Beautiful Broken Things- Sara Barnard

Hello All, 

Well I'm back with a none series book that took my breath away and I can't wait to share with you the thoughts on such a thought provoking book. I was a bit iffy that it was a childrens book however this is something that children should understand in this ever changing world. 

I was brave
She was reckless
We were trouble

Best friends Caddy and Rosie are inseparable. Their differences have brought them closer, but as she turns sixteen Caddy begins to wish she could be a bit more like Rosie - confident, funny and interesting. Then Suzanne comes into their lives: beautiful, damaged, exciting and mysterious, and things get a whole lot more complicated. As Suzanne's past is revealed and her present begins to unravel, Caddy begins to see how much fun a little trouble can be. But the course of both friendship and recovery is rougher than either girl realizes, and Caddy is about to learn that downward spirals have a momentum of their own.

5 Star Review

This book I have to say is breath taking and the entire time your reading it your rooting for Suze to get the help she needs. This is a great children's book that will also speak to every parent and adult out there. It will also touch base with every teenager out there who is finding life hard and doesn't know what to do to make things better. I have to say that is what really made me think this was a five star book. 

The writing was perfection and was done to such a high standard that made me want to get nothing else done than reading about a world that doesn't seem to far away from what I grew up with. Living in Scotland and being in a small town we had a few Suzies and I was friends with one of them. I ended up being forced to take the route that Rosie took instead of Caddy. 

There is warning in here that must be understood by parents and I don't want to spell it out because it will ruin the book for all those of you considering it. I will say though, this is a must read for all. We could all use a lesson in understanding and being more aware of situations such as these. 

I hope that you will agree with my review and will be like myself, not only happy with my purchase but interested in seeing what other work this author comes up with.
