She seems surprised. ‘If your husband is “on a break” from your marriage’ – she does the quotation marks with her fingers – ‘then aren’t you’ – more quotation marks – ‘“on a break” too?’

It should be a simple request. Noah is the king of Weybridge Academy, the heir to an empire and a serial heartbreaker. I’m just the new girl who grew up waiting tables.

Winnipeg, North End: Als Stella in jener verschneiten Februarnacht aus dem Fenster schaut, scheint sie zu erstarren: Sie beobachtet die brutale Vergewaltigung und Misshandlung einer jungen Frau. Stella schafft es, die Polizei zu rufen - doch als diese vier Stunden später eintreffen, glauben sie ihr nicht. Die Polizei geht von einer Schlägerei unter Gang-Mitgliedern aus, eine Vergewaltigung sei bei diesem Wetter draußen doch gänzlich unwahrscheinlich. Aber Stella weiß, was sie gesehen hat. Und am nächsten Tag wird ein Mädchen mit schlimmen Verletzungen in die Notaufnahme gebracht... This is where you can choose how detailed your table of contents will be. If you're writing a novel, you may only want to list the chapter titles in the table of contents (above). However, you can also choose to list your sub-headings as well (below).It is a theoretical work which sets out to be practical but is so skeptical in its approach that not much is actually adviced. This book opens up to a trigger warning to it’s readers but I felt that KATHERENA VERMETTE handled the violence very well and although some of the details was hard to read at times, was very sad and depressing it is an important piece of Canadian culture and I really appreciated the author giving a voice to these indigenous Manitoban women. What were you doing during your junior year in high school? Chasing boys? Cheering on the home team? Worrying about the perfect prom dress (or if you were even going to make it to prom)? Fighting with your parents because of their crazy restrictive curfews? How does one critique a book that has either won or been a finalist for every literary award in the land, is dubbed an Indigenous novel, and is the debut offering of a young writer positioned for great things in the literary firmament? Answer: Very Carefully. And yet no writer should be spared the observations that hopefully make for better work in the future. So, with that in mind, and mindful that I may also be the object of hate mail, let me try to do justice to this novel. The minute I read the premise, my eyebrows shot up. Who breaks bones for fun? Well, ladies and gentlemen, let me present to you: seventeen-year-old Jonah McNab.

It's a powerful book and one I'm very glad to have read. My lone peeve, though, was the incessant use of the F-word.🤬 I'm sure the author wanted the dialogue to be a true reflection of the current lexicon, but I found it unnecessarily repetitive. I mean, it was used many hundreds of times— so often it became distracting! And it's just such an ugly, offensive word.😝 I know a reader—and I'm sure there are others—who abandoned the book as its continual use became just too annoying to continue. However, aside from the one minor complaint, I thought The Break was an excellent book, and soon I'll be reading the sequel: ( The Strangers). Overall, I give the book... Emma went to a pawn shop to trade her precious glittering emerald ring that her step-dad gifted her and traded in for cash so she can gift her family a nice summer holiday trip. But the store refuses it because it was not a real emerald. However her grandma was able to surprise them to a trip to Spain by selling all her china ware .

Moskowitz had a really tight hold on the plot for the first three quarters of the book, so it was a shame to see it unravel all over the place like it did at the end. The book didn’t have that much of a plot, it was really simple. Which is never a good thing. And sometimes the romance kind of makes up for it if it was well written and draws you to the book. Except that wasn’t the case, the romance was sweet but nothing was actually there, it wasn’t intriguing like I thought it would be. I honestly just finished the book because I thought something interesting would actually happen. Spoiler alert.. I was wrong. At the front of the book there is a "TRIGGER WARNING: This book is about recovering and healing from violence. Contains scenes of sexual and physical violence, and depictions of vicarious trauma." I also enjoyed that Em's favourite author was Jenna Williams, who was obviously Jacqueline Wilson. I liked comparing the book plots and titles to real Jacqueline Wilson novels, haha.
