“You’re enough for me. You’re everything to me. You’re all I need.” -Reed4.5 LOVE CONQUERS ALL STARS!This book was intriguing and addicting from start to finish. Perfectly Broken is the story of Peyton and Reed, with sub-characters Quinn, Bret and Griffin. Peyton and Reed are both struggling with personal issues when it comes to dating and relationships. With help from their friends, family and a therapist, they both learn how to love, trust and have complete faith in each other, regardless of what happens along the way. They both needed to learn a hard lesson, which is that keeping secrets from one other, no matter how small in meaning, can come back and cause emotional stress or damage later on.At first I was a little skeptical because the story is written in the 3rd POV. I was afraid that with all the jumping around of characters and their thoughts, the personal connection might not develop with the reader. In this case it really worked out well for the story to actually be in the 3rd POV. Perfectly Broken is one of those books where you just can’t wait to hear what the other person in the conversation is thinking.One aspect of the book I also loved was how Ms. Lane used real places from New Orleans and included it in some of the scenes. This made everything much more realistic for me. I was just recently in New Orleans and I felt like I was visiting some of the local “hotspots” all over again.I think most New Adult romance readers will really enjoy Perfectly Broken. It has all the aspects and elements of a good, heartfelt, first real love romance that takes time, effort and patience to build.I give Perfectly Broken, 4.5 LOVE CONQUERS ALL STARS!
