Break, by Hannah Moskowitz

This book required the creation of a new tag, "bad medicine." God knows many books have merited it in the past, but none more than this one. It is also the only book I've ever read which would have been improved by adding more vomit

I smell poo. I won't be reading this one...

This is sounding as wacked-out, in a different direction, as some of the YA Christian books that want to show you the Evils Of The World.

[tekalynn]

Sounds utterly vile. Thank you for reading it so I don't have to.

What is the ridiculously implausible ending plot twist, for the sake of everyone who doesn't want to suffer through this whole thing just to see how bad it gets? XD

[rachelmanija]

Nom is getting it on with the allergic brother, to the horror of Jonah, who shrieks that she was just eating pizza and her kisses might kill him.

[tekalynn]

What, and then cliffhanger? Argh.

[rachelmanija]

No, then... I may be getting the timeline confused, but I think Jonah then staggers out and collapses from osteomyelitis and lands in the hospital and then everything's fine.

Yeah, I read the summary and thought it sounded outrageously stupid. I also read a blog post somewhere on the interwebs by the author... and if I'd had any inclination to read her stuff, I would have lost it then.

[rachelmanija]

I forgot to mention the part where the allergic brother becomes anorexic.

[lady_ganesh]

That part at least sounds somewhat plausible, if you'd spent your whole life being told that ingesting pretty much anything would kill you.
