Release Blitz: In Pieces by Gia Riley

Release Date: November 10, 2015

Synopsis

Rhett Taylor has a reputation to live up to. He’s the small town hero everyone expects to lead the team to victory. But looks can be deceiving, and the pressure unbearable – even after he confides in Kinsley West. She may not have been the obvious choice to others, but he chose her anyway. Thanks to her newfound popularity, Kinsley’s no longer living in the shadow of her older brother. For once, she has an identity of her own. But what builds quickly, often comes tumbling down. Piece by piece they find out how unpredictable young love can be. Can their love stand the test of time? Or will it be captured, only to be forgotten? A roll of film sets their story in motion. Each frame better than the last. But the real test comes when their whirlwind romance forces Kinsley to protect their secret – especially if she wants a future. Only Kinsley isn’t sure she can do it - not if she’s going to be left behind In Pieces.

My Review:

In Pieces is a tale of first love. It's more than that for Kinsley though, its the only somewhat normal part of her life. She's dealt with several blows in her short past and it has affected her life in many ways. She doesn't feel worthy of love or wanted. She feels like a burden to her family, especially her sister.

Rhett has liked Kinsley for a long time, and finally its their Senior year and he has to give it a shot. He will regret it if he doesn't. But Rhett finds that its not easy to start something with Kinsley, she's been through a lot and isn't exactly trusting.

In pieces is full of drama of varying degrees, there's circumstances surrounding Kinsley's personal life, the fact taht her brother is over protective, and a few other surprises along the way that I'm not going to spoil. I enjoyed the start of Rhett and Kinsley's relationship and their build up, their love story at the beginning was very well written and sucked me in. It gave me a bit of a nostalgic feeling. However, there were circumstances later in the book that seemed a bit contrived and for me, fell flat.

I would give In Pieces 3 and a half stars as it is, the characters are enticing, the young love fresh and full of feeling and the author was able to show me often how the characters were feeling and how they were coping with certain changes.
