The Broken Girls by Simone St. James

dark emotional hopeful mysterious sad tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? Yes

4.5

It’s entirely horrible and sad and I absolutely loved it.
My chest was heavy with grief and and sympathy and horror throughout the entire book and yet Broken Girls got it’s claws around my heart and dove in, leaving a mark that will never disappear entirely.
The ugly, the tears, the rage… it’s all part of an amazing story, told in dual times but including more than that. From the 1940’s till 2014. The generational grief in this book is something i hope we never forget.
Historical fiction with very real events, mystery, murder, thriller, supernatural, psychological horror, romance, evil women and bad ass smart girls, it has it all.
