Breaking Nova - Jessica Sorensen

  WOW. Sometimes life takes us on this path that we never thought we's ever be on. Sometimes we are never able to get off that path because it's so much easier to stay on. Nova is one of the people that life has thrown on a different path. It started with the death of her father, then the suicide of her boyfriend; Landon. Quentin is also one of those people like Nova. His path was crooked from the beginning, but he tried so hard to be good, but his life takes a nasty turn. It started with the death of his mother at birth, to the death of his cousin and girlfriend. On the day they die, he dies with them too.
 These two people cross paths at the worst times of their lives. They both continue their tenuous journey into destruction together. I just wanted to say "Stop! This is not the answer" several times but they had to come to this realization themselves. They muddle through life using drugs as their escape and it's so hard to watch them being so destructive. They have something together. As much as two people on drugs are capable of having. I hope they are each other's savior.
 What can i say? I don't want to divulge everything in the book. It is really an amazing, sad, strong journey. A journey of realization. A journey of decision. Deciding if you want to stick on the path that life as put you on or if you want to deviate and rise above your trials and tribulations.
 As is becoming a common trend with Jessica Sorensen, the book is a two part novel. The sequel will be out in February, 2014. You can be sure i will be reading it. I want to see the epic conclusion of these two potentials. The first book is a sad, haunting, beautiful tale of growth and willpower. I can't wait to see more of the strength i saw in Breaking Nova in my two beauties.

Life is beautiful and worth living. We were all created for a purpose. It takes time to find  it sometimes and sometimes we are born knowing it, then life gets in the way. One of the many reasons we should celebrate being humans is because we have freewill and an abounding strength that makes us capable of breaking the bonds that life imposes on us. We are strong and even when we are weak, we have the ability to be strong. We are never down for the count until its over. Guess what? It's never over until our last breath.
