K.A Robinson, I love you!! I have always been a fan of K.A.'s work. She is one of the author that I will One-Click all her work. And when I read the blurb for this one, I knew that I would love it. I was expecting that. I was NOT expecting to bawl my eyes out and go through half a box of tissues! This quickly became one of my top books of 2014 and one of my favorites out of K.A's books. I really can't put into words how amazing this book was.Alexandria has become her paren'ts worse nightmare. She fights and get into trouble at school. She has facial piercings. Tattoos. And is dating a drug-dealer. Her boyfriend, Joel, has a lot to do with the way she is acting. Not to say that he is the one that changed her but Lexi changed herself into something that she thought that he wanted. When Lexi is caught selling drugs by her Mom they send her to live with her grandparents for the summer.Enter Landon.. SWOON. God, I loved this man. He is soo my type so it was natural for me to fall in love with him. He was so incredibly sweet and patient. The two of them had an instant attraction and even though she had a boyfriend, he was not going to give up on them becoming an item. I loved their friendship. I loved the back and forth banter.“Landon leaned over me, his face inches from mine. “I’m telling you right now that I’m not going to give up on you. I want you to be mine, City, and before the summer is over, you will be. I’ve never wanted someone the way I want you.”My heart started racing as I let his words sink in. What he wanted was impossible, and I was going to break him.“I’m sorry, Landon,” I whispered.“Don’t tell me that. I’m not letting you go.”There was a determination in his eyes that scared me and excited me all at once. Some small sick part of me didn’t want him to give up. It wanted him to chase me until I gave in.”Honestly, I thought it was going to go like this... Bad girl falls in love with good boy and they live happily ever after. the end. Noooope! Not at all. There were so many twists and turn's. A tragedy that left me speechless. I really liked that they built a friendship before it pursued to anything. And when Lexi was with Landon.. she could just live and be herself. He brought out the best in her."It was nice to just...be. I didn't have to pretend not to care about anything or act like a hard-ass out here. I was just being me."This was a perfect mix of grief, healing, redemption and finding the happy medium between the person you once were with the person you are now. We watch Lexi grow into a strong young woman by the end of Breaking Alexandria. She has been through hell and back and it was not an easy trip at all. But sometimes you have to fall before you can pick yourself back up. And in the end it was worth it because she found her way back."There's something in your eyes begging to get out, but you keep it locked up. You've got to let it out, City. Just let it go."I can't express how much I loved and enjoyed this book. This review doesn't even do justice to it because I can't think of the right words to say. This is a must read and if you haven't read it yet, one-click now!
