PHEWWW.
Holy. I don't even know what to write. I just finished this book, and honestly, I am in a mix of emotions right now. Let's start at the beginning:

I didn't want to read this book. You know how when you get a lot of books out from the library and tell yourself "I'm going to read this book, and then this one, and then this", so on? So I got out quite a few and decided to start with this one because it just happened to happen like that.
I had to CARRY myself through the first like 5 or 6 chapters because I was reading it and was realizing that it just didn't appeal to me. I was just not going for this vibe. Questioning why I even picked it up in the first place.
I wanted to take another book, it was that bad. But because I have this thing where I can't move on without finishing one thing first, I forced myself to read it. And boy did I get lost in it.

After the first, let's say, third, of the book, I couldn't put it down. You know, sometimes the blurb/summary of the book doesn't do grace for the book. It's so much more in depth than what the blurb is telling you. So many twists, relationships and friendships, bonds.... This book had me in the feels. The best friend friendship in this book just KILLED me in the end, I was so annoyed that things worked out the way they did, but that's for you to read.

For those of you wanting to read this book, don't give up. The first couple of chapters may seem like they're confusing with all the new characters and references, but you'll get the feels of it pretty quick. Read half of it and then a little bit more and then you won't be able to put it down. (Yes that's like 2/3, but you need the 2/3 to have a good understanding of the remaining 1/3).

It's worth it. Oh hell it is.

How to Break a Boy had me up til 1 am yelling "WHAT ARE YOU DOING" and "YESSSSSSSS" at literally every single character besides maybe Claire who is a total marshmallow.

This is a book that demands a pack of beer, a bowl of popcorn, and a box of tissues.

**Honestly, with the release coming up on us, I've been thinking about this book A LOT (a friend was yelling about the ARC I sent her and I ended up mentally and EMOTIONALLY revisiting it). Devore is one of the BEST new voices in contemporary YA. Some of her scenes are so raw, but there's also plenty of humor and good lord WHIT, MY CINNAMON ROLL SON.

Anyways, so looking forward to any future titles from this author. Stellar.
