Fake It 'Til You Break It by Meagan Brandy


Blurb


Fake.

That’s what we are.

That’s what we agreed to be.

I thought it would be harder, convincing everyone our school’s star receiver was mine and mine alone, but we played our parts well.

So well, the lines between us began to blur until they disappeared completely.

The thing about pretending, though, someone’s always better at it, and by the time I realized my mistake, there was no going back.

I fell for our lie.

And then everything fell apart.

It turned out, he and I were never playing the same game.

He didn’t have to break me to win.

But he did it anyway.

This story is completely different than Meagan's Brayshaw High series. We can find it in the same heat, but the participants and the atmosphere are different. We can read the story in the present time from Nico & Demi's POV. I need to confess I'd rather love to read it to Nico's perspective. He is so interesting, nice and very patient personality. He's a little impulsive in nature, but he is different than his mates. We have a perfect ideal looks like a typical bad boy but in the background, you can feel that this is not entirely true. He's a little young to me (haha), he's managed to abduct my heart. 
Demi is a popular, smart, nice, fun girl. She's mature for his age, she has a lot of friends but she is too lonely. She is greatly different than Meagan's previous heroines.
The high school bullying is in the center of the recently appearing books. However, the Fake It 'Til You Break It isn't like that. This book is a refreshing freshness for you. Of course, this book also contains conflict because it is necessary. This book is in a completely different category. The writer added some really surprising twist, while I'm reading FITYBI that make you just open my mouth. While reading we can feel the main characters something hiding in the darkness.
Their relationship isn't real, but what happens when the lines blur and you don't know what's true and what's false?


I expected the boundaries blurred by the false things to be true, but I wasn't prepared for it that these things are tiny chopped up my heart. But that what's happened.

Favourite Quotes

"Even when you had no fuckin’ clue… you were my baby."

"I don’t want you lies. I want your all."

"What happens when this show's over?"

"– Maybe I can be different.
Maybe … you can be mine."

Genevieve's review in Hungarian

Ez a történet teljesen más mint Meagan Brayshaw High sorozata. Megtalálható benne ugyanaz a forróság, a szereplők és a hangulat mégis különböző. Maga a történet jelen időben játszódik, Nico & Demi szemszögéből olvashatjuk. 
Meg kell gyónnom hogy Nico szemszögét szívesebben olvastam, ő annyira érdekes, kedves és roppant mód türelmes egyéniség. Ugyan egy kissé lobbanékony természetű, de mégis annyira különbözik a vele egyidősektől. Kaptunk egy tökéletes ideált, tipikus rossz fiúnak beállítva, de a háttérben érezhető hogy ez nem teljesen fedi a valóságot. Bár egy kicsit fiatal lenne hozzám (haha), mégis sikerült elrabolnia a szívemet. 
Demi pedig egy népszerű mégis okos, kedves, életvidám, lány. Korához képest érett, rengeteg barátja van mégis annyira magányos. Nagyban különbözik Meagan eddigi főhősnőitől. 
A mostanában megjelenő könyvek központjában a középiskolai bullying szerepel, azzal hogy a Fake It 'Til You Break It nem erről szól, üdítő frissességet hoz magával. Persze ez a könyv is tartalmaz konfliktusokat, hiszen fordulatokra igenis szükség van, mégis ezek teljesen más kategóriába sorolhatóak. Sőt néhány igazán meglepő csavart is hozzáadott az írónő, melyek láttán csak tátottam a számat. 
Olvasás közben érezhetjük azt is hogy főszereplőink életében bizony ott rejtőzik a sötétség. Kettejük kapcsolata nem valódi, de mi történik ha a határok elmosódnak és nem tudod mi igaz és mi hamis? 

Vártam hogy a határok elmosódásával a hamis dolgok igazzá váljanak, de nem voltam felkészülve rá hogy apró darabokra szaggatják a szívemet. Mégis megtörtént.

Excerpt


“Hello, Raven.”
Unease washes over me, but I force my eyes back to the court, and sure as shit, amongst the crazy, Maddoc and Captain both spotted the piece of shit move my way.
“What do you want, Perkins?”
“I got a very interesting transfer slip on my desk this morning, Ms. Carver.”
I freeze, and I’m pretty sure my eyes widen, because Maddoc’s frown deepens, but he takes off, the ball now in his possession and I shift to see him better.
In the same second, Perkins lays his hand on my arm, and I spin, yanking away from him.
“Don’t fucking touch me,” I spit through clenched teeth and a mocking laugh leaves him.
The crowd groans and when my eyes flash back to the court, Maddoc’s hands are swiping down his face in frustration, the ball now with the opposing team as the final buzzer sounds.
“Thanks for all your help, Ms. Carver.”
“Don’t get it twisted. I’d never do a damn thing to purposely help you.”
He steps down, turning back to face me as he does. “You have a good night.

Trouble At Brayshaw High is the the highly anticipated follow up to Boys of Brayshaw High, and should be read only after having read book one. 

Find book one, Boys of Brayshaw High, here: http://bit.ly/BOBHUniversal


You have no idea how glad I was when I received the notification about I was selected for an ARC instance. It was the most anticipated book of the month for me and it's not in vain. I just got what I expected. It's an exciting book with crazy plot. It was simply breathtaking, I got goosebumps while reading.
The story can be read from Raven and Maddoc's point of view. I'm glad to know Maddoc's feelings better than in the first book of the series. I really enjoyed.
The plot of the book is well-structured. I liked not knowing what’s gonna happen, so it’s not a cliche at all. More than 100 or 1000 books have been published on similar topics, but this series is completely unique, outstanding of its kind. However, I felt that so many things happened at once. Things have become a little complicated…
After the end of the previous section, I was pissed of, this ENDING! Ah ... I just got a lot of answers for this and more questions. Thanks Meagan. ;)
Raven is still the hard chick she was in the first part, which made me really happy. Despite all this, her character has undergone many developments until the end of book 2.
Maddoc AKA Big Man, he had some manifestations/actions that I did not agree with. However, he also developed a lot and became much more patient. I wouldn't say that he is calmer, but he changed a lot.

