I really should know better by now. It should be obvious that when I start to read a book by Jessica Sorensen I am going to be enthralled, entertained, and emotionally devastated by the time I am finshed with the story. Well she delivers again and did not let me down.Breaking Nova is a dark, real book filled with loss, grief, pain, and hope. Honestly, if you are looking for warm fuzzies when you finish reading a book, then look elsewhere. If you are looking for an honest picture of what heartbreak can look like for people struggling just to make it through another day, then stop what you are doing and start reading Breaking Nova. Be prepared, the book seems realistic. It deals with drugs, suicide, and the effects of those choices.The characters are amazing. Nova is one of the most real heroines I have come across in my readings. She is a young woman who has suffered serious loss not once, but twice in her life. Her struggle to move forward, as well as the choices she makes to lose and then ultimately find herself are so well written in this story. She is a strong character.My heart breaks for Quinton. Can he be called the hero of this story, I am not sure. I am hopeful though, that in the next he will be. Like Nova, Quinton has endured losses and pain that are too difficult to handle. He struggles to live and unlike Nova, he finds its easier to just lose himself.I so cannot wait for this story to continue. I want for an ultimate happy ending for Quinton and Nova.
