Synopsis
We were the ultimate example of that couple who can’t live with each other, but can’t seem to function without each other.
The minute I met Callum Strass at fifteen, I was a goner. We were the golden couple of our high school. The king and queen of prom, the sweethearts voted most likely to get married and have babies, and the absolute idiots who decided to attend the same college.
Because that’s when it all fell apart. The naïve, puppy love versions of ourselves couldn’t see the obvious cracks we’d had back in our hometown. But they sure revealed themselves when we started living in an off-campus house together with four of our other friends.
Within a semester, blow-out fights, jealousy, every-other-week breakups, and my abandonment issues had him bowing out. Not just on me, but on the house, too. Until our senior year, when his parents refuse to keep paying rent on two places.
So he moves back in, and I’m forced to live with my ex. The one who has ruined all other men for me. The one I still cry myself to sleep at night thinking about. The one who confesses, during a run-in in a dark hallway, that he hates how much he still loves me.
And when he starts dating again, he might as well plunge a knife straight through my heart. Despite our breakup, I’m on the verge of losing him for real this time, and possibly forever. The only option is to seek help for my deep-seated trauma, the thing that Callum always encouraged me to see someone about. The thing that eventually pushed him away.
Put two of the most driven, headstrong, and passionate people in any relationship and it’s bound to combust. We’ve always had that twin flame kind of love.
So, together we might burn. But we also might heal.
Review
This book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Carrie Aarons!
You Keep Breaking Us is a standalone New Adult Romance set in the Prospect Street series. You Keep Breaking Us tells the story of Bevan and Callum.
After reading about Bevan and Callum in the two previous books in the Prospect Street series, I’ve been so interested in their story. I wanted to know why they kept fighting and why they eventually broke up. I’m so happy that Carrie Aarons shared Bevan and Callum’s story with us because it’s such a beautiful yet heartbreaking one. I think that Carrie Aarons did such an amazing job with this book and it’s definitely my favourite one in the Prospect Street series. Maybe even my favourite Carrie Aarons book…
You Keep Breaking Us is a story about two people who’ve been in love with each for such a long time, yet keep on hurting each other. Bevan and Callum’s story is such a rollercoaster. This book is not just about the romance, but it’s also about chasing dreams, dealing with issues and trauma, and many more things. I loved seeing Bevan and Callum grow as characters and grow towards each other again. Their love story is so inspiring and it shows that sometimes, time apart can heal you, so you can be a better person and have a better-working relationship.
Carrie Aarons created such a beautiful book, and it was amazing to finally read Bevan and Callum’s story. You Keep Breaking Us was such a good Romance read with a quick pace and some important topics. I highly recommend You Keep Breaking Us, and the Prospect Street series in general, if you’re looking for a great College Romance read/series!
