Crumble by Fleur Philips BookSparksPR's Summer Reading Challenge

Crumble by Fleur Philips  (Crossover YA, up for Amazon's Breakthrough Novel Award, June 2013)
About the Book: A modern tale of forbidden love à la Romeo and Juliet, Fleur Philips’ second novel Crumble will leave you gripping the book with suspense and anticipation to see what happens between a young bi-racial couple in love in rural Montana. Eighteen-year-old Sarah McKnight has a secret. She’s in love with David Brooks. Sarah is white. David is black. But Sarah’s not the only one keeping secrets in the small town, close-knit community of Kalispell, Montana.


My Review:
Like most couples that are trying to keep their relationship a secret, life happens and messes up their plans. This book had so much going on. There were guns, the KKK, a pregnancy, and death. There is so much more to this story. You will not believe who is responsible for what. When people start to die, I had a hard choice picking who was responsible. So many people played a role in these 2 peoples lives, some guiltier than others. I did not like the ending at all, and I felt as though only part justice was done. I think that there should have been more people held accountable. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
