Shatterproof K K Weil 9781509203956 Books Reviews
This story shook me to the core. It is so emotional and so layered. It is so much more than just another New adult novel.
Shatterproof starts slow but once it gets its momentum is absolutely amazing. Griffin Stone and Frankie Moore met at the shelter for battered women where Frankie lives after she went homeless and where Griffin is helping battered women by doing the sculptures for them. At first Griffin thinks that Frankie is also a victim of abuse, but when she tells him a truth (which is that she was never a victim, but almost become one) he is already too much into her to stop their relationship.
Griffin is a son of abuse and his mother never left his abusive father. He thinks that he will also become abusive and that’s why he doesn’t want a serious relationship. Frankie is a college graduate and she is “jump first, think later” kind of person. She knows that she would like to become a professional photographer, but does not pursue this goal very diligently. Their worlds, but especially Griffin’s, are completely changed when they meet and fall in love,.
Although Frankie is not sure what to do with her life, she is strong girl and she is the one who helps Griffin to cast away his demons. She does not take any stupidity from him and she pushes him out of his comfort zone. Griffin is a dark and complex character. At the beginning of the story he is full of rage. He resents his father and has strong mixed feelings about his mother.
The topic of Shatterproof goes beyond a love story. The author deals with issue of domestic violence, children who are witnessing it and the question why victims stay in abusive relationship. But it also demystifies the idea that domestic violence is related to poverty or particular social status, because Griffin parents are neither poor nor his father is alcoholic.
Shatterproof is a great story written from a dual POV that deals realistically with the issue of domestic violence. Readers should be warned that the story contains scenes of violence without which the story would not be authentic. So if one does not have problem with it, read this story, it is truly magnificent.

I enjoy getting involved in other peoples's lives. Griffin and the women in the shelter feed off each other. How awful to see how an abusive parent effects not only the abused child, but all the people he comes into contact with. Luckily, as with Griffin, he finds his way to love.
The author's incredible writing illuminates the real life struggle of living with domestic violence. Unique, thorough, artistic, sensitive...not enough adjectives to describe the skillful way Ms. Weil unfolds and shares the pain of living with abuse and the struggle to survive.
I can't wait to read all of her books.
After enjoying "At This Stage" by K.K. Weil a couple of years back, I was wondering what the author would do as an encore. "Shatterproof" takes a character from the first book and explores his life, from Griffin's childhood and young adult years where he witnessed his father physically abusing his mother (and his mother not leaving his father), to his adult years, where Griffin did everything he could to not be like his father. Now you don't have to read "At This Stage" first to know the back story, but if you don't, you are also missing a different story that is also told extremely well.
In "Shatterproof", Griffin meets Frankie, who is unlike anyone Griffin has met before. Usually his time with women are one night stands or short flings, but he sees something different with Frankie, and it scares him because he thinks allowing himself to get close may turn him into his abusive father.
Griffin has outlets, molding clay into figures for clients, volunteering his time to help abused women, his many discussions with his former high school teacher Mr. Roth, and hanging out with his best friend Sarah. But he needs more.
This story, expertly told by K.K. Weil, brought me through the ups and downs of the relationship that Griffin and Frankie made, and the struggles to overcome the odds that the son of an abusive father has. I highly recommend Shatterproof to anyone 16 and over (mild violence and some minor sex scenes). Great work, K.K. Weil!
