Broken Course By Aly Martinez


Coming soon

Seven years ago, my life changed forever. One accident and the person I saw in the mirror no longer resembled the woman I used to be. I was lost and confused inside my own body. I felt alone and disconnected from the world, carrying the incredible weight of guilt and loss that wasn't even mine to harbor.
Then fate led me to Leo James. He taught me that crazy could be perfectly normal and it shouldn't hurt to breathe. Don't get me wrong. Leo isn't perfect. He has his own cross to bear, and the truth is, that might be why I fell for him in the first place. But despite everything he does for me, learning to forgive myself is infinitely harder than overlooking the flaws of another.
Now, the secrets and lies of our past have begun to dictate our future—threatening to ruin us before we get the chance to try. Perhaps we were cursed from the start. Or maybe, just maybe, the remnants of our fractured lives will fit together to form one whole, where love isn’t questioned and being happy is…well, easy.
Can a second broken soul be enough to fill the voids of my own? Or will such scarred pasts prove too much for our love alone to overcome?


Gah, been waiting for this book for so long and it was worth the wait. I read it within two sittings. I'm so glad I was given the opportunity to review this before release day. 

It all started with amongst the Echos and Changing courses. It's in those books we see these two characters as two totally different people. Both are in bad places emotionally, and although they aren't in the best place in this book they are still in a much brighter place than they were originally. 

Depression hits people so differently and it shows you how in this book. I was so glued to this book. I really wanted Sarah to have a happy ending, so when I found out this book was going to be about her I was overjoyed. 
Leo James was the same after I read amongst the Echos. We got to read more into his story in this book which I absolutely loved.

The book is a long journey of two broken people trying to make it together as a couple. And as much as Sarah refuses to think she's good enough for Leo, I think she's perfect for him as I do he for her. 
They balance each other out and I know people shouldn't base a relationship on that, but with them it worked. 

You'll find yourself on more than one occasion agreeing with Sarah's argument to Leo, but also side with Leo's reason. This isn't usually like me. I usually take a side, but with these two, I found they were both in the right and in the wrong. Like I said. Balanced each other out. 

I liked the story as a whole, especially the ending. I don't want to ruin it, but let me tell you it's an awe moment. I was literally 'awe'ing' most the way through to the end. So adorable. 

It's an easy read, but with a lot of issues in it. Loved it though. Aly made it work for us readers in the best way possible. How she manages to bring so much emotion into a book is beyond words. It's a beautiful story. The ending is just proof of that, it had me crying happy tears for all the people involved in this series. It was nice to see that they were all where they were meant to be.
