So yeah! We Come Apart is honestly a beautiful book, a bittersweet romance that follows themes of bullying, love and abuse. I’m a pretty big Sarah Crossan fan though and these are my top favouite picks: Not everyone likes it, but it’s definitely worth trying a book in verse! The stanzas don’t have to rhyme or anything and if an author uses it like properly it gives a really good effect ( I knoIf you’ve read it let me know! It is Sarah Crossan and Brian Conaghan’s signature styles. We Come Apart is written in verse, sort of like short poems, an example of which is in the picture above. However, occaisionally they overdid messing up the words and I’d have to read the passage a few times to understand it. He seemed really naive and when he got certain metaphors wrong it was really poignant. It was written as if Nicu couldn’t quite speak English properly, so the sections from his perspective were slightly muddled up but it gave a really good affect. You really don’t get enough YA books about male refugees and I though he came across really well. The book follows Jess a girl with a dark home life and a Romanian refugee called Nicu. And not only that but the story line was amazing too: We Come Apart is a much needed book for the 21st century. Everything about was so bittersweet and beautiful there were hidden meanings in every single interaction. One of my favourite endings for a long time. And then THE ENDING! If you’ve read it too, please let me know what you think… honestly.

The plot was relatable and quite simple, but was so original and then unexpected. It just captures so well the feeling of love – for both family, friends and boyfriends – and was written so cleverly.
