Review of Tiny Pieces by Stephanie Henry
Aria and Cole are soulmates. Best friends. And their future is all there for them to step into. Until Cole breaks Aria into a million tiny pieces. 10 years later, she's still not over what he did to her, so when he moves back to their small town, she's unhappy to say the least. And when he keeps coming around, her friends, who happen to be his friends, too, seem intent on forgiving him and welcoming him back. Aria's not having it, though. She's got years of pain to keep her angry, and knows that letting Cole back into her life is just not something she can, or will, do. Until Cole begs for them to be friends, at the very least, and finally explains why he did what he did all those years ago. Can Aria possibly let him back into her life, even though, as before, he has the power to break her again?
I wanted to love Tiny Pieces, I did. Unfortunately, I don't love it. I don't hate it or anything, and it's not horrible or badly written. It's just depressing and a tad slow-moving. Nothing much happens aside from the two of them moping around with him being sad and her being angry. There are no big dramatic events. There's nothing much really. And then there's just a rush to the ending. The epilogue is sweet, though. Aria and Cole aren't particularly interesting nor are they well-developed. I'm afraid there's nothing really that stands out in Tiny Pieces. I guess though, because I don't hate it, and it's not horrible, 3 stars is probably fair. I can see the potential in this author's writing so hopefully if I read something of hers in the future, it will be a little more engaging and interesting.
