The Boy and Girl Who Broke the World by Amy Reed
5.0
The Boy and Girl Who Broke the World is one of those stories that you don't apply logic to, because if you did, it would be incomprehensible and completely rubbish. However, this does not mean it is not funny, charming and packed full of raw emotion.
Characters
Billy - Throughout the entire story, all I wanted to do was give Billy a hug. You know a kid's been through a lot when they adopt a TV therapist who they've never met as their grandma, and Amy Reed manages to write him in such a way that he doesn't seem like a pathetic spineless idiot.
Lydia - Another character that I just wanted to give a hug to. Her storyline ripped my heart to shreds, and it's nice to see a mixed lead that isn't a product of a previous ~forbidden romance~ plotline.
Caleb - An asshole, but a well written one.
Plot
Made zero sense. I loved it anyway.
