With the quality of my recently read young adult fiction being so good, the universe has sought to balance my reading experience with very badly written new adult fiction. I feel like I complain about the quality of new adult fiction, and maybe it's partly my fault because you do get what you pay for (and I never pay much for this junk), but I'm still going to complain about it. Like so many before it, Unbreak Me's reviews are more enjoyable than the actual story.

Unbreak Me suffered from a few of the common new adult tropes: damaged heroine, famous love interest, love triangle, and secret past tragedy. If you want to know more commonly used cliches, see my review of Just One Song. More annoyingly, however, there are three different point of views: Maggie, Asher, and Will. Will's point of view felt very forced, and I genuinely didn't like any of these characters. I felt bad for Maggie, but I also thought she never stood up for herself and claimed responsibility for her actions. Asher was a good book boyfriend, but I actually preferred Will. He was sweet, solid, and totally in love with Maggie (though he definitely had his jerk moments, and it does seem a little sudden to want to marry Maggie's sister so soon after their wedding was called off).

I did think the plot unfolded in a very interesting way, and some of Maggie's past was unexpected and very sad. I just wished the novel had been put together in a more original and cohesive way. Also, someone looking over grammar and spelling a couple more times would have been nice. Not recommended!
