Break Away - Paige Reinelt

Break Away is a raw and emotionally gripping coming-of-age novel about love, identity, and the quiet battles we fight within ourselves.

Emma is an ordinary teenage girl-at least, that’s what she tells herself. Navigating high school, friendships, and family struggles, her world begins to shift when she meets Ryan. What starts as curiosity quickly spirals into something deeper, pulling her into a whirlwind of emotions she isn’t prepared to face.

As her first experience with love unfolds, Emma finds herself caught between longing and self-doubt, passion and pain. Beneath the surface, she battles anxiety, emotional turmoil, and the weight of feeling unseen and unloved. With each choice she makes, the line between healing and heartbreak becomes harder to distinguish.

Break Away is a powerful story of vulnerability, toxic love, and the courage it takes to confront your inner demons. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the hardest person to save is yourself-and the bravest thing you can do is choose to break away.
