jmichelle1986 's review for:
A Thousand Broken Pieces
by Tillie Cole
Ok guys this one was hard for me to get through. Not because I didn't like it but because it hit me in all the places that I thought were already healed (for the most part). The main character in this book lost her sister, I too lost my sister back in 2018. Going through the journey of someone who has lost a loved one is tough but going through the journey of someone who is experiencing the same feelings, the same hurt, the same emptiness is crushing. I understood exactly where she was at each point of this book, with all of the waves and stages you go through in grief.
Now, there is a negative aspect to this book. I didn't like the fact that her healing journey was tied to a boy. I know it's YA, so it's expected, but it almost made it seem as if she couldn't or wouldn't get past or accept her sister's passing had she not had the boy to focus on. They could have gone through each of their stories without making it seem as if they needed a love interest to heal. Even with this, I would strongly recommend this book to any and all.
