Breaking Nova is another consuming, emotional, tragic story by author Jessica Sorensen.  This author did another fantastic job building characters that have so much pain and sorrow.  They are trapped in darkness and such a bad place due to the incomprehensible grief and tragedy they suffered.Nova has seen and been dealt with horrific loss and she is broken.  You can feel and see in these pages her brokenness, but you also get a glimmer of the light, the hope.  She travels the wrong path because she is just existing (if you could even call it that), and as much as I don’t understand the choices, I get it.  The people in her life are just as broken and lost as Nova.  Quinton is dead.  He doesn’t feel he has any right to be alive and lives to escape living and feeling.  Then he meets Nova, and a glimpse or spark of life and light can be seen.Breaking Nova is a depressing story of facing grief and forgiving.  The scenes are vivid in their darkness.  Jessica Sorensen has a talent for creating a physical setting that feels as much a character as the people in the story.  Her words impacted my senses where as a reader I felt I could smell, feel and see the story as I read through the pages.As heavy as Breaking Nova made my heart feel, I could feel the light emerging toward the end of the book.  However, when it was finished I just couldn’t comprehend and I was gutted all over again.  Saving Quinton is book 2 in the Nova series and I can’t wait to pick it up and see if Nova has the strength she needs to save him from himself.  4.0 Breaking Stars.  Give this a try and get “crushed”.
