Yet very difficult regarding new adult literature, I let myself be tempted by this saga because the summary was not bad, and rather positive ratings. I must admit that I am not as enthusiastic as most readers, and I finish reading this rather disappointed.
The narrative alternates between the point of view of Maggie and William Asher. I love this kind of process (especially in the ballads) but now I do not see the interest from the perspective of William. Honestly, there is no use.
The author wanted to play the card of mystery, giving us a hero with a troubled past. One wonders constantly what has been happening so it comes to that. Unfortunately, the revelations are not up to par. The author wanted to give too much importance to certain things, and not enough to others. The key event of the past Maggie is treated badly, as if it was unimportant. In addition, the personality of the young woman who is supposedly a direct result of this event, is not at all consistent. Unfortunately, I can not explain more, lest you say too much and you spoiler.
Maggie is not at all the type of heroin which I can identify. This is a young woman completely clueless, who hate and who uses sex as a kind of shield. I struggled to attach myself to her and her reactions often have upset me.
As for Asher, it made me neither hot nor cold. It certainly has an endearing side because we feel that he wants to do with Maggie, he wants her to feel special. However, we do not know much about him and his character is not enough work.
The relationship between Asher and Maggie did not make me dream and did not touch me either. In some ways, their relationship is full of emotion (their injuries, how Maggie Asher wants tame), but most of the time their exchanges is limited to Maggie attempts to Asher in bed (and more than one Once I found it pathetic).
Hot scenes between the characters are too vulgar. This is often the case in the new adult genre but the fact remains that this is a process that ruffles my hair. Why bother necessarily use bad words? The same goes for some scenes of dialogue, where "damn" and "hell" become downright linking words. I'm not particularly against vulgarity in a book but then it becomes tiresome.
To conclude, "Unbreak me" is a novel that is not unusual in the adult new landscape. I was disappointed by the characters lack depth, and their history is not transported me. For my part, I will stop there and I do not think read on.
