Book Review - Broken Things

📖Recommend for Grades 10 and up📖
by Lauren Oliver
            Five years ago Summer was found dead and everyone thinks her two best friends Brynn and Mia, along with her boyfriend Owen, are the killers. As the town gears up to remember Summer on the fifth anniversary of her death, Brynn and Mia just so happen to be reunited after Summer’s death caused them to drift apart. When a clue is discovered by Mia that may help find the real murderer, both girls reconnect with Owen and the three try to find the real killer together and just how the book they were obsessed with plays a role.
            This mystery will truly leave readers guessing. Woven into the story are snippets from the (made up for the story) book Summer, Brynn, and Mia are obsessed with, as well as the parts of the sequel they were writing before Summer’s death. The story also alternates between Brynn and Mia’s perspectives of today with some of the past woven in. At times Mia and Brynn can come across as irritating and jaded but it is excusable based on their backstory.
