This book hit me
The writer searched for a tender embrace and found rape and punches. Kandasamy is a poet and beautifully she uses words to punch back or to make sense of a horrific and unimaginable monstrosity of a situation. However, when I say poetic please don't assume this is pretentious for it is not. you sometimes feel terrible for enjoying the words as a thing of beauty,and it is a beautiful piece of writing, but it is there to mind meaning in the inexcusable. It is a wonderful cathartic explosion of finding sense where there is none. of finding hope where there was only hatred in the name of love. My hope is it may give another legs to run or an abuser a reflection into their monstrosity. This may be listed as a feminist book but is fighting against evil cruelty, bullying and rape feminist or is it a struggle to be more human?

gouge my eyes out with a spork. please.
This godforsaken book. It took everything in me to finish this book. I had to read it for a class - Intro to American Studies: The 1920s and I thought it was going to be great. I was really looking forward to it. And then I started. The first couple of chapters are great. The introduction? Amazing! And then it just takes a turn for the worse.

I think this was the most poorly constructed book I've read in a long time. The chapters didn't have any sort of fluidity whatsoever and it felt like it was all over the place. I was reading about so many different people in really different orders and then 3 chapters later, we'd find ourselves back to those people and it just made no sense. Literally none.

I am almost proud of myself for finishing this book. It really was that hard. I had such high hopes and it just flopped. If my reviews mean anything to anyone, please don't read this book. Don't waste time.

Broken Masterpiece by Tee Smith ~~FREE~ Limited time only.

When nothing makes sense, who do you trust?

With no memory of her past, Charlie has no choice but to cling to what she knows, and what she’s been told. But what if none of that is real?

Desperate for answers, she searches for remnants of the life she had. Her last memory was more than ten years ago. She has a husband who loves her, a nice home in the suburbs, but she can’t shake the feeling he is hiding something.

What if everyone she trusts have their own agenda?

As her memory returns and the lies become known, there is no way of going back.

Sometimes not knowing the truth can be a blessing, rather than a curse.

Broken Masterpiece is a story of violence, manipulation and above all else, survival.
