A review by danileighta
The Breakaways by Cathy G. Johnson

2.0

Hm, I rarely give poor ratings. Often if I don't have anything nice to say, I say nothing at all on here, but I felt this was worth reviewing. So, I appreciated some of the pieces of this story, but the full picture was just... confusing, disjointed, and did not feel whole. The character development was half way accomplished. Though there was plenty of implication of depth to the characters, the writing never quite made them real.

I can't recommend this book as one that will catch the imagination of the YA crowd. It did have great representation in many different ways, but there are books with much better stories and characters and illustrations that will be more worth your time.
