Beautiful Broken Things is character-driven novel that tries very hard to be significant. But just doesn’t delve deep enough to evoke the emotion needed to make it a memorable read. The whole storyline is the build-up to a major, life changing event that is going to happen… I knew it would happen…. eventually… The story dribbled on and on and I felt just blah. This is my favourite genre and usually the messed-up characters make a story come alive. The only character worth a mention is Suzanne, the troubled one. She was interesting and intense and I wish I could have heard her voice. She had something to say. The story is told via the POV of a quiet, dull character and there were parts of Suzanne’s story that were hinted at but not allowed to develop.
