Review: Break to You

Break to You by Neal Shusterman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Adriana must endure seven months in juvie.  The only saving grace is she has been permitted to keep her journal.  When she misplaces it, she thinks everyone will know her secret thoughts.  She is relieved when she finds it, but unsure when she discovers that someone has written back … a boy.  Jon is in juvie for a different reason and this journal may be the connection to someone else that he has been craving.

Break to You is a stand-alone realistic fiction story that helps readers understand the juvenile justice system as well as some issues that lead teens to be in juvie.  Although this is written by multiple authors, I did not see any demarcations of when one was writing and when another took over.  The overall story was well thought out and I was fully invested in these two young people.  A great story for teens and adults alike.
