The Broken Girls by Simone St. James


Ebook provided by NetGalley for review. Thank you.

Read October 2020

For a while I wasn't sure what to rate this book as everything seemed very disjointed. Part thriller, part ghost story and part holocaust story all told in dual timeline format.

Some of the writing style was a bit odd for the themes as well. There was an over-emphasis on how pretty certain characters were and a strange amount of time dedicated to how how the main character - Fiona's - boyfriend was and the lead up to their sexual relations.

All that aside the story was compelling and drew me in and I wanted to know what happened. Everything ended up weaving together very neatly and cleverly and I really appreciate the thought and effort that went into crafting the story. There was one element at the end that was kind of skimmed over and we never found out the outcome for definite.

4/5 stars
