Break Me (Make or Break #2) by Amanda Heath4 out of 5 StarsI don’t even know where to start with this review.  Wesley Bridges is beyond broken, she’s hollow, raw, empty, and alone after the death of her boyfriend/best friend.  Her friends Annabella and Pierce are so caught up in their own self-centeredness and high school drama that they abandon Wes in her darkest moments.  Everyone but her brother Bentley refuses to reach into the pit of her despair to help her out, that is until she’s asked to tutor Royal Sanders.  Being a history nut, Wes agrees not realizing that Royal just might be the one who will get down in the pit and actually lift her out rather than just offer a helping hand.Full of other characters that you come to really like and some you’d like to knock some sense into, depending on which one your reading about, this book really has a well-rounded cast of people to keep it moving at a great pace!My favorite person is Royal and here is why:“You can push me all you want, girl, but I’m not going to run.  I have a twin sister.  I know how you teenage girls work.  You want me to run so I’ll let you live alone in your misery, but that’s not going to happen.  I won’t let you shrivel up and die, Wesley…You showed me a side of you that I don’t think anyone has ever seen.  That means something to me, whether you like it or not.  I’m here for you.  Remember that always.”I guess the reason it didn’t get a fifth star is because I couldn’t ever forget I was reading a book.  For me what makes a book amazing is when I forget I’m reading and I just become another character or it’s like I’m watching it happen in real life.  However, in Break Me Wesley actually talks to the readers sometimes, then in other parts you are just an observer, then in other parts you aren’t actually sure what perspective you are reading from.  It’s not disconcerting or confusing, just it doesn’t allow you to forget that you are reading, at least it didn’t allow me to forget.  Otherwise I truly enjoyed this book and really look forward to the next book in the Make or Break series!!!*Free digital copy given in exchange for an honest review*Pepper, My Secret Book Spot
