All The Broken Pieces Review

All The Broken Pieces by Cindi Madsen

What if your life wasn’t your own?

Liv comes out of a coma with no memory of her past and two distinct, warring voices inside her head. Nothing, not even her reflection, seems familiar. 

As she stumbles through her junior year, the voices get louder, insisting she pleases the popular group while simultaneously despising them. 

But when Liv starts hanging around with Spencer, whose own mysterious past also has him on the fringe, life feels complete for the first time in, well, as long as she can remember.

Liv knows the details of the car accident that put her in the coma, but as the voices invade her dreams, and her dreams start feeling like memories, she and Spencer seek out answers. 

Yet the deeper they dig, the fewer things make sense. Can Liv rebuild the pieces of her broken past, when it means questioning not just who she is, but what she is?

First Thoughts

When I first started reading this I was so confused, but as it continued I started to understand it more. This is the kind of book you have to take everything in with, for example, you have to analyze the cover of the book, you have to make assumptions while you read it, and you have to really think about what you already know and what you're learning. So here's my honest review of this book.

Review

This book starts off very slow, for about the first four chapters. This is because it's the same three characters, having the same arguments/problems. The book doesn't really start up until she gets to school, then you get to read about all the anxiety she goes through and the challenges.

And then after that, its the same fight between the two voices in her head. Not until Spencer comes along does the book start to get interesting, because then it's a different battle she's fighting, she's fighting with Spencer and his moods. Which at times can be annoying and funny.

Overall this book has some good attributes, the relationship Spencer and Liv develop is nice, and the relationship she tries to maintain with her parents. But this book is quite slow, the thing that kept me going was I HAD to figure out if I was right about the "mystery." 

Rating

This book is suitablfor YA readers ages 12 and up.
