![]() And Bette, too, went through some serious changes through the pain that she suffered in the first one. Now we are worried that she is going to turn into a monster, much like Bette was in the first book. But in her anger, she starts to lose herself and starts to make the shift from damaged, to broken, and I believe there is a distinct difference. From racism thrown her way to injuries caused by others, Gigi is angry, and rightfully so. Gigi went through some terrible crap in this first book, no doubt about it. I think that it’s a pretty brave move to take favorites and lovable characters from the first book and make them more flawed and potentially unlikable in this one, if only to make the point that damaged people can do crappy things, and that doesn’t mean they’re necessarily evil. Also, there are going to be spoilers for this book, because some of my issues are about certain plot points and plot twists.I really liked that in “Shiny Broken Pieces”, Charaipotra and Clayton were perfectly comfortable exploring and expanding all of their characters to make them even more well rounded and interesting. But I’m sorry to say that this sequel didn’t quite live up to the amazingness of the original.But let’s start at the beginning and start with the good. Like, who killed Gigi’s butterflies? Who put glass in her shoe? Who shoved her in front of a taxi in hopes that she would be injured for life? We get some answers to all those questions and more. This time, in “Shiny Broken Pieces”, it’s basically senior year and the stakes are higher than ever!!! Which means that, one would think, shit is about to get real, dramatics wise! And maybe we’ll get some answers regarding what happened at the end of the previous book, “Tiny Pretty Things”. ![]() So here we are again, following the vindictive and somewhat sociopathic students at the American Ballet Company. ![]()
