He tries very hard not to care about anything. He quickly learns that fighting is an effective of a drug as the alcohol he imbibes all too frequently. He moves into a small closet as his bedroom and starts at a new school wearing ill fitting clothes, bracelets to cover wrist scars, and too long hair to hide his eyes.

Easy is Jacqueline’s story and not just a romance but a tale of sisterhood. It is a whole story, but this one focuses on the male character. I don’t think that you have to read Easy to understand and follow Breakable.

The answer to the other question “whether an Easy fan should read this” is I don’t know. Would Breakable ruin my Easy experience and memory? The answer I can give you is no. However, Easy was one of my favorite books in 2012 and when I was sent Breakable, I had to read it but I did so with great trepidation.

The trend toward Alt point of view stories is not my favorite as I like to have been told the whole story in one sitting.
