Broken Kyle managed to break my heart into tiny little pieces.Kyle is damaged. He is the only child of an abusive alcoholic mother. An outlet for her rage and fists. He learns early in life to tiptoe through the house, because being noticed means pain.Kyle is different. He realizes that he isn't the same as the other boys his age. He doesn't like girls, his eyes drift to the other boys, he's poor, he's socially awkward, and he's probably a nerd since he was cursed with a brain.Kyle is invisible.  Since decided that he's better off if no one notices him, he's made a successful attempt at becoming invisible in his high school. With no friends, and minimal human contact, Kyle is going through the motions until high school comes to an end.Enter Brad.Brad is the most popular boy in school. He is a jock, he's hot, he's popular, and he is the last person who would ever notice Kyle. Until the day he plants himself in Kyle's path just to get his attention. Brad needs help with his History class so he stops Kyle in the hall to ask for help. This one request will forever change the calm invisibility of Kyle's high school existence. And both boys find that they have a lot more in common than anyone would think.Maybe with a Chance of Certainty is an amazing read. I fell in love with the writing. The brutality of the high school social hierarchy brought me back. Kyle's POV is great. It's amusing, wry and painful. Kyle and Brad quickly climbed their way into my heart, and then stomped all over it. I highly recommend this!4 Stars