In spite of that, he and Royce are still my favorites in the book.
Cap, I like him, but I couldn't place him. I think I need some time and of course another book. ;) I miss them so much!

Secrets. Rivalry. Brotherhood. And of course more secrets. But the question is whether  you are ready.

Dive into the life of Brayshaw High, but be careful. Not everything is as it seems.

Favorite quotes
"-I'm watching you. EVERY. FUCKING. MOVE."

“- You’re creating an empire. -We’re building our fucking kingdom.”


"The ability to swallow me whole. The big bad wolf with claws that stretch from one edge of his city to the next."

"- We weren’t ready for you, Raven Carver.  We weren’t fucking ready.”

"- You don't fuck with a Brayshaw. None of us."

"- Don’t make me wait, baby. I can’t wait.- Take what you need, Big Man.”

- My mind is dark, baby.- And?- And you’re afraid of the dark.”

                                                                                                                                       

El sem hiszitek mennyire örültem mikor megkaptam az értesítést arról hogy kiválasztottak egy ARC példányra. A hónap legjobban várt könyve volt számomra, és nem hiába. Pont azt kaptam amit vártam. Egy pörgős cselekményű, izgalmas könyvet. Egyszerűen lélegzetelállító volt, nem egyszer libabőrős lettem olvasás közben.
A történetet Raven és Maddoc szemszögéből olvashatjuk. Örülök hogy jobban megismerhettem Maddoc érzéseit mint a sorozat első könyvében. Nagyon élveztem. 
A könyv cselekménye jól felépített. Tetszett hogy nem tudtam mi fog következni, tehát egyáltalán nem klisés. Lehet hogy több 100 vagy 1000 hasonló témával foglalkozó könyv jelent meg eddig, de ez a sorozat teljesen egyedi, kiemelkedő a maga nemében. Azonban úgy éreztem hogy 1-2 helyen túl sok dolog is történt egyszerre. Kicsit összekuszálódtak a szálak. De valahogy még ez is hozzáadott a történethez, nem pedig elvett belőle. 
Az előző rész vége után kicsit ki voltam akadva, az a BEFEJEZÉS! Áh... Erre most kaptam egy csomó választ és persze meg még több kérdést. Kössz Meagan. ;) 
Raven még mindig az a kemény csaj aki az első részben volt, aminek nagyon örültem. Mindezek ellenére jelleme rengeteg fejlődésen esett át a 2. rész végéig. 
Maddoc AKA Big Man, volt néhány megnyilvánulása amellyel nem értettem egyet. Azonban, ő is rengeteget fejlődött, sokkal türelmesebb lett. Azt nem mondanám hogy teljesen lehiggadt, de azért sokat változott.
Ennek ellenére még mindig ő és Royce a kedvencem a könyvben. 
Cap, őt is kedvelem, de nem tudom hova tenni. Azt hiszem szükségem van még időre, és persze egy újabb könyvre. ;) Annyira hiányoznak!

Titkok. Rivalizálás. Testvériség. És persze még több titok. De a kérdés az, ti készen álltok?

Merülj el a Brayshaw High életében, de vigyázz. Nem minden az aminek látszik!

                                                                                                             

Excerpt
Copyright © 2019 Meagan Brandy

  I grip the ends of my hair and pull, trying to lessen the pounding at my temples. My body and mind are exhausted, and my head is taking the heat from it. 
  It doesn’t help a damn thing, so I drop onto the bar stool and look to the clock. 
  It’s past three a.m. and still, no sign of Raven. 
  Captain is pacing the fucking house while Royce keeps walking in and out the front door with his arms crossed over his chest.
  I shake my head. Only hours gone, and the three of us are losing our damn minds. This girl, she’s got us all sorts of fucked up.
  She had slipped out front only minutes after coming downstairs, and I was seconds from following her ass, but didn’t. I kept my feet planted and gave her the time I convinced myself she needed to build back the sass or fire she was ready to throw.
  When fifteen minutes ticked by and she still hadn’t walked back in, I knew without looking she took off, pulled a fucking Raven and made a solo decision.
  And a solo decision meant a stupid fucking decision.
  That’s the thing about Raven Carver, she does whatever the hell she wants, makes shitty judgment calls in a snap that you never see coming, and hopes it’ll all work out in the end, fuck the consequences.
  I can’t fucking stand it.
  Her ass has to stop taking off without us when she knows there’s nothing but trouble waiting in the dark. This is something Bass fucking Bishop should have thought about before he asked her to slip away from us and meet him at the warehouses last night where she ended up getting fucking jumped.
  He may be our bookie for all events out at the warehouses and a damn good one at that, but that’s my fucking girl. He should’ve known better.
  I might talk to my brothers about blacklisting his punk ass for that move alone – everyone on hand is replaceable, Raven is not. He should have fucking thought of that.
  The second we realized she ran, we tossed him out, called up our boys, and went searching.
  The problem, Raven’s spent the better part of her life sneaking around others. We knew we’d only find her if she wanted us to. Going to look was more us hoping her ass was walking around to clear her mind.
  Hours ticked by and she was nowhere in sight, so we came home to wait her out while our boys kept looking, hitting random house parties around town in search of her.
  “I still think Bass is hiding something,” Royce spits, tilting his head to look along the porch. “Little bitch is out pretending to hunt for her, he prolly knows exactly where she’s at.”
