Broken Pieces

Beyond amazing. Heart-wrenching, complicated, and completely loving. Riley Hart did a mind blowing job writing this one. I cried from the middle of Part 1 all the way to the start of Part 3. Than smiled to the end. It's darker and different from some of her other books. So be prepared. But it's a must read.

Trigger Warning: SIDS, Child Loss, Death of an infant.

While this book held my interest pretty well, I was disappointed that triggers were not mentioned in the synopsis. However, if I would've read a few of the reviews I would've realized it but sometimes I really don't want to read a review beforehand because it can alter my opinion of the book. It's odd, because I use to have no triggers whatsoever. I could just read any and everything and barely bat an eye...but then I became a mom. (I have a 2 year old & I am about 2 months shy of delivering my 2nd child.) Reading something like this gives me major anxiety and I typically steer clear of this topic. It's my fault really, I should have just DNF'd this one but I was invested by the time I realized where it was heading so I just skimmed over the god awful parts.

Anyway, lets move on to the actual book itself. I didn't care for either of the main characters, especially Tina. She was an immature annoying pushover. I found myself rolling my eyes at her so much. Honestly, I was more invested in the side characters story than I was with Harris & Tina's. I was looking forward to the second book with those side characters but I'm truly not sure that I am going to read that one since I was super annoyed by the end of this one.

Unfortunately, it looks like this one will probably be my least favorite of the year.
