A charmingly adventurous story...IN SPACE!!
Breakout is truly such an emotional journey and I adore its focus on the characters, their growth, feelings, and personal ambitions and goals. Breakout follows three beautiful individuals and explores their personal journeys with obtaining their desires and handling their emotions, and how these journeys blend together into a wonderful found family adventure.
What really hooked me in was the raw *emotions* that I so easily resonated with for each of our three MCs. Every conversation, when it wasn't witty and humorous, was thought provoking and so emotionally *deep* it really gets the reader to just stop and *think*.
And those witty and humorous scenes? Along with all that wonderful FLUFFFFF. Urgh it just makes me SMILE ʕ ꈍᴥꈍʔ
It took a few chapters for me to adjust to this kind of pacing style until I realized that Breakout reads a lot like a TV script! Which I strangely didn't mind for this book~ I feel like it ended up being the perfect pacing method to weave the three journeys together. Especially when it comes to Tryst's POV which was so excellently written! (Tryst was definitely my favourite to read about!) No spoilers here, so you'll have to read Breakout to see what I mean ;3
Thank you so much to Alek for creating this master piece and allowing me to take part in the ARC Crew! 💛 Breakout was the emotional journey I didn't realize I needed and I'm excited for others to fall deeply in love with this book too!
