Jade’s been crushing on him ever since kindergarten, when his family moved away. But now he’s back, and looking better than ever.
Hiding is a way of life for Jade, but Kiernan insists on uncovering the real girl he sees trapped inside her. On drawing her out of her shell, and showing her that she is someone worthy of love.

My Review:
My rating: 5 of 5 starsFalling to Pieces by Jamie Canosa is not a book to take lightly or read on a whim. Please prepare yourself for angst and pain and sadness. A beautiful story of love and friendship and how the compassion of one person can bring another out of her shell and the pain she doesn't even realize she's been feeling her whole life.
I do not want to give away any plot points - this is something you should experience yourself every step of the way.
As it is part of a series I'm curious to see where the next will go and who it will be focused on.
And that was a lesson, for better or worse, that I had a lifetime ahead of me to be grateful for.
