4.0

Harrowing, heart breaking, achingly realistic - Breaker is not for the faint of heart. 

Exploring the difficulties that Veterans have to navigate after returning from the horror of the war front, and the pain of those left behind, this book will rip your heart out. 

Though Kit made some silly choices - those of youth and idiocy, you just want to wrap him in a warm blanket and take away his pain. Cash lives up to his reputation as a Grade A AHole and I did want to *violence* him several times. 

Of course, Ned and the kids don’t deserve what they were handed either, so you feel a lot of compassion for her plight too. 

Please, read the trigger warnings and think about your mental situation before reading.
