Best Kind Of Broken is a breath of fresh air that leaves you with a feeling of peace, love, forgiveness and coming together. It doesn't have meaningless pages of sex but a sweet story of finding your way through life to start again. The author tells a story of a couple that not only lost themselves, but their family, friends and each other through a tragic they had no control over. Each blaming their self in hurting not only themselves but their love ones, each needing the other but to afraid to seek their comfort only the other could give. This story is about love lost, passion, peace, calm, happiness, hope, family, heartbreak, starting over, finding oneself, fear, guilt and forgiveness, and above all healing.We know there has been a tragic but the author keeps you guessing to what this so it kind of has a mystery. If only one could turn back time and redo the bad, if we change time everything would be great. How many times have we are self’s thought this? Time cannot be changed we must move on and learn to live again. It is one of the hardest things we will ever do.Pixie and Levi cannot turn back time, they cannot fix their lives and they cannot move on. Each losing their best friends and maybe a start of a relationship. How can childhood friends move on when they need each other so badly? Can they find the strength to not only heal themselves, their souls and their hearts but to find their way back to each other?Pixie is out of college for the summer. She does not want to move back home with a heartless mother who makes her the escape goat for everything that has went bad in her life. She moves into her aunt Inn where she will not only have a job but get free room and board. It will give her time for peace, to get herself back together where she will hopeful keep busy and forget all that she has lost.Levi also lives at Willow Inn, he is also trying to escape. He drops out of college, leaving his football team behind. He has lost it all, his family, his best friend (Pixie who is the love of his life) he just can't seem to get his life back on track. He is looking for away to forget how much he has not only cost himself but his family and Pixie.Neither knew the other worked and would be living at Willow Inn. From the first time they see each other sparks fly. Both not knowing what to say, how to find a peace with each other, and the easiest thing to do is fight. Each picks as many fights as they can, pay back are hell which will leave you with a smile on your face. They know by doing this at least they have each other and are at least their talking and reaching out. They have been friends since childhood will they be able to find peace, come together, work through their tragic life, finding the healing and start a new beginning with each other?Her aunt Ellen brings them together so they can fix the wrong time as given them. I strongly believe this is why Ellen has them both working there. Ellen is a wonderful character who is very wise. She never tells them what to do but is always there asking question. Along with the cook and bartender they all get in the way, pushing them in the correct direction with little question or comments just to start them thinking. The character are wonderful, fun loving that will make you smile.At first I thought the character acted too young for their ages, but then I look at the people I work with that are these ages and I found that yes my co-workers act this way. So I found this very believable. With this book I found caring people, fun, smiles and humor along with lost, tragic, pain, heartbreak. I so enjoyed this read, it was nice not to have sex throughout the book with endless pages of nothing but how they had sex. I feel this author did an outstanding job keeping you on your toes, and on the edge of your seats, she does this with humor, caring and loving character that are just finding their way in life.If you are looking for an easy read, that has tragic, love, humor with a calming peace to come home to this is the book for you. The fights will have you smiling, the pain with have you with tears in your eyes. The author has a way to bring out the worse and the best of each character. She has a smooth easy flow that follows you throughout the book.“This is life. This is what we have. We can mourn over the broken pieces or we can cling to what’s left. And we're clinging like hell.” No true words were every typed.
