Using this for Broken 2 as it is not on here that I could find.


Better writing than the first book. The author was able to tell the story better with less unneeded details like the first book. Loved how the twist in the story was not a traditional twist for a romance story.

As the author keeps growing, going to become one to keep an eye on!

Read this book in one day. Glad I was able to find it on kindle u and paid the 8.99 to read definitely worth it.

This book was amazing. Hated that whole app thing that was very annoying and then couldn’t find the second book unless I paid 60$ a month for the app and I wasn’t doing that. But I really enjoyed this story mason was the bad boy on the rival team and she was heart broken for find her best friend with her boyfriend. It was fate and mason fell first and hard. He knew they couldn’t actually be together cause they go to school that hate each other but that couldn’t keep them away. Once school started back mason thought she didn’t want him since they slept together and she left without saying anything while he was alseep so he left her alone until her volleyball game and his friends laim and Brittany talked to lily at her game. To see why mason is so down and out all of a sudden since school started back and she didn’t know cause he wouldn’t talk to her They start dating and her school goes nuts with death threats from one of her close friends to her gay best friend completely mad at her she was on her way to masons game and end up being in a car wreck and that whole couple chapter had my stomach in a wad her mom is a complete bitch and any no damn way I would have anything to do with her with the way she acted after finding out her daughter was in a car wreck and bout died. But it’s was an amazing story!!!

Three stars is being generous but for what the story was, it was entertaining enough. I got hooked on this series after seeing it on BookTok and needed to know how it ended. While the writing often fell short and several plotlines felt unrealistic, I was invested enough in Mason and Lily to push through to their happily ever after. I likely wouldn’t have paid for the second book, but since it was included as a free download at the end of book one, I’ll probably skim it to see where things go.

Forbidden love between two people from rivaling high schools.

This is a great coming of age story.

A forbidden romance between two rival schools.

Two people destined to be together against all odds.

There are lots of sweet moments ans some heartbreaking moments too.

This is a quick read and I look forward to the next chapter in their lives.

solid 3 stars. but i genuinely loved the instant connection between the two main characters. however i do think the author’s writing style is were some stars were lost in my rating but thats okay. this book was so quick and easy to read and both the man characters were likable which was great.

Good but hard to find

This was a great book! I found it on FB and luckily was able to find the full story on Amazon, or I would've had to use Galatea, which Ive heard is awful. The beginning hooked me. Loved the characters. Very feel good, easy read that I binged in a day.

Very YA, but in the best way. My high school self would have eaten this up and been beyond obsessed with Mason Cooper. Such a fun, light, lovable read with twist and turns that feel so real to a senior in high school. A little surface level but I’m not even mad about it ☺️

Short & Sweet

It was a cute little story to pass the time. Nothing special but I like these reads when I'm needing something in between books that are series. It cleanses the palette so to speak.

Great quick read

Really great short book. Definitely a pallet cleanser. I enjoyed the relationships and dynamics of the friendships and enemies. Recommend.

Super cute! While some of details were cringy and extremely unrealistic, the story itself and the love between the two main characters was adorable !
