Novels in Verse hmmm? "We Come Apart"-Brian Conaghan and Sarah Crossan

Hello fellow book lovers! 

So this week I came across my first Novel In Verse! Titled: "We Come Apart" Written by Brian Conaghan and Sarah Crossan . I wont lie to you,  for the mere fact that it was the first time that I had ever read a novel with this structure,  it took me a day or two to get into the book. However, I quickly fell in-love with the characters, the story and the structure. The book is split into three parts and as mentioned the structure is in verse. 

We come apart has two main characters, Nicu who has emigrated from Romania, and is awaiting to be married without his consent. The second main character is Jess who comes from a home plagued with domestic violence, her mother is dating a man named Terry who is abusive in many different ways, and he often goes to the extent of making Jess film the abuse. Jess and Nicu have their daily struggles which bring them together and which also stand to separate them. 

What I loved about most about this book is Nicu's character; readers are made aware almost immediately that Nicu has emigrated from Romania and cannot speak English well, and this comes through in each of his verses. It almost makes his character more relateable and real. I love that this was an easy and quick read but also intensely gripping. the only thing that I am struggling with is the ending, it was very sudden, leaves you with many questions and empty feeling?. Who knows maybe this was ultimate purpose. . . to draw ones own conclusions? I would still recommend it though!  Please do yourself a favor and grab a copy.
