The Walls We Break by Katelyn TaylorMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was so beautiful, it's hard to put into words.
If you are new to my reviews you'll notice I am 1. Not a Sports Romance Person 2. Not a Sappy romance person 3. Hate the single mom trope. 4. I never cry in books. 5. I rarely read books with a southern character because I'm southern and well... yeah.. not normally going to happen. For more me: Instagram.
Do you know what Katelyn did here, she basically said "hold my drink and watch this."
I adore this book and she made me love a book that would usually be absolutely not for me. I loved Loyalties and so, of course, I wanted to continue but when I saw the tropes I was hesitant. Do not let that get in the way of a fantastic story!
This story is so different from Loyalties and that is a relief because while you want them to all go together, you will also get bored reading the same story repeatedly. She made this a standalone worth its weight. You can read this story without reading Loyalties if you wish and nothing will be missed. She gives just enough information without ruining the first book for the characters.
She even made me love a cinnamon roll MC, not that he is complete without teeth because he absolutely has some. I love Declan. When it comes to Vi, honestly, I don't know if I have ever read an FMC that I truly truly love and feel like she is me in a fictional format. But here we are.
There is a part that made me sob like a baby at 2 am and let me tell you there are only two other books in this world that have made me cry as of now. This book is now number three. I loved the sappiness of it, I loved the heartbreak and I just love this book.
I finished reading and this was pretty much my expression:
Tropes
- Sports Romance
-Single Mom
-He Falls First
-Emotional
Trigger Warnings
- On-page Domestic Violence
(physical, psychological, neglect)
- Trauma
-PTSD
-Attempted SA
-Custody Battle
- Explicit Sexual Scenes
- Explicit Language
Thank you so much to Katelyn Taylor & her PA Skarlet for the opportunity to read and review this book. While this was an ARC copy, the thoughts and opinions are strictly my own. Lord knows I have too big a southern mouth for them not to be.
