BOOK REVIEW: Fragile by M. Leighton
Fragile by M. Leighton was a recommended read by a friend, a fantastic author herself.
I fell in love with the book and the writing within, almost immediately! The storyline involves a football-playing high school heartthrob, a teenaged boy named Hardy. Hardy appears to have it all; a gorgeous cheerleader girlfriend, a successful football career, popularity and friends galore. Hardy, however, has aspirations that may differ from the football scholarship path his father has planned for him. Enter a girl named Miracle. Hardy first happens upon Miracle in a park where she is about to release a red balloon...something meaningful to her (which plays into the storyline), but instead gives it away to a little boy that desperately wants it. Miracle is not only beautiful on the outside, but on the inside as well. She also happens to be a very sick girl. The story moves on from there. Hardy encounters quite a few life changing experiences. This story is so beautifully scripted and the characters brilliantly created with clarity, depth and feeling. This book is a must read. Once started, I could not put it down. A very moving and emotional book that has the power to take a reader into the depths of their very own soul. Absolutely LOVED this book! Brilliant work by M. Leighton!
