This is one of those books that breaks you down, brings you back up and keeps you there. There was so much manipulation happening that made it so enticing. This couple was really destined to be together even after all that had happened between them. I would not wish that journey on anyone but if it ended up exactly the way it was supposed to, with being a couple at the end, the journey was well worth it.

Beautifully Broken by new author Bailey B. Was a delight to read. The two main characters, Piper and Rex, just fit so well - it was as if they brought light into each other’s lives. I’ve always loved reading about imperfect characters because it just makes them feel more real. Piper and Rex are definitely not perfect. They’ve gone through a lot of hardships in life which just makes it even more satisfying when you come to see how much they’ve grown. The other characters (Cooper, Logan, and Bane) were fun to read about too, I feel like there’s more stories to tell about them. Overall a really enjoying read!

Beautifully Broken by Bailey B was both an emotional and heartbreaking read as it was sweet and charming. Piper has not had an easy life and that is an understatement. She has suffered so much and does not want to live anymore. Rex is a child of a celebrity, but even so, life has not been easy for him. He may look like he has everything he could possibly want but looks can be deceiving. Though there are rampant rumors about her, she intrigues Rex. He wants to get to know her. Can she open up her heart to Rex and trust it will be in good hands? I absolutely loved Rex. He was sweet and gentle with Piper.

Beautifully Broken by Baily B was emotional as Rex and Piper deal with so much and yet when they were together it was unbelievably sweet. But their journey is not an easy one. I was captivated by this story from start to finish.

Beautifully Broken caught my eye because I relate to the broken more than anyone else. And then I read the blurb…and I was sold. I have no regrets. Bailey is a new author but you couldn’t guess from her writing. She has gifted us a beautiful, well thought out story, where everything is where it should be.

Rex & Piper feel real to me. Their story isn’t forced, there’s no storm of unnecessary bullshit keeping them apart for dumb reasons. Thank the lord! Instead, Beautifully Broken has a very real, very dangerous storm (that’s all I’ll say). Bailey perfectly pens the tension and uncertainty of falling in love. Rex & Piper share this wholesome, fragile, insecure love that we don’t often experience in YA/NA. And I love to see it.

Although Piper harbors a lot of darkness and bad memories, Beautiful Broken shows that relationships don’t have to create more of that. Falling in love doesn’t have to be toxic, dramatic & difficult to watch. It doesn’t have to give you more anxiety. Love can be a place of hope & healing. This book is a win for the beautifully broken.

Back to Piper’s darkness, Bailey handled her past trauma & wrote her anxiety really well. I’m impressed. It looks like Bailey just wanted to do everything right for us. Another thing done right is the story length I’m really happy that Bailey didn’t drag things out. There’s certain story-lines that I wish we could explore more like Piper’s relationship with both Cooper & Logan, as well as Rex’s family ermmm… situation? But I’m just being greedy. Ultimately, they’re a small sacrifice for the perfect pace. And this story feels complete without those pieces.

This is the story of two broken HS Seniors who find each other. Piper and Rex are both damaged in different ways, but are able to heal together. They’re relationship is sweet and I’m glad they both got a happy ever after!

First, I want to say that Bailey B is a new author. Because of that, I’m more than happy to be able to read and review. Being a new author is tough. You have to have thick skin to deal with the reviews of those that may hate your book. I have a lot of respect for authors that are new and put themselves out there.

Beautifully Broken is about a young girl who has dealt with a dead beat druggie as a mom. Piper is in all sense of the word, broken. She has a great foster family, who always has her back. Though, it isn’t until Rex walks into her life that the pieces are put back together slowly. Rex is her savior, who teaches her what it is like to feel and be loved.

This was a great novel. It held my attention and I didn’t want to put it down. With work and children, I finished this book in less than two days. That’s how good it is. My heart broke for Piper and everything she had gone through, and I instantly fell in love with Rex, who protected her before he even knew her. It’s definitely worth it to pick this book up and read it. Bailey B is going to do great things.

All thoughts and opinions are mine

I don't like to give synopsis of the story but I will say I found this an emotional read

I loved the story - couldn't put it down. I really was engrossed by the book - lots of ups and downs and a very satisfying ending

Highly recomment

I was given an ebook copy of Beautifully Broken in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I am not going to give too much information about this book. The reason being that you should read it for yourself.

Here's what I will tell you: Piper is from the wrong side of the tracks. Junkie mom, no money, and the school outcast. She suffers from an anxiety disorder that stems from PTSD. Rex: famous father, parents are always gone, raised by his nanny, rich, popular, but also a loner. This is a beautiful story about two beautiful, broken people. It shows how love can prevail. How family doesn't have to biologically related. And sometimes kindness, patience and love can heal even the most broken people.

I read this book in one sitting. It was the saddest, oh my gosh, sad and happy tears, and then throw in a happy ending kind of book. Some parts were pretty crazy. However, I can't recommend this book enough. I believe that if you read it, you will love it.

Broken people can be put together with the right glue (love).

This was a very emotional read. I can’t imagine going through what Piper went through. I hope the other characters get their own stores.
