SUMMER'S BOOK BLOG“I've never loved you. I lied. I couldn't love you. You're just some loser I've had to spend my entire life with. I got stuck with you because my mother decided to give custody to your mom. You were easy to control. Easy to manipulate. I didn't ever have to do much to get you to do what I wanted.” Then she laughs and the noise is kind of crazy, but hollow. “You think I could really love you? You're nothing, Pierce; just a dumb jock with a head full of air. And an amazing body.”These were the words that crushed Courtney Pierce.  How could someone that he loved for so long say something so awful to him when she knows everything he went through during his childhood?  Court's childhood was traumatic, to say the least, and Annabella Gage was there for him through all of it.  She even knows his darkest secret.  So now, after years of following her around like a lost puppy and finally winning her over (or stealing her away from his older brother, Van) the thought of her leaving him in such a cruel way seems unimaginable.  Will Annabella finally be the thing that breaks Court or will he find a way to pick up the pieces and move along?"I guess my way of coping is trying to get on top of someone else. And if that person is Rachel Sanders, then my ass is grass."Rachel Sanders had a pretty great life, nothing like Court's.  She had a twin brother, Royal, and two great parents.  She also had the picture perfect relationship with Kellan until he cheated on her.  Trying to find a way to make herself feel better she ends up at Court's house and they use each other to heal their wounds.  A few days after their one hot night together Rachel gets back with Kellan and leaves Court to finish moving on from Annabella.  That is until a very unplanned surprise shocks everyone and pushes Court and Rachael together.With all of the surprises and uncertainty that the future, Court and Rachael's relationship is seemingly easy.  She is a breath of fresh air compared to Annabella and Court is so supportive and nurturing to Rachael but when Court's past starts haunting him and he begins calling out in his sleep will he confess the dark secret to Rachael or keep it tucked away letting it rip them apart?Save Me by Amanda Heath is the third installment in the Make or Break series.  This book can be read as a stand alone though.  Amanda does give you a quick history so you can get acclimated.  It is in the YA category and the drama did take me right back to my high school days!!  It also deals with some very grown up issues, as well.Amanda gave us an awesome array of characters in Save Me and they were all so easy to relate to.  I really enjoyed how we got to watch them grow throughout the story and see they matured from high school seniors to adults.  The most impressive transformation was Court's.  At the beginning of the book he was such a jerk but getting to know him and his past made his transformation almost beautiful!Amanda Heath has such a great writing style and her stories are so easy to get sucked into!  I am completely looking forward to Kiss Me, 4th Make or Break story as I am sure I will be just as wonderful as this one!!!
