This book started off really promising. The set-up is very intriguing with a lot of potential. I most of all loved the email exchanges between Landon and Jacqueline: they were cute and well executed.

Unfortunately, the story never really picked up and became rather boring. At a certain point I was convinced nothing else would happen other than Lucas and Jacqueline constantly staring at each other from across the room. Like come onnn, can something interesting between these two happen already? I mean, they never seem to be in an actual relationship with each other, and neither is there ever any real conflict or drama between the two of them. None of the revelations made between them (like for example Lucas being the same person as Landon) ever had any true impact. Their whole thing is just them… staring
However, there is of course drama going on outside of their relationship (i.e. rape), but it definitely needed some more depth, in my opinion.

I honestly think this novel could have been so much better if Jacqueline and Lucas would have switched POV each chapter or so, rather than the entire novel being narrated by Jacqueline. Their whole relationship felt a bit empty without knowing what was going on inside his mind (the chance of finally figuring this out might be the sole reason for me possibly picking up Breakable. Added, Jacqueline’s narration and emotions weren’t that profound or outspoken anyway. Therefore, I couldn’t seem to connect with and care much for anything in this novel. It fell flat and was dragged out.
