I really wanted to like A Thousand Pieces of You with a furious passion mostly because it would give a good reason to purchase it on a pretty hardcover edition and them I would stare at it all day (at least on weekends!) but, despite having a lot to go for, the overall feeling of this book is just… Flat.

This emotional, hilarious, devastating, and ultimately triumphant YA debut, based on actual events, recounts one girl’s rejection of her high school’s hierarchy—and her discovery of her true self in the face of tragedy.

Fall’s buzzed-about, in-house favorite.

Characters & Relationships: the thing that I most liked about this book is the complexity of its characters, they aren’t any character that can be classified as just good or bad, all of them have shades to their self & unique personalities.

This book turned out being a very different history than I was expecting to be – at least in the way it was executed since it had a lot more of a soup opera tone to it, but nonetheless this only made me like this book even more than I was expecting to.

Holy bleep, this book was good! I had decent expectations for this book, but it just blew them out of the water! Rebel Belle was fun and flirty, with a nice dose of action and magic. The main character, while maybe not the most likable, becomes really kick-butt! I loved the book and can’t wait for book two!
