Review: Anything but Typical
Rating: 4 out of 5

While BEST KIND OF BROKEN followed many of the typical NA tropes and familiar plot devices, this book was anything but typical.  The author wrote this book with such feeling that she grabbed me by my emotions almost immediately and didn't let go until the end.After almost a year of no contact with her best friends, Pixie Marshall finds herself suddenly sharing a bathroom with Levi Andrews.  Once upon a time, Levi and Pixie made up two thirds of their own Three Musketeers group.  The third member was Levi's sister, Charity, who died in a car accident that left Pixie extremely injured and Levi emotionally scarred beyond recognition.The sexual tension between Levi and Pixie is a character in and of itself.  It is made bittersweet by knowing that each of them is so afraid of hurting, not for themselves, but for the other person.  The intense love and genuine affection that runs between these two is so strong and absolutely incredible.I loved the way the author moved the story forward by sharing bits and pieces of the past.  We were able to see how Levi and Pixie's foundation was built as we watch their attraction grow and consume.Chelsea Fine is a great storyteller who knows how to develop strong characters that you want to make your new best friends.  I enjoyed this story a lot.  4 out of 5 Stars.
