4.5 starsBroken Ties is the prequel to the unique Mentalist Series. In this series, it follows an averter, Gemma, who is been learning about the power to change an outcome. This story is about Gemma's father, Paul Colt. Paul is a 16-year-old boy who has been head-over-heels for a girl named Nora. Never would he think that she might have feelings for him too. Both Paul and Nora were forbidden to date, but simply for different reasons. Paul was an Averter and would be assigned someone to be with, so he wasn't allowed to fall in love. But he still did.Personally, I liked this story moreso than Averter and Sentient. I loved Paul and Nora! It was so cute and even though, they seemed to fall for each other quickly, they've had a crush on each other for a while. Having been a 16-year-old at one point, I know what it's like to have a crush on someone you know from afar. Also they are both very likeable. Paul liked her so much that he even quit smoking for her. Now there's a guy worth holding on to.I really wish this story was longer! It cuts off so abruptly, and you will have to read Averter to find out what happens to Gemma's mother, Nora. I wanted to read more about their journey. I wanted to read more of their interactions with each other and their conversations. This book makes me long for more! So I really disliked the ending.Even though it's such a short story, I felt I knew the characters. The observations that Paul and Nora had of each other told the reader so much about them, in my opinion. They might be naive teenagers, but it's cute, and I enjoy a cute love story. It was very well-written and flowed very well. I was rooting for those two from start to finish.Overall, I enjoyed it, but I really wish it was longer!
