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.”


— #1 New York Times bestselling author Erin Watt






Review//

People always expect extraordinary things from a girl named Comet. I know I did and Samantha Young did not disappoint one tiny bit. 

This book was just what I didn't know I was looking for. The Fragile Ordinary is anything but it's name, ordinary. This was a book that will take you soaring into the sky with the bright young girl. Comet is just trying to find her place in a world that expects such extraordinary things from her. This YA romance was so heart warming and magnifying just as you would expect from an incredible author like Samantha Young.

This book was real time, showing us the issues that students and teens deal with in their everyday high school settings, the peer pressures and cliques that are formed and this was such a beautiful tale of how Comet navigated her world.

When I started this story, I couldn't put it down. This was my second YA book from Sam Young, with the first The Impossible Vastness of Us being my favorite read of 2017, and I sure hope this won't be my last. I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. So well written. If this isn't normally your genre, take a chance. Because I promise you won't be disappointed.
