Thoughts: If you have read A Thousand Boy Kisses, this is the sequel and follows Poppy’s sister Savannah’s experience with grief. This book had me emotional within the first few pages of the prologue. I really enjoyed how grief was explored in this book and how each of the characters had their own way of grieving. If you enjoyed the first book, you will definitely enjoy the sequel too!

Synopsis: Can two broken hearts make a whole...? After losing her beloved sister three years ago, Savannah Litchfield has been living half a life. When Savannah’s therapist suggests joining a trip around the world for grieving teens she agrees to go clutching tightly to the unread journal her sister left behind. Seventeen-year-old Cael Woods is angry. One year after losing his older brother his life has spiraled. Once the most promising hockey player in the junior league, Cael can no longer step onto the ice. When his parents sign him up for a trip abroad no part of him wants to go. As Cael and Savannah embark on a journey they begin to find solace in each other. As they start to heal piece by broken piece, could this be the start of a love they never thought they’d feel again? A Thousand Broken Pieces is a beautiful and life-affirming novel about grief, love and friendship.
