Unbreakable by Abby Reynolds is the first in the Forehead Kisses series.  It is told from each character’s point of view which makes reading it different than totally prose.  The same incident seen by different people comes across in very different ways.  It makes the characters more three dimensional.Kiera has a problem and it isn’t just alcohol.  She is terrified to be alone and the only person she is comfortable around is her cousin Scotty.  He has been her lifeline since the day she woke up in the hospital after being beaten almost to death by her boyfriend and finding out that her parents were killed by a drunk driver the very night she was beaten.  She is getting on with her life by going to school but that is the extent of her activities unless they involve Scotty.Liam has a problem as well, his anger.  He is extremely angry over the death of his sister by her boyfriend.  He has cut all ties with his parents as he blames them for not stopping her from going with the guy.  He also blames himself for not stepping in and protecting his sister.  When he first sees Kiera, he is intrigued.  He recognizes her fear although he doesn’t know the cause.  He wants to help her overcome her fears and trust him.  This is a complete turnaround for him.  He has been a ”love it and leave ‘um” kind of guy until now.Can Liam break through the barriers Kiera has set up?  Once he gains her trust, then what?  What will happen when or if Kiera tells him her story?The book is well written and draws the reader into it.  Once more, I had to read it in one sitting as it was just too good to put down.  It will be hard to wait until the end of the month for the next in the series.
