The Breakable Vow

Very Realistic

I Enjoy reading lots of books and this book seemed so real and it caught my attention from page 1. I recommend this book for those who love to read about drama like I Do.

such a true, heartbreaking story

i highly recommend this book. it is very realistic, and quite scary, knowing things like this happen on a daily basis. the book is about a girl in an abusive relationship with the father of her baby girl. it just tells about her struggles to basically survive. it is an amazing story, however i didnt care for the ending much.

Wow. An EYEOPENING Adventure

Annie is a normal girl, who is in an abusive relationship. I learned alot. How to identify, how to handle an abuser and how to get OUT! I didn't realize how common it is to find yourself in a relationship, where you think its normal for a partner to hit you.... I realized that I thought it was uncommon. I found myself still awake and reading at 1:15 in the morning. I was on my bed reading and crying... I wanted to stop reading because I felt bad for Annie and Mary and I wasn't sure how they were going to get away from Kevin. Most people say "Oh, they're just insecure about themselves." or "They're just in a bad mood." I wanted to keep reading because I knew that if it happened to me, I would know what to do. I learned just because you're a normal person, there's always a chance of abuse in a relationship. This book is an amazing way to educate yourself, not just on physical abuse, but emotional and sexual. Annie is a strong, independant woman, who overcomes a husband, who is abusive, she realizes she can have a life where no one is "Where were you? I'm going to kill you and me." I would recomend this book to anyone, male or female. It's an eyeopener to all. I even recommended it to my mom!

This Book ROCKS!

I read this book after my best friend read it. While she was reading this all she could do was talk about the breakable vow! nuthign else. So i decided to read it! Its pretty lengthy and i dont usually have the attention span for big books but i read this book in less then a week. She makes everything seem so real. When she wrote the fight scenes i could just picture it happening right in front of me! I could almost feel the same pain she was feeling! I laughed, I cried, I screamed, and I yelled at Kevin! ALOT! lol! This book was awesome and it would be so great for discussions! I deffinately recomend this book!

REALLY GOOOOOOOOD

This book was sooooooo hard to put down because it was so good. Everybody said that it was quite lenghty but i read it in less than a week. I literally would not put it down. I have 2 small children and while they ate, slept, played I read. I truly recommend it. It was like a really good movie and you decide when to stop reading.

Wow!

I loved this book. I first started reading it, just because i needed a long book for a report. But, this is by far the best book i have ever read! It's touching, exciting, and hopeful all in one...! I would defiantly recommend this book for everyone. My best friend, who doesnt even like to read, read this and loved it! Its kinda long, but worth every second. I just wish she had a lot more books for me to read!

best book ever!!!

I loved this book!!!Even though the ending was dissapointing...Other then that the book was SO good=]]

really good book!

The book is really good. I didn't like the ending. but overall i couldnt put it down until the end.

The Breakable Vow

Such a good book. my favorite book of all time.

One of the best books I read all summer

This is a wonderfull book. I read it over the summer and then reread it again and again. No matter how many times I read the part wheer he comes home and throwns a hammer at her and rapes her, I still get a chill down my spine when I read, 'The doorknob began to turn...' This is a must-read, and the tips on how to protect yourself from an abusive relationship are very helpful.

Excellent book!!!

The book was very good. It showed how an abusive realationship starts and how you can be drawn into it. The main character showed what someone, who is young and in trouble, acts like in an abusive situation it was a great book and held me at suspense to find out the ending.

couldn't put it down!

This book was the best book ever! It dressed alot of issuses that authors are afraid to address. In the beginnning, Annie was weak and foolish. Towards the middle and the end, she got stronger. She had to, she had a kid. I would never put myself in that kind of situation. My guy ever tries to hit me, i'll put him in a pine box, six feet under.

This book was good, but the main character was foolish

This book is about 2 teenagers who meet and fall in love.....yeah it sounds like a sappy love story but it's not. Annie is a typical teenager who has everything going for her until she meets Kevin. Kevin seems sweet until Annie sees his dark side, he is violet, jealous and can't control his rage. He accuses Annie over & over of cheating on him. Annie goes to a camp out trip and her and Kevin end up together, he promises not to get Annie pregnant but it happenes anyway and it forces them into a rushed marriage. Kevin's rage goes off the wall after he marries Annie. He starts hitting on her, pulling her hair, pushing her down the stairs and calling her names. I thought Annie was foolish for putting up with Kevin once in the book she sits there and let's Kevin throw metal tools at her head and kicks her in the mouth! Even though this book was fiction, the point was that you need to be careful who you choose to have a relationship with and what happened to Annie can happen to anyone.

You can't put it down

I bought this book for vacation a few months in advance, since I don't get much time to read. Well I made the mistake of reading a few pages and didn't put it down for an entire weekend. I even took it to a family bar be que. The story really made me think about how lucky I was to have a wonderful husband.

a wonderful teen read!

this book was outstanding, not only is it a great book for teens but also adults! a friend from school let me borrow her book for selected reading time and i read the first few pages and i was totally hooked! that same day i went out and got the book and finished reading it that weekend! its so good, its the type of book you get and can read over and over and over again! it makes you so much more aware of issues like that especially for the teens that are dating and may even be in an abusive relationship. it has a great storyline but its also a self- help book all in one! I love and it and it is definatinately a book to put on a top ten best books list!

Wow!

I just could not put this book down until I finished it! I was well writen and I started thinking alot for my future!

SOOOO GOOOOD

I could not put this book down! It was so well written and so relatable! I felt like I could have been Annie!! It was so real and opened my eyes to the horrors of dating violence!! Every woman in the world should read this book!!!

Well written.

Annie could hardly believe that handsome Kevin could be interested in her, but he was, and their romance moved along for three years. Both were committed to abstinance, until one night Kevin needs reassurance, and inhibitions melt. It was only once, surely nothing could happen. Annie thought it was done with when she went to confession, but not quite. It only takes once to make a baby, and so Annie and Kevin become reluctant, scared parents. Following a scholorship, they move to Texas. Cut off from her family, Annie is about to be in a place where she needs them more than ever. Kevin had often displayed a temper, and jealousy, but it's even worse now. Before long, Annie knows that even though Mary is the joy of her life, marrying Kevin was the most dangerous mistake she ever made. What's almost equally troubling is the fact that so many turn a blind eye or encourage her to try to make things work, even when he tries to kill her. .................. **** 'The Breakable Vow' is exceptionally well written and moving; however, parents should be aware that the content is graphic and troubling. If your teen can handle the mature matters dealt with, abuse, battery, etc, it's one they should read as a cautionary tale. The end of the novel has a section of faq's about abuse and battery that will be helpful to anyone who might be faced with such things. ****

A must read for adults and teenagers

I am a Police Officer in Arizona. Recently I attended a Domestic Violence Conference in Phoenix where I was introduced to this book. Unfortunately I did not bring enough money to purchase the book at the time, but I did get to read portions of it from a friend who did. I intend to buy this book for my daughters, so that when they begin to discover boys, that they might not get into such a relationship. The book is written in a way that the reader sees the events happening in a third person, but can relate the incidents to their personal life. I have heard of H.S. kids who have read this book and discovered similaraties in their lives and were able to make changes early in their relationships rather than later, after the damage has been done.
