Best Kind of Broken is a phenomenal book.  I can't stress how much I loved it.  I wasn't expecting to, but once I started reading, any preconceived notions I had about this book fell away and all that was left was me immersing myself in the story.  This is one of my top reads from the first half of 2014.  I can't wait until it comes out in paperback in January 2015 so I can add it to my shelves.Lets talk about Levi and Pixie.  These two are so enraged with each other and I couldn't figure out why especially since the sparks between the two of them were so hot.  I thought I'd be able to guess why or why seeing the scar Pixie had bothered Levi so much, but I wasn't even close.  The truth behind Levi and Pixie's silence and anger broke me.  I'm not ashamed to admit I broke down and cried more than once.  While both of them are broken, they can't see that their barbs and jabs at each other only mask their fears and hurts.While I cried reading this book, I laughed often too.  Some of it was due to the pranks Levi and Pixie pulled on each other and others were due to their friend's antics. I look forward to reading more books featuring each one of them and hopefully seeing more Levi and Pixie too. I loved everyone in this book except for Sandra, Pixie's mother.  I can honestly say I abhorred her with a passion.As much as I loved this book, I am beyond impressed with Chelsea Fine.  After all she's the one responsible for both the agony I felt as I learned of the cause of Pixie and Levi's pain and the joy when they finally found a way to divulge the truth to each other. Not to mention the fact I read this book in under three hours, all in one sitting.  I lost sleep and skipped dinner all because I was unable to stop reading.Every once in a while I'll read a book that tears me apart and puts me back together, changing me in small ways.  Best Kind of Broken is such a book.  It'll stay with you long after you've finished the last page and you'll love it for doing just that.
