Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 9 Up-With a beginning worthy of a horror movie, five teenagers arrive at a deserted cabin on a supposedly haunted mountain intending to spend the weekend enjoying their long-standing role-playing game. The five, once good friends, have drifted apart, but with graduation near they decide to get together one more time, perhaps to mend some of the brokenness. They are all "Wonder Bread white" but otherwise a varied group: Liva, the rich owner of the cabin; Carter, the one who wants to escape town and become the rich man he thinks he deserves to be; Finn, a transgender boy living with arthritis; Ever, the non-binary leader of the game; and Maddy, who is bisexual, autistic, and an injured athlete. The game starts well, at least until Liva disappears, leaving a bloody room and a finger on the windowsill. The terror continues as secrets are revealed, lives are put in danger, and those who remain must decide whether to trust each other. With movie-style pacing, the plot carefully unravels relationships and plans for the weekend as the remaining characters are targeted. While the characters are distinct and unique, they are also fairly well-rounded and developed with their differences being only part of their characterization. The fast pace of the action slows down when three of the characters escape the cabin and head back down the mountain, deep in conversation that, at times, seems a little forced and out of character. While the climax might be predictable for some readers, it does not detract from the overall atmosphere of the book. VERDICT A thriller with appeal for a variety of readers.-Janet Hilbun, University of North Texas, Dentonα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Review

"Immersive and captivating. From its well-drawn characters to their twisty game-turned-crime scene, Even If We Break is thrilling in every sense of the word." ― Karen M. McManus, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Worthy of a horror movie... While the characters are distinct and unique, they are also fairly well-rounded and developed with their differences being only part of their characterization… A thriller with appeal for a variety of readers." ―
School Library Journal

"The darkly twisted ode to self-discovery briskly whisks an intersectionally inclusive group through a reasonably stormy, emotionally charged scenario that considers the sometimes-steep price of growing up and growing apart." ―
Publishers Weekly

"An engaging read, providing readers with some solid suspense, and twists to sink their teeth into." ―
Booklist

A YA thriller perfect for Halloween time.
FIVE friends go to a cabin.FOUR of them are hiding secrets.THREE years of history bind them.TWO are doomed from the start.ONE person wants to end this.NO ONE IS SAFE.Even If We Break was a great YA Thriller, especially for this time of the year. We get to watch five friends as life changes if more for them on this trip, for the best and worse possible ways. Marieke did an amazing job with this book, the pace was great, it never dragged out, and it was easy to get into.I liked the characters, and liked to see how they changed. I found her ability to bring in characters that aren’t represented in other books to be great, and it felt good to see a character that I could relate too.It was fun to see a RPG in a story but it not be the whole story (it gave a little stranger things vibe with that) and I had to find out if I was right on who was behind everything.I read this quickly (in two sittings) and enjoyed it very much.If you want a fun thriller, and if you’re not big on scariness this maybe for you. I definitely gave it a five star for a good YA thriller.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad, Not Amazing
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2023
I am very in the middle with my feelings about this book, I won’t go too much into the plot because I don’t want to accidentally spoil anything. In short, it is not a bad book but it is not one that I have thought about since I finished it. The plot was good, I did not expect it to lean so heavily on the characters being super into roleplay games which I think is where it confused some of the other people who have read this book, but that did not take away from the story itself. I just found that I couldn’t really connect with any of the characters because the point of view switched often and the plot twist was very predictable. Other than that, it's not a bad book and it's worth a shot for some audiences.
