Break
You by Jennifer Snyder
This was given to us in exchange for an honest review by the author:
This
was my first book to read by Jennifer and I can tell you it will not be my
last. Jennifer did an amazing job of writing in both the male and female point
of views. The chapters went back and forth between the two main characters,
Blaire and Jason each telling their thoughts. Jennifer was able to express the
thoughts and feelings that Blaire and Jason were experiencing in such a way
that I was able to feel what they were feeling. The characters were so like
able, people I would call my friends.
Blaire
and Jason knew one another in High School, but both felt the other was
unattainable. So they never became more than acquaintances seeing each other in
passing through the hallways going to and from classes.
The
story takes place years after high school. Blaire is a CNA at a nursing home
and going to the local college working on her Nursing degree. Her life revolves
around work and studying.
Jason
is going to college in another state working on his degree in psychology. Jason left home right after high school to
get away from all the sadness at home. His father had unexpectedly passed his
senior year and he ran from the sadness
going to college in another state. Leaving his mom alone to dwell in her
sadness. While away his grandmother passes and this brings his mom into a deeper
sadness. A year has passed since her death and his grandfather is now dying of
a broken heart. He has been put into the nursing home where Blaire works and
Jason has come home to help his mom get his grandfather’s house ready to sell.
He realizes his mom needs him and that it was wrong of him to have left her to
deal with the passing of his father.
Finals
are over and as a way to unwind Blaire’s two friend’s dragger her out to a
party to celebrate. This is where she and Jason run into one another, Jason is
home for a visit and his friend takes him to the same party. They end up
talking to one another and both realize they are attracted to the person they
once felt was unattainable in high school.
This
is the part of a review I hate… do I tell more of the story or do I leave it
here. I hate to give up the whole story line, but I also hate to feel I have
left you hanging. What I can say is that Blaire and Jason do date and reveal
the way the felt in high school for each other. They have more than their fair
share of obstacles that get in their way. All in all this was a great story and
I would love to read more on Blaire and Jason. I see there is a book two of the
Coldcreek Series and I am looking forward to reading the sequel.
I
without any reservations give this book a 5 start rating! Awesome job Jennifer,
I look forward to reading more of your books.
