Unbreakable by Rebecca Shea
4.0
For some reason, I truly enjoy reading dedication pages and the one for Unbreakable truly spoke to my heart. Read what Rebecca says:
One of my favorite authors, Michelle Leighton wrote, "Every broken person's worst fear - that no one will be able to love us in spite of our scars." This book is dedicated to anyone who has ever been broken. You are loved - scars and all.
I met Rebecca at a book signing in Cleveland back in April and I am kicking myself that it took me so long to begin this series. Jess is a piece of work. Her dad is basically a deadbeat dad because he is so preoccupied with his career that she thinks of her neighbors as family more than him. She is secretly in love with Gabe, but he is slightly older and her best friend's brother. Oh, and he's one of the neighbor's kids. Jess thinks it is a one-sided crush until a trip to see Gabe at college.
True to form with this genre, Gabe also has a crush on Jess. I am so over the "insta-love, I am secretly in love with my friend's sibling" storyline, but to my surprise that was my only negative about this book. The ups, downs, trials, and tribulations that Jess and Gave experience are for the record books. But, when the unexpected happens, it rocks them to the core and we truly get to see if their bond is truly unbreakable.
Their story is told in alternating POV's so I found myself attached to both Gabe and Jess. The first word that comes to mind when I think of this book is heartbreaking, But, makes this book exceptional is Shea's ability to turn something that is quite horrific into a story of triumph. The ending left me hanging so I moved right on to Undone!!!
