Anything But Broken was such a deep, emotional, tragic, heartbreaking story that pulls you into the book the moment you read the first page. Joelle Knox doesn't give you a simple love story but allows it's readers to feel the depth of loss, heartbreak, and emptiness. Joelle Knox consumes you with these raw emotions so as reader you are emotionally invested in Hannah and Sean. Anything But Broken is a story of acceptance, healing, love, second chances and starting over. In Hannah's complicated world, she found one uncomplicated thing that could be hers. And that was Sean. Sean showed her to its okay to be vulnerable and it's okay to live on the edge. And it's okay to be just you. So in a world of expectations, Hannah Casey learned its okay to go fast, to go slow, but most importantly to enjoy the ride even if it means going through some bumps along the way.
