Breaking Point by Shane Brown
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I am not sure how this little gem landed on my TBR list but I´m glad it was there.
This is a great YA read.
A book about bullying and homophobia in high school.
The victims, the by standers, the once inflicting the violence, the ones that try to stand up for the kids.
Life and stories that come together creating a great book, dealing with some very difficult issues.
Seeing James and Paul, the two MCs, finding their way back to each other, learning to forgive and forget, overcoming all the difficulties.
Paul being so scared to face who he is and his feelings that ends up fighting the only thing that is real and positive in his life. Victim of his own cowardice.
Watching Mr. Green, the one and only teacher that cares about his pupils even after class has ended.
Jason, the master mind behind the hate, so unsatisfied with his own life that you might be even feel sorry for him at one point.
Luke, the one that gets stuck in between and doesn't even know how to get out of the gang.
And it also covers the parents, the ones that don´t see the signs or don't want to.
It doesn´t get the 5* because of the many edit mistakes, one even confusing the names of the character at the dinner table.
