Beautiful Broken Things by Sara Barnard
4.0
This was a really fast read, but still managed to be compelling. I also loved that it that focused on friendship rather than romantic relationships. I'm a sucker for a love story, but it was refreshing to read a story where that wasn't the primary point.
I did get a slight sense of the "manic pixie dream girl" trope towards the middle of the novel, but in a friendship kind of way. If that makes sense.
There were a few characters, like Rosie and Tarin, that I felt could have been developed further, and at times I think the dialogue felt a bit unnatural.
But overall it was an enjoyable story.
