We get just enough bizarre visions and sporadic memories to leave us completely baffled. The mystery of it all is what keeps this book alive, no question. All the while, Liv is trying to find out who she is, and in not long, what her parents are hiding from her. We have a girl who wakes up in a hospital with zero memories of her life, as soon as she’s awake her parents pack up and leave to start over in a new town. This is not to say that the book is bad–on the contrary, its mind boggling nature sucked me in until the very end, but the ending itself, as well as some plausibility issues I had with the whole story, does make it a lower end 4 stars. All the Broken Pieces reminded me a little of Slated which I had just read recently, though this one is a more contemporary, and we get answers! Reading two similar books so close together is bound to provoke comparisons, and I think because I was craving for answers that we never got in Slated, I enjoyed this stand-alone a lot more than I might have otherwise.
