Breaking up by Kate Cann


This story is about a teenager called Fliss who is caught in an unbearable situation. While her little sisters are too young to know what is going on, Fliss can see that her parent's aren't getting on at all and they're turning her home into a battlefield. To escape from this nightmare, she begins to lean too heavily on her boyfriend Simon, making him the single most important person in her life. Things comes to a head when her father announces he's moving out. Although Simon cares about Fliss, the pressure becomes to much and Simon has to leave and let her face the problem on her own. What will she do to solve the problem? Will Fliss and Simon come back together?
Breaking up is an absorbing and intriguing book that I counldn't stop reading it. This superb novel is not only about teenage emotional needs but also about emergence for hope and maturity as Fliss starts to realise everything is not gonna be alright until she goes through an unhappiness experience. You will start to understand that you will be stronger after trying to solve the problem.
I would recommend this book to teenagers because the book tells people that life is not easy when we are teenagers and we start to face with many problems in life.
