STOLE MY HEART!
I am not a fan of retells, so I had a few concerns when I heard one of my favorites, Easy, was being written from Lucas’s point of view. Let me assure everyone … this isn’t a retell at all, but a FANTASTIC story all on its own. Ms. Webber delivers a powerful tale of how Landon became Lucas. The development of this character is written so well, I felt as though I was in the room watching the entire story play out. More importantly, I fell in love with him all over again. This is a wonderful companion novel and a completely new story that compliments Easy perfectly. I appreciated the development of the character, Charles Heller. In Easy, we were introduced to the relationship between the two, but little insight was given to the depths of their relationship. Knowing Heller’s influence and relationship with Lucas explained a few of Lucas’s decisions where Jacqueline was concerned. I thoroughly enjoyed the friendships Lucas maintained over the years, and LOVED his relationship with his grandfather. Lucas was drowning in so many layers of guilt and anguish, I appreciated that it took many people, not just Jacqueline, to peel all those layers away. Breakable ranks at the top of my MUST READ list for 2014. This is fiction at its best. Powerful, thought-provoking, amazing, and maybe … even better than the story that started it all!
