Did u read the bonus chapters?

Also I’m kinda confused…why did Wrath say in previous books Pride’s wife and her sister…I remember him wondering if Pride saw his wife and her sister in every murdered witch…

First of all, I read the bonus chapters the moment I saw you asking. I was screaming for a whole minute.

Second, I was thinking the same thing.

So, here are my thoughts.

Are we sure that the unamed wife of Pride and Lucia are the same?

I want to state that Vittoria was the one who killed the witches before they could marry Pride, thus lifting his curse, which would had lead to him going to search for Lucia. Vittoria had tore their hearts. (very symbolic, if you ask me) And in chapter 24 Claudia said :

‘’ Sometimes I dream. Of a life I think I might have lived. A man I might have loved. But it always ends in a nightmare. With him ripping out my heart. Other times it’s me who tears it from my own chest. Or sometimes even his.”

Just leaving that here and I continue with this quote from the bonus chapter (ONE Prince of Wrath {Originally chapter one from Kingdom of the Wicked}) from kotc:

‘‘Years ago, there were rumors they’d [Greed and Envy] hepled murder Pride’s wife and her sister. The attack was so violent and brutal, there were only a few strands of bloody hair left from each of them.’‘

We know that there was NOTHING left behind from Lucia, and we haven’t any indication that she has a sister. Leading me to the conclusion that:

As we all know, Vittoria is the only other being that matches him in a lot of ways (Wrath’s words). While Vittoria was in a somewhat ‘commited’ relationship with Domenico, she didn’t have a problem taking others to bed (p.e. Alexei). 

And in order for Pride to be free of his curse, he had to marry a witch. He would marry her despite the fact that Lucia might be alive. So who is to say that he didn’t marry Nicoletta before her betrayal, the way Wrath did with Emilia?

In the same bonus chapter that I mentioned before, there’s this quote:

‘’I wondered if he saw his cursed lover and her sister in all the slain women as I did.’’ 

I will leave you to your own conclusions, dear fellow fans.

I’m not going to include the synopsis since I feel like I could accidentally go into some spoilers.

✨This hurts to rate a Jennifer Weiner novel 3 stars. I've been a fan since 2008 when I read Certain Girls, which my grandmother bought me that book from a book fair at her work. What she did not know was that she was giving an adult novel to a 13-year-old. Then, I remember my art teacher coming up to me saying she was reading the same book as I, which was very, very awkward. But it was not until my college years that I picked up any book by Jennifer Weiner. I have always loved how Jennifer could suck you in with her writing and very flawed characters. Most of her books have her characters have POVs in the past and present.

✨I've always been a fan of that because I need to know all the juicy details of her characters. But what The Breakaway does is not that. We focus on the present with a few nods to the past. With The Breakaway, I was not drawn to the characters like I usually am with Jennifer's other books.

✨I enjoyed them going around New York biking and coming to different realizations about their lives as well as how to face their future.

✨But I kept getting a few characters here and there mixed up.

✨I felt like there was not many things going on with the characters that intrigued me to draw me into this book. I just thought they were okay and was like cool. I kept waiting for more backstory of the characters and more possible consequences/growth from them too.

✨Like I said: I still enjoyed this book for the most part but really, it's not love or its hate it's just indifference. I do look forward to future works by Jennifer and I think a lot of people will see the appeal of this book.

An Ode to my Favorite Book

I love you, my favorite book, with your dog-eared pages, rumpled and folded.

I love you, my favorite book, with a cover all torn and ragged.

I love you, my favorite book, with your stains and rips and tears.

I love you, my favorite book, with your spine cracked and ripped and unreadable.

I love you, my favorite book, with your pages falling out.

I love you, my favorite book, with your battle scars from acting as my shield.

I love you, my favorite book, as we are the same age. As I have never known life without you.

I love you, my favorite book, past your dying breath. Past my dying breath. As I know not even death will take you from my mind.

I love you, my favorite book, for giving me your body and soul. For giving me all that you have.

I love you, my favorite book, as I always have, and always will.

Thank you for loving me back
