This was definitely a case of right book at the right time for me, I absolutely loved it! 

Once Upon a Broken Heart follows Evangeline, forced to make a deal with the Prince of Hearts for true love. However, she quickly learns that bargaining with a Fate is not a good idea. What does he really want from her? 

I want to preface my review by highlighting that the writing style felt very young. I would say that it was on the much younger side of YA. Almost a stopgap between Middle Grade and YA fiction. I absolutely loved it, I found it so quick and easy to read, I didn’t need to think very hard. But I know that this writing style won’t suit everyone’s tastes. I also loved the enchanting world that Garber created. I was swept away by magic, miniature dragons that can make delicious treats and true love. 

I feel so confused now that I’ve finished reading because I still have no idea what’s actually going on and who can be trusted. 

Garber was able to completely blindside me with one twist which I always love. I also adored how the different truths and layers were slowly peeled back, showing quite a complex plot and characters. Each unfurling layer brought new revelations and questions. I just could not get enough and cannot wait to read more by Garber now!

I would recommend this books to fans of YA fantasy novels, as long as you don’t mind it being on the younger side.
