Best Kind of Broken Review...

SOMETIMES MOVING ON MEANS MOVING IN

Pixie Marshall wishes every day she could turn back time and fix the past. But she can't. And the damage is done. She's hoping that a summer of free room and board working with her aunt at the Willow Inn will help her forget. Except there's a problem: the resident handyman is none other than Levi Andrews. The handsome quarterback was once her friend-and maybe more--until everything changed in a life-shattering instant. She was hoping to avoid him, possibly forever. Now he's right down the hall and stirring up feelings Pixie thought she'd long buried . . .

Levi can't believe he's living with the one person who holds all his painful memories. More than anything he wants to make things right, but a simple "sorry" won't suffice--not when the tragedy that scarred them was his fault. Levi knows Pixie's better off without him, but every part of him screams to touch her, protect her, wrap her in his arms, and kiss away the pain. Yet even though she's so close, Pixie's heart seems more unreachable than ever. Seeing those stunning green eyes again has made one thing perfectly clear--he can't live without her.

"By turns humorous and heartbreaking, Best Kind Of Broken has become one of my favorites!"

--- CORA CARMACK, New York Times bestselling author of Losing It.

"You'll fall for Pixie and Levi, just like I did!"

--- JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT (J. Lynn), #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wait For You

"Tangled with friendship, history and heartbreak--not to mention a huge dose of

humor--Chelsea Fine's New Adult novel is not to be missed! Beyond an

incredibly HOT read, Pixie and Levi's longing for each other will have

you rooting for them till the very end."

--- JAY CROWNOVER, New York Times bestselling author of Rule

"This book destroyed me. Tore me into little tiny pieces. But somehow with

lots of laughs and some very steamy times, Chelsea put me back together

again! Chelsea Fine's style is witty, visceral and fresh. All I wanted

to do was crawl inside this book and live with the characters. And now

all I want is MORE."

--- CHELSEA M. CAMERON, New York Times bestselling author of My Favorite Mistake

"Sandwiched between laugh out loud moments and some serious heat, Best Kind of Broken is an unforgettable story of loss and forgiveness that will leave your heart aching."

--- LISA DESROCHERS, USA Today bestselling author of A Little Too Far

I give this book 5 stars.

This book is about a broken girl and a broken boy and together they are the best kind of broken. Something tragic happened to Sarah and Levi. Something that broke them physically and emotionally. This tragedy caused them to distance themselves from each other. And now during a summer off from college the two come together again to work at an inn. First of all I have to say that my favorite thing about this story were the nicknames they had for each other. Sarah was Pixie and Levi was Leaves. I absolutely adored this about them, and I loved that the author did this because we are so used to the "baby" and "babe" in books it becomes tiresome. The author did a fantastic job of capturing my attention from first page and never letting go. It was a beautiful story full of pain, heartache, misunderstanding but most of all love. Pixie is now my favorite heroine. I love her character and how she thought she was broken but in my eyes she was a girl who had gone through something horrific and painful and came out on top. Levi was hot and broody. He went through so much in the story. In reading I felt his pain and his loneliness. I loved how they came together and realized that even though they were broken and damaged they were the best kind of broken together. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends.
