“Good night, Savannah,” Cameron calls, sounding sad.But I say good-bye. Because I have nothing left to give him. This book was special. I loved how complex and light-years away from perfect the characters were— it made them feel real.Having a contemporary story without meet cutes and happily ever afters was absolutely refreshing. And even though I can imagine certain readers being triggered by this book, I binge read and adored it.

This was a very emotional read at times and while I usually adore Young's writing and her characters, I didn't connect with this like I would have liked to. The MC was a little brash at times, especially language wise with her little brother and maybe it is the mom in me, but I didn't like it and it sort of made me not like her at times even if I did feel bad for her. I also didn't love all the abuse that happens in this and that there were no real consequences for any of it. It just wasn't righ...

I've had a mixed relationship with Young's book this year but I think this one is my favourite. She just has a great way with characters, and this one definitely hit me in the feels.

This book. Dear Lord; I keep thinking if I put off reviewing it that I can pretend I’m not finished with it. I seem to be avoiding some sort of finality and have been wrestling with whether or not I should toss my current reads aside, pick All in Pieces back up, and reread it until my heart decides I can move on. It’s been over a year since a book kept me captive to the point of not letting me immerse myself in a new read (Night Film was the last one); if possible, I would give this book somethi...

4 STARS [image error] This is the first book I have read by this author and I’m happy to report it was an overall enjoyable experience. Minor issues that held the book from getting a full five-star rating would be: I felt that the police should have been involved in one situation and felt that it was a fail on all the adults. Then there’s the fade to black sex. However, as a YA read goes, this was a good read for me. If I was asked what book this reminded me in the feelings category I would have...

Unexpectedly emotional, sweet and inspiring. At first I didn’t think there was going to be more to the story than an angsty teenage girl with anger management issues but soon I learned it was so much more. It was about a girl who had to take responsibility over her special 7 year old brother without or barely any parental supervision. It’s about a girl whose friends are also troubled, they even had to be sent away for rehab, a girl who almost seemed to have lost interest in living her own life u...

Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || PinterestOh my God, this was so good. So the premise of this book is basically "Bad Girl gets sent to Bad Kid School for stabbing her douchebag ex in the hand with a pencil for calling her younger brother the R-word. Finds love-- and herself." Which sounds cheesy as fuck, but it was really, really, really well done.Really!With books I really love, I almost can't be bothered to write a normal review because I just want to scream incomprehensibly i

I have loved all of Suzanne's words, so I was ready to read this without even knowing what it was about. I loved Savannah. She's trying so hard to keep things under control, but life has other plans. She has some great friends who also have problems, but I loved the family dynamic between them. And Cameron? Yeah, I was halfway in love with him from the first couple of scenes and as the book progresses, it was full blown. I loved how strong and supportive he was for Savannah. The overall plot is

“There is scarcely any passion without struggle.” ----Albert CamusSuzanne Young, the New York Times bestselling author, pens a realistic and enticing tale about teenage issues in her new book, All in Pieces that revolves around a young female teenager with anger issues arising from her home front that lands her up in a detention high school, after her violent fight with her ex, and now she holds tightly on to her little mentally challenged brother, even though her aunt is threatening to take h

you can also read it HERE---I have so many emotions for this book, because of this book. This was raw and heartbreaking and adorable and amazing and it's everything I've wanted in a contemporary novel. If Suzanne Young wasn't an auto-read & auto-buy author before, she definitely is now.Savvy's in a temporary detention center. After stabbing her ex-boyfriend's hand, everyone from her old life thinks she's got issues. While things aren't perfect there, she has met two great friends there, along wi...

**TRIGGER WARNING: RECKLESS USE OF PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL ASSAULT MULTIPLE NAUSEATING TIMES AS A PLOT DEVICE TO SERVE FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO GET THE MAIN CHARACTER AND THE LOVE INTEREST TOGETHER. **Ugh. These are the stories that I hate. The ones where the obscenely hot, rich, and darkly mysterious boy sweeps in to save the poor, miserable girl from her pathetic life, solving all her problems while giving her a dose of self-worth and happiness that she couldn't have possibly found on her own.L...

While I loved this book and hopefully will post a mini review very soon I have to rant about the cover; The girl in the book is a redhead but in the cover she's blonde, like why do they do this? 🤦🏻‍♀️

This review was originally posted on Andi's ABCsIt isn't often that you get the privilege of reading a book that wraps you up in the story so much that you actually forget you are reading. Usually when I read I'm aware there is a book in my hand, aware I'm flipping pages on my Kindle, aware that I'm reading fiction. All in Pieces was one of those rare occasions where I forgot I was reading. I forgot that I wasn't part of the story. I forgot it was fiction. I forgot everything but the beauty of t...

BLOG REVIEW:https://passthefeels.wordpress.com/20...**Possible trigger warning for sexual assault** All in Pieces , although a little slow at the start, was fantastic.I thought for sure I was going to rate this a 3 star book, but the middle and the end, just wow, it really picked up!Seriously, I finished it at 2am. Does that need more explanation? *heart eyes*----------There were so many different aspects and things that were dealt with in this novel, and I believe they were done really well.W...

This is a sad but hopeful story - about the aftermath of a mistake, a broken home and when life tries to push you down. Savvy has it rough. Her mother walked out and she's taking care of her little brother. And she's been relegated to the "for troubled teens" high school. She's made mistakes, she's angry and defensive. She's violent and quick to anger and swing. She isn't the most likable character but she does have heart. And you can see it in her interactions with her brother and her two best

I believe that Suzanne Young is one of the most underrated authors in young adult fiction. Why she is not a mega-superstar lies beyond my comprehension.

THIS WAS SO GOOD!!! Such great poverty rep and I LOVED the main characters. Also a very quick read since I read it in a day. HIGHLY recommended.

AGHHH i don’t know whether to give it a 3 or 4 star. like it emotionally touched me a bit but on the other hand it was not super original, but i had a “good” time. as good as you can with books like this. i guess i’ll go with 4 for now.

I really enjoyed this one! I liked that it was a different sort of setting than you normally see — an alternative high school — and I got to meet characters (labeled as “troubled”) that I don’t often get to meet in YA. And it made me cry — my heart felt heavy a lot reading this book. Savvy’s home life is hard and she takes on so much for her age but her love for her brother and her desire to take care of him made my heart swell. That whole storyline…it killed me. I also really enjoyed Savvy’s gr...
