This book is honestly just the author trying to capitalize off of an amazing book with an unnecessary spinoff. If you don’t want to ruin A Thousand Boy Kisses for yourself don’t read this book.
I can’t count the amount of times I rolled my eyes while reading; I feel like this book was written for angsty 12 year olds.
I honestly feel like Savannah and Cael’s relationship was toxic and codependent. The whole relationship seemed extremely rushed and it felt like more of a trauma bond than a relationship. Cael’s ego was also painfully big. We get it, you’re above 6 feet tall; athletically built; and the best hockey player in the history of ever even though you haven’t conditioned or been on the ice in over a year, you don’t need to mention it CONSTANTLY.

*I received a free copy of A Thousand Broken Pieces. This has in no way influenced my voluntary review which is honest and unbiased.*
Oh my gosh. This book was beautiful. Very, very sad at times, as the ocean of my tears can attest for, but still truly beautiful. I was in this book from the very first page (and yes, I was crying by page two) because the writing just brought me straight into the Litchfield family. Savannah just broke my heart in so many ways, because grief is hard!
I think Ms Cole has found a beautiful way to talk about grief, to talk about difficult subjects surrounding grief, and to let all those who read this book liberate some much needed tears. I know I needed to cry, and Savannah and Cael definitely helped me with that. I think it's important to have read A Thousand Boy Kisses before reading this one, because I think you need to know the Litchfield family as a whole before seeing how Savannah is doing, and also understanding why.
If you are not afraid to read a book that packs a punch, and you want to see how different people deal with their grief, I think A Thousand Broken Pieces is the book you should pick up. One of the things I love about reading about difficult subjects is that I can deal with my feelings in the safety of my own home.
