Taking a job testing products was my mother's idea. I had no idea how it would change my life. And boy, did it ever. I lost a lot of weight, became stronger, and now have superhuman abilities. Great, huh? Not so great, when you realize you have to use these abilities against something heading to Earth who are called the Destroyers.

My name is Sophie Martin and I'm a leader of a little group called the Oracles. We're the only ones who can face what's coming. I'm no hero, but it's up to me to do what an alien race couldn't--defeat an alien race that's determined to destroy everything in their path...

Broken

Join author, A.R. Grosjean on her journey as a survivor of bullying and emotional struggles. With her underlying message of not giving up, you will find a woman of strength and resilience surrounding her inner turmoil of vulnerability and fragility.

Trigger Warning:

This story contains themes of mental abuse. However, it is told in a gently unfolding, manageable manner

My 5 Star Review:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Despite the topic being deep and heavy, A.R. Grosjean writes with refreshing honesty. As such, her book, Broken, embraces the genre of autobiography perfectly.

The author takes us on a visual voyage as we see inside her life as an often-overlooked child and, later through the window of her school days, a bullied teenager, into adulthood.

Her childhood questions are never answered and as such she grapples to understand this treatment from people she felt rejected by. Here in lies the author’s inner strength. Recognizing the need to distance herself from the negativity and ensuing hurt, A.R. Grosjean makes a courageous decision to move away from her traitorous past and those who betrayed her.

Why I would recommend this book: As autobiographies go, you will be hard pressed to find a more apt story told through the eyes of the child becoming the adult. Frightened, brave, questioning, and finally the resolve to never give up. It has everything a reader wants in a personal story.

What I didn’t love about this book: I was so invested in the author’s story that I didn’t want to wait for the sequel! However, I do understand that it was necessary for the length of Broken and it, in no way, impacted the flow of the story.

Favourite Quotes:

My favourite quote that depicts the author’s sincerity brilliantly: ‘Words are just words until they are backed up by actions.’

A relationship quote that defines young love: ‘I was in love with the idea of being in love.

’Quote that defines mature relationships: ‘It takes two to make a relationship work – any relationship.’

---

Congratulations to A.R. Grosjean for her autobiography, Broken. I feel that it is an important piece of work to get out into the world. It highlights the dangers of bullying and the impact on one's mental health, which is a topic of utmost importance in our society. I was fortunate to read an early copy of Broken, however, you can place your preorders now, with release date being 2 September 2024.

In another post, she has stated this is the best non-fiction book of the year!

Strange New World

White rabbits know more than you might think.

I loved the zany dream logic of this tale. Kevin accepted almost everything that happened to him immediately, but he was also struck by the cognitive dissonance the moment he tried to make logical sense of anything. This reminded me of lucid dreaming as well as of how funny it can be to try to describe a wild dream to someone the next morning after you’ve woken up and realized that half of it is rather nonsensical. What made sense while one slept is now confusing, and what was mildly confusing in the moment can feel like mashing six different genres together without any care given to continuity or plot development. It seemed complicated to put together despite being an homage to such a famous story, so I must tip my cap to the author for doing it so well.

There’s nothing like chuckling one’s way through a short story. This was my introduction to Ms. Grosjean’s work, and I already think I’m going to love her sense of humour if I’m lucky enough to read more from her in the future. It was tricky for me to figure out which examples of what she finds funny to include in my review that would give a small hint of what to expect without sharing too many spoilers. Let’s just say that tree huggers have an entirely different connotation in this universe than they do in our own, and I laughed out loud once I figured out what the sentient creatures who lived there thought of them.

The conversations were some of my favourite sections. Sometimes it felt as though Kevin and the various creatures he met on his adventure were speaking two completely different languages due to their different interpretations of the same word and expectations of what might happen next. This is where the author’s writing abilities really shone through the brightest in my opinion. There is nothing like using wordplay to make the audience giggle and nudge the plot forward despite all attempts to grind it to a halt so a caterpillar can pontificate a little longer.

Strange New World was a creative romp through a world many readers already know and love.
