BLURB:
I met Cris when I was five years old. He was my brother's best friend. We started out as friends and eventually evolved to first kiss, first crush, first love. First everything.
I was an innocent little girl. Stupid. Naive. Cris and I promised each other forever.
Right then, we didn't know that promises were so hard to keep. I was corrupted, each piece of me smashed against my foolish and childish wishes. Who would have thought that my boyfriend would become the vivid incarnation of my own personal demon?
Crisanto Tauli and Phoebe Stephen were happy.
Until that day.
The day she can't seem to remember, and he can't seem to forget. The day that she, ruled by her fears, left him. The day that she broke both of their hearts.
Now she has to face him, and her secrets, once again.
TRIGGER WARNING! DUE TO MATURE CONTENT, THIS BOOK IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR READERS UNDER THE AGE OF 18.
I am a huge fan of stories that grow from childhood friendships to lovers. Broken Heart is an emotional read that touches on a very difficult subject matter. I think the author does a good job of telling a very traumatic story. One night changes everything for Cris and Phoebe. She can't remember what happened but her mind tells her to protect herself by shutting everyone out. There is only one person who can reach her and get her to open up, but he is also the person that her family thinks is responsible for her sudden change in character.
I enjoyed the story and characters. I thought the story progression was good. There were a few spots in the book that stalled a bit but not enough to put you off reading. There is also another story inside this one that I really would have liked to know more about. It kind of distracts you from the main characters a bit because you want to know what is going on with these other characters. Overall it is a good first book by a new author and I look forward to reading more from her in the future.
