Michelle Heard ● Things That Break Us

First and foremost I would like to thank Michelle, her publishers Montlake and also NetGalley for giving me the chance to read this book as an arc. This isn't my first book that I have read by Michelle and it sure won't be the last book that I will read of hers. 

Did I struggle with this book? Yes I did struggle not with the book itself but it wasn't because of the book, it's because really in real life we are living through the facts that my mums cancer has returned and that it is incurable. So it kind of hit a little close to home. 

But did I enjoy this book? Even though it broke me, and I mean completely utterly sobbing mess broke me, I really did enjoy reading this book. It was a really good read and the characters are all amazing!

Something that you will need to do before you read this book, is to buy a box of tissues. Why you ask? Well I will tell you know that you will definitely need these throughout the books. So many emotional moments I had bawling my eyes out, and being broken.

I wasn't ready for Nova & Rachel's story to end, and I wasn't ready to say goodbye to Rachel that there is a fact. I guess when you look at loss you think more of everything else, you wonder was enough time spent with that person and so on. 

The plot, the characters, the way it's written and everything else was so well done. This book was also very unputdownable, and once you start reading you get this I really don't want to stop. I need to know what's happening and what will happen and so on.

Will I recommend this book to people? For a starters even though she will hate me for it, I am going to make my bestie Lee read this, I already recently broke her with the book "You've Reached Sam by Dustin Thao" and I know for a fact that I am going to completely wreck her with this book. 

I know that I have not written about much that happens inside of this book, there is a really good reason when you read some of my reviews/blogs that don't have spoilers and so on about what is in the books. That is because to me I feel like if you have information you will ruin it for the person who will read it, cause they will know some of the things that happen especially the good parts. 

I was going to insert quotes etc but they're all on my old phone with my notes that broke in December, so I have just had to go without inserting my favourite sentences/quotes that I loved. 

Since then I am now using the bookmory app for my reading, why am I loving this app more than the goodreads and so on even though im still using the others. Well that is because while you set the book you are currently reading you can insert notes throughout your reading timer while it is going, you can pause your reading timer and also it can track where your up to and everything else. The other bonus is you don't lose your notes either they stay.

Another thank you again for letting me read this, and I cannot wait to see what else you bring us in 2026.
