The Broken Girls
by Simone St. James
My first read from Simone St. James. And honestly it lived up to the hype.
The alternating storylines from 1950 with each of the girls boarding together at Idlewild Hall to the current storyline of Fiona and her investigations behind her sisters murder and the reconstruction of the boarding school grounds her sister was found on made this whole story so stunning. I didn’t figure out the twist until the moment right before it happened at the end and that was soooo fun. I felt like I was investigating right there next to Fiona.
ALSO! Can we just praise the spooky setting of Idlewild Hall?!? So creepy. Loved it. Especially in Vermont.
It was definitely a tale of twisted tales of tragedy, grief, and murders most foul, if you will.
I actually teared up when you hear the different stories of Sonia, Katie, Roberta, and CeCe. Heart wrenching.
The relationship between Fiona and her dad was lovely. The relationship between Fiona and Jamie was adorable— but also realistic, and that made it great to read.
Overall a fantastic read. I listened to the audiobook while I read the physical copy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
