On the Edge of Broken Pieces

By Elizabeth Arroyo
On the Edge of Broken Pieces by Elizabeth Arroyo digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

One moment changes everything.

Xander Morales is close to getting his big ticket out of his crappy life. All he needs to do is continue his therapy sessions, control his anger issues, and pretend that he's not hearing his dead sister's voice.

 

Should be easy, right?

Not when he finds himself drawn to the town's golden boy Olympic gold Medalist snowboarder, Wade Wilson. Wade is gay and comes complete with his own entourage of nosey followers, domineering mother, and handful of rich friends. The guy sends Xander's emotions into a nosedive.

 

But Xander's not gay.

Nope.

Except Wade makes him feel things he's never felt before and Xander finds himself leaning in for a kiss. That kiss. The kiss that would change everything he's ever believed about himself. And he does what he's been doing all his life. He runs. Because facing the truth of his feelings means giving Wade the broken pieces of his heart and it might just cost Xander everything.

 

Don't miss this emotional tale of a boy who faces his worst nightmare-snow-all for a boy he doesn't even think he likes. Fans of Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun by Jonny Garza Villa and Adam Silvera's The History of Us will enjoy this story about a boy who ultimately finds strength in family, friends, and love.

“On the Edge of Broken Pieces was a really heartwarming book. I enjoyed it a lot, and I would definitely recommend it to others. The characters were allright, and I personally was able to relate to Xander in a way. That's always a big plus in a book, when you can see a bit of yourself in a character. The author picked up a lot of hard subjects, including domestic abuse, PTSD, abusive relationships... It's always great to see them being talked about. The building of the main relationship was just so nice and sweet. Gaining the trust of the other person and slowly taking down the walls they built to hide behind, and still love them was heartwarming to read. The book did have its flaws, but they weren't anything that made the book unenjoyable. One thing that was kinda annoying was the name choices for some of the characters. Naming them after celebrities wasn't something I liked and I know a lot of people would dislike that too. The ending felt a bit rushed, but no book is perfect. Overall, I greatly enjoyed this book, and rate it a 4/5. Thanks to Netgalley for the arc!”
