Release Date: October 27th, 2020
Genre(s): Young Adult
Synopsis:
Sometimes we have to let go of who we are to embrace who we can become.
Mason Vance is the guy everybody wants to be, and he knows it. He’s the best high school quarterback in New York, a shoo-in for a football scholarship at any school he chooses, and he’s expected to land in the NFL one day. That is, until a broken wrist leaves him fearing whether he’ll ever play again.
Desperate to save his damaged ego, Mason sets his sights on Lace. No cheerleader or homecoming queen like his usual type, she’s too wrapped in her own misery to fall for his pickup lines. Even though she tries to shut him out, she’s surprised to find he’s there for her when no one else is. Slowly, she lets him into the sad workings of her mind and less-than-perfect life, and Mason finds himself caring about Lace more than he’d ever thought possible. That’s why neither of them sees his huge mistake coming—one that instantly fractures everything between them.
Will Mason confront the ugliest side of himself, and in the process see who he’s capable of becoming, or will he fall back into the life he knew before Lace and his injury?
For contemporary young adult fiction fans, comes a bold debut that is raw, relatable, and real. Fractured is a moving tribute to the fragility of human nature and its ability to destroy even the most powerful connections.
My Review:
Fractured is a young adult romance that took me on an emotional rollercoaster. Shay Siegel talked about some heavy topics and did it in such a classy way that I think many readers will appreciate.
Mason is a star athlete. He gets the attention of all the girls in school and is a playboy. He suffers and injury that makes him question if he will ever get back on the field. This is a time in his life where nothing is going according to plan.
He meets a girl named Lace when is at a doctor’s appointment and she seems immune to his charm. She doesn’t want to like a jock like Mason, but they begin to form a bond as they are both dealing with difficult times.
This was such a good book because it was written well and I was emotionally invested. It isn’t always good times which I liked because it was raw and vulnerable. These are some great characters that Shay Siegel wrote. I was not a fan of Mason in the beginning but that changed by the end of the story. Lace was my favorite of the two. Her character development is great!
Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
I give Fractured 4 stars. It isn’t your typical lovey dovey YA romance. It has so much depth and emotion to the story that made it enjoyable to read. It does take a bit to see the good in Mason but it is worth the read.
