Student Book Reviews

I WAS BRAVE.

                     SHE WAS RECKLESS.

                                                               WE WERE TROUBLE.

Beautiful Broken Things is a book about an inseparable friendship becoming more and more separable. The book is written in the context of a girl called, Caddy. Caddy is smart but quiet, and feels like her parents only care about her grades. She has a decent lifestyle and a good amount of money. Her best friend, Rosie, is basically the complete opposite. She doesn’t go to the best school and doesn’t really have much of a family. Then, a new girl arrives at Rosie’s school, Suzanne. Suzanne had an extremely troubled past - including her dad abusing her - so she is now trying to escape what she was and start a new life. Things change, and as Caddy tries to learn more about the new girl, she gets a little jealous about Rosie’s friendship with Suzanne. She then grows closer to Suzanne, but becomes less close with Rosie. Each girl changes throughout the story, each wanting something out of the life they were given. Caddy and Rosie were best friends.

And no one can break your heart like a best friend.
