About the Author
Tammara Webber, New York Times bestselling author of Easy, is a hopeful romantic who adores novels with happy endings, because there are enough sad endings in real life. Before writing full time, she was an undergraduate academic advisor, economics tutor, planetarium office manager, radiology call center representative, and the palest person to ever work at a tanning salon. She married her high school sweetheart, and is Mom to three adult kids and four very immature cats.

Dear Tammara Webber,
You once introduced me to the book that would make me fall in love with a brand new genre: New Adult. That book was Easy and it blew me away so much that I’ve read it just as much as the first Harry Potter book.
Now you’ve followed it up with Breakable and I just have to say a few things first:
- I believed in your talent, but Easy was perfect and I didn’t think you could make another perfect book to match that elite level;
- I still love Easy as one of my all time favs and I doubted you could impress me that much again; and
- I worried you’d erase the ground-breaking first book in this series by following up with this one.
** Glad to report I was wrong, and can’t be any happier for it. **
Love, Rebecca
••• Now here is my review! •••
Breakable is sort of a sequel and sort of Easy in Lucas’ POV (point of view). It’s told in alternating storylines, with Landon as a teenager before the first book and then as Lucas in the current timeline, and yet this too manages to reveal new content but touch on the absolute best parts of Easy.
I think everyone should buy this book if you love contemporary stories. It literally has the best of everything. A bit of the type of YA you love to read, the sexy stuff from NA, and the emotional and poignant narrative of a thought-provoking, heart-wrenching contemporary.
Landon is a kid with no direction, mother suddenly dead and his father absent and drowning in his own grief. Landon becomes adventurous, dangerous, live-for-the-moment, experimental, slutty and withdrawn. He meets a friend early on, and after a quick punch on, they become best mates.Read more ›

I didn't TBR Breakable (insert audible gasp here). Nope, I did not. It had nothing to do with not liking Easy, because I LOVED Easy. I LOVE Tammara Webber, but my interest seemed disinterested. It's a commonality of late, take your best seller, write it from a different POV (usually the male's) and new life is breathed into an already told story. Don't get me wrong, several authors have been very successful in doing this, and I've loved some of the literary reboots that I've read, but with my ever growing TBR list, who has time for it?
So here it goes….
Are you ready for this?
Really ready for this?
Okay….
I. Was. Wrong.
I'll say it again, because it kind of got caught in my throat, I WAS WRONG.
This was not Easy. It had parts of Easy told from Lucas's POV, but it's not that book. It was so much more. This was Lucas's story. I enjoyed getting to see the parts of Easy from his POV, but it was his beginning that had me so captivated.
This was THE beginning.
Now with the risk of contradicting myself, I will say that I still recommend reading Easy first. The reason is, I feel like this book was written on the assumption that the reader has already read it. Yes, technically it could be read as a standalone, but the parts of Easy weren't as developed as the original book's, and by experiencing them through Breakable some of what I loved about Easy, the emotion, the overall experience, will be lost. You're first experience with Easy should be through Easy. This is just my personal opinion so take it or leave it.
Breakable was amazing, and I truly feel it did nothing but make this series even better. It was a completely new book, a totally new experience.Read more ›

Rating: 4.5 stars
It is rare that I read companion novels that truly complete the original story. Landon Lucas Maxfield was always a bit of an enigma to me and after reading this book, I have a whole new understanding and love of Jacqueline and Lucas’ story. Tammara Webber accomplished something that most cannot – she managed to take her original story and add a new layer of depth to make the story even better.
Reading this book was like revisiting a long lost friend. I read EASY over two years ago when it was still an indie. It is one of those books that stays with you no mater how much time passes. So suffice to say I was thrilled to learn that Tammara was going to be telling Lucas’ story! It lived up to every expectation I had and then some. I did not re-read EASY before starting this and I found that I did not need to at all.
This is not just a retelling of EASY nor is it simply an alternate POV story – it is so much more. In short, it is a prequel to EASY and does give an overlap of the events of EASY from Lucas’ POV. Tammara spent a lot of time and effort creating a story that was new and would give fans of EASY a completely different layer to Lucas and Jacqueline’s story. The book was told in both the past and the present – with each scene from the past relating to a scene in the present. What I mean is that the events of Lucas’ past explained his reactions and thoughts about the events in the present.
Landon. When Lucas talks about his past (pre-Jacqueline), he talks as Landon. In all honesty, it took me a while to understand the relevance of his past. There were times where I’d ask myself what the purpose of knowing about some girl he was attracted to or how him handling bullies at school was relevant. At first, I got a bit frustrated with it.Read more ›
