, you're going to want to look elsewhere. Unbreakable will absolutely having you fanning yourself as Jeanine and Dylan definitely have zero issues with chemistry still being a thing but Author Galliaro focuses on the stark realities of what a relationship like Dylan and Jeanine would look like - and how you can still love your partner with all your heart and not be getting what you need out of a relationship.
There were parts that were extremely difficult to read and kudos to Author Galliaro for not shying away from the discomfort of those and forcing us as the reader to sit with them. I think for many people reading, you may hear echos of your own struggles and frustrations within the pages and, as such (despite the extra-ness of The Plan), the real healing comes from what Dylan calls "the bigger plan [... now] we do the hard part. We keep working on this."
The relationships Jeanine had with her support network back home (and the texts back and forth) gave me life. Especially as I loved getting to see some familiar faces. But while I absolutely adored the Unintentional Puck Bunny series, Unbreakable has a very, very different vibe - and I'm here for it.
