We Come Apart by Sarah Crossan and Brian Conaghan

In this book we meet Jess, caught shoplifting when out with her so called friends whom help to really put her in the mess she winds up in. Unhappy at home with her mum and stepdad whom seems a sleazy guy whom commits severe domestic abuse.

We also meet Nicu, escaped to Britain whilst his parents try to find him a wife back home for him who's suitable for which they'd return home eventually for them to marry after earning enough money.

As the pair both partake in an ordered community service charge of cleaning the community they meet, but both hide their secrets from the other until they start to hang out more, coming together before they get brutally ripped apart by a tragic act of self defence but too serious to ignore...

A tragic love story of right blooming out of wrong doing as the pair fall into their very short love story. Told in verse it was quick to read and the action flowed featuring an array of important topics from refugees, immigration, kleptomania, domestic abuse and general life wrong from right.

This book will haunt your memories of books you've read as you'll never find one like it again, I'm sure.
