About THE FRAGILE ORDINARY:

I am Comet Caldwell.

And I sort of, kind of, absolutely hate my name.

People expect extraordinary things from a girl named Comet. That she’ll be effortlessly cool and light up a room the way a comet blazes across the sky.

But from the shyness that makes her book-character friends more appealing than real people to the parents whose indifference hurts more than an open wound, Comet has never wanted to be the center of attention. She can’t wait to graduate from her high school in Edinburgh, Scotland, where the only place she ever feels truly herself is on her anonymous poetry blog. But surely that will change once she leaves to attend university somewhere far, far away.

When new student Tobias King blazes in from America and shakes up the school, Comet thinks she’s got the bad boy figured out. Until they’re thrown together for a class assignment and begin to form an unlikely connection. Everything shifts in Comet’s ordinary world. Tobias has a dark past and runs with a tough crowd—and none of them are happy about his interest in Comet. Targeted by bullies and thrown into the spotlight, Comet and Tobias can go their separate ways…or take a risk on something extraordinary.

“Endearing and relatable, Comet-the girl who is searching for her place in this world-will shoot through the sky and into your heart.”

REVIEW: Comet is a shy girl who is her own person and doesn't want the lime light. She's happy to stay in the shadows and just get through school, she doesn't want to put herself out there. She has 2 friends that's enough for her.

Then Tobias comes to her school and everybody likes him, girls want to date him and guys want to be his friend. You remember that guy from school right? When partnered together with Comet she gets to learn more about him and his family and not everything is as it seems.

They have a slow burn chemistry, lots of things to learn about each other and outside influences to get through. I felt like I was back in school with my friends watching this all unfurl, my heart hurt at places, I wanted to yell at adults, pat Comet on the back for FINALLY saying something to her parents and just wanted to sigh at other places. 

Loved this sweet teen romance that spoke of harsh realities in today's world and handled it beautifully.
