Breaking Nova is a gripping and memorable tale of  life after loss. Nova and Quinton were both absolutely heartbreaking in their portrayal of dealing with losing someone you love. Not every page was easy to read but I couldn't help but be drawn into their tragic story."But sometimes stuff happens and we find ourselves lost, and suddenly we're standing in a place we don't recognize and can't remember walking-or falling-there, and we're unsure how to get back or if we even want to."Nova and Quinton are both dealing with loss in completely different ways. Nova is floating through life, a ghost of her former self. She is just going through the motions of life and waiting for each day to end. Quinton uses drugs and alcohol to hide from his guilt and pain. But not even moving to a new town can help assuage his guilt.Breaking Nova is so much more than a love story or new adult novel. It deals with the repercussions of love, loss, and and most importantly hope. I will say do not expect an ending all wrapped up in bow. Nova and Quinton's stories are complex and I truly think trying to put it in one book would have done the story a disservice. This is definitely not a lighthearted or fun beach read. The characters are sad, confused, and lost but in every way real and relatable. Breaking Nova proves that Jessica Sorensen is is force to be reckoned with in the New Adult world.
