Turns out naked and hungover on the floor is not the most strategically sound place to be when your dad comes home early. Take it from someone who learned the hard way: nineteen-year-old Lysander Shepherd--son of movie stars, spoiled brat, enthusiastic proponent of drugs and orgies...and now, unwilling resident of Oak Hill Manor, a retreat for troubled teenagers.Before he knows what's happening, his designer duds have been switched for tie-dye shirts in therapy team colors, and he is surrounded by an assortment of misfits: a timid nerd, a mute girl, a hyperactive kid...and captivating loner Cai Fields, who is admittedly pretty hot, but seems to hate the world in general and Lysander in particular.Soon Lysander struggles with lies, withdrawal, and several uncomfortable revelations that he never intended to make, but he also gains surprising amounts of support right in the middle of secret late-night parties, fisticuffs over doing the dishes, and, of all things, croissant blackmail. Even as Cai and Lysander finally give in to the irresistible attraction between them and make a grasp for happiness, their darkest secrets remain--secrets with the power to destroy everything they've fought so hard to have.

His father has decided that he needs some serious help and if he doesn’t get it, he will be cutting him off. Lysander knows he doesn’t have a choice and is not willing to give up his daddy’s money. So, he is off to a retreat for troubled teenagers. First stop is to his aunts, where his cousin Finn will be going along to the retreat with him. Finn and Lysander argue constantly over who’s life is worse. So, when Lysander suggests they switch lives, Finn says okay. On their way, they stop for hair cuts, change clothes, swap I’D’s, and the switch is on.When Finn and Lysander get to the retreat, he’s very surprised at the way he’s treated. It’s almost like he’s invisible. Something Lysander is really not used to. None of the kids in his group really speak to each other and there’s one who just seems to hate him on sight alone. They even get into a huge fight, that ends with them in a kitchen pantry. And no they weren’t in there looking for food. From that moment, these two strike up a friendship that turns into so much more.Between the group sessions and personal therapy, we really get to see just what kind of person Lysander truly is. You’ll see his laughter, You’ll see his heartbreak, and you’ll see him making friends. Friends that will last a lifetime.I don’t even know how to begin in telling you how much I truly loved this book. The story grabbed me right from the first page. It was filled with all kinds of different emotions. I cried sad tears, I cried happy tears, and I even laughed quite a bit. Oh, and the side characters were amazing people. I loved each one of them and became just as interested in their story as I was in Lynsander’s. I don’t want to forget to praise the writing because it was phenomenal. And I just read that this is the authors debut novel and all I have to say to her is Bravo! You did an amazing job with this story and I cannot wait to see what you come up with next.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Spectacularly Broken was a spectacular read By Erica L. Chilson I received a copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads5 Star | Read in one sitting | Totally engrossed |Spectacularly Broken was a spectacular read. Well-written, the narration flowed smoothly, and the situations were realistic and surprisingly deep. Lysander is a rich, gay kid with absolutely no direction in life. He's lost. The narrator was written in such a way to remove the vapid, arrogance which would have been expected, but in its place was a compassionate kid, who was realistic, and easy to understand and love.Without giving the entirety of the plot away, Lysander is sent to Naughty camp for misfit teenagers, where we meet a mishmash of broken teens who were a pleasure to read. Each and every character was unique and multifaceted.What I loved the most about the book: it took a long while for a romance to appear, as friendship, familial bonds, and the characters' issues were in the foreground. The bond between Lysander and Finn was refreshing, as was the bond between Lysander and Cai. The reader could feel the familial bonds, even from the grave.Spectacularly Broken didn't use tricks, action sequences, or excesses of romance to cover the fact that it was lacking in story, because it perfectly showcased the human condition.Very deep read, yet light-hearted with the age group and Lysander himself. I'm not one who enjoys an endearment in a book (in fact, it's my biggest pet peeve) but when he called his cousin Cupcake, I couldn't help but smile. The endearment spewing was so Lys, that I found it darling. My favorite line of the book is when he called his older cousin 'sweetheart' and told him to go step on a Lego!I also really, really want pancakes now.Genre: Young adult (but there is swearing, sexual situations, drug use, yet they were not unrealistic to the age group) | New Adult | Coming of Age | Dark | LGBTQ Gay Romance M/M | Contemporary Romance | HEA | Standalone |Recommend: Contemporary LBGTQ Romance fans | Those who like a deep read, who aren't afraid of the realistic pains in everyday life |Would I read more by this author: will be checking to see what other works the author has written as soon as I push send on this review.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Spectacular Debut!! By Jessica *sighs in contentment* I cannot think of a more perfect way to spend a lazy afternoon. I had a pretty strong feeling that the synopsis offered by Amazon for Spectacularly Broken would ensure the book would be a good one. By the end of the first chapter, I was in love. The writing was beautiful and addicting; Lysander’s voice was fresh and dynamic, a siren pulling readers in and keeping them in a tight grip until the last word is read. And while the theme of opposites attract isn't uncommon in the romance genre, the plot of Spectacularly Broken was captivating and different, and I was compelled to keep reading until the end. Before heading off to the retreat after his father finds him in a very embarrassingly compromising position, Lsyander meets up with his cousin, Finn, who will also be attending the program. Finn is adorably likable but he resents Lysander because they two grew up in vastly different worlds; while Lysander can afford designer clothes without so much as a second glance at the price tag and spends his time partying hard, Finn and his family are literally living paycheck to paycheck and he is dealing with personal problems of his own. While Lysander is trying to convince Finn that his life isn't all it’s cracked up to be, the two decide to challenge each other to live in the other person’s shoes during therapy for as long as they can. It’s an eye opening experience for both of them, but becomes particularly tricky for Lysander when his form of tension relief becomes dangerously close to something more.Enter Cai, a super sexy badass complete with an all black wardrobe, gauged ears, and piercings from his ears to his…well…you know. ;) It’s hate at first sight between Cai and Lysander (now living as Finn and operating under the name Haze) but it isn't long before distaste becomes attraction in the form of quickies in pantry and on the roof. Both men think they've found the perfect way to absolve stress, but this is a romance, and we all know that something more is not far behind. When these two come together, it is scorching! The chemistry between them is fantastic and I loved watching their relationship grow, especially as Cai reveals more about himself. When “Haze” realizes how much contempt Cai has for Lysander and how much Cai has come to trust the person he knows as Haze, I felt anxious right along with Lysander. I wanted them to work out, but I was itching to see if and how it would. And when everything hits the fan in one explosive moment, and Lysander thinks he’s lost Cai, I felt every amount of agony going through both boys’ minds and hearts. Like I said before, this book is addicting.The secondary characters were all really great and amazingly fleshed out. The writing was perfect, and if you pay close enough attention you will catch a couple of instances of foreshadowing, which were both done brilliantly! And I loved that Holloway didn't beat us over the head with it when it was revealed, trusting the readers to be savvy about it. BRILLIANT!With this debut novel Sage Holloway has become one of my new favorite authors. I can't wait to see what she has next for us, and I hope it comes quickly! I would love a sequel for Lysander and Cai!! This is a book I highly recommend.
