Summary:
Jessica Harper is the epitome of perfection. She’s a good daughter, makes excellent grades, and always strays on the safe side of life. The last thing she thought would ever happen was falling in love with her best friend’s brother. But sometimes fate just has a way of bringing two people together.
Wide receiver for the University of Arizona, Gabe Garcia, seems to have it all. When his feelings for Jessica come to surface, Gabe will give up everything to be with her.
But what happens when a tragedy abruptly changes the course of your life? For Jessica and Gabe, everything they thought they knew about each other will be questioned. Sometimes, there are scars in life that are cut too deep to completely heal.
Will their love prove to be unbreakable, or will it shatter and prove fate is just another lie?
Review:
Unbreakable was a really enjoyable NA novel. I love finding books where the main characters already have a history. It makes things even better if it's a best friend type of story. *happy sigh*
Needless to say, I love Gabe! This book is told from a few different points-of-view. First, we have Jessica, a young girl getting ready to graduate high school with her best friend. She's smart, funny, and in love with her best friends brother, Gabe. She has known Gabe most of her life and even lives with him and his family while her dad is away. FUN! They have some great times together and their friendship is ready to go to the next level.
Now, as for Gabe, yeah he is pretty incredible! He's sexy, athletic, and sweet. He's had feelings for Jessica for a while and they both seem to be in the place where those feelings are coming to the surface. I loved the family vibe in this story. I could really sense the connection between everyone.
But, even after Jessica and Gabe end up together, things don't stay perfect for long. Something happens that puts their love to the test. I won't do into details on it but it drastically changes their relationship and the way Jessica sees her life.
I was loving every single word of this book in the beginning. The scenes were super hot, the characters had personality and chemistry, and the plot was flowing nicely. That doesn't really change, but I just lost focus during the end of the novel. A new character steps in and I just didn't feel as connected with him or his story. He was okay, but his POV felt a little unnecessary to me. Either way, this is a wonderful New Adult novel and I do plan to read the next book in the series.
