Best Kind of Broken by Chelsea Fine
5.0
Who knew that having two people share a bathroom could lead to so much?
‘Best kind of Broken’ is a well written; heartbreakingly perfect novel about two people coming together after a tragic accident and recovering what they’d lost. When reading the blurb for this novel, I was quite dubious about whether it would be any good or not but from the moment I read the first word I was proved wrong, and this remained true throughout the entirety of the novel.
Livi Andrews and Sarah ‘Pixie’ Marshall haven’t spoken in almost a year, since the death of Pixie’s best friend and Livi’s younger sister; Charity. However they soon find themselves working - and living - at Pixie’s Aunt Ellen’s Inn for the summer.
Filled with amusing, lovable characters, perfect balance, vivid imagery and original descriptions, ‘Best Kind of Broken’ leaves you thirsting from the first page, to discover exactly what happened in the past, and what will happen in the future. Fine teases out the details, allowing the reader to notice it all rather than telling them straight out, creating an easily digestible novel full of awkward tension, unmistakable chemistry and impeccably blissful moments between Levi and Pixie.
This novel gripped me from the very beginning and I found the characters instantly snapped into place, in a faultless, yet seemingly effortless endeavour by the author. There was a perfect balance between narration and dialogue. The way Fine focused on an array of characteristics and aspects, enabled her to create lovable, realistic 3D characters that will dig their way into your heart and stay there.
There was no hyperbole nor any neurotic far-fetched characters to be seen anywhere in this story, a great relief after spending so long wading through novels with great potential, only to be let down by the illogical and overanxious descriptions and characters.
I absolutely loved this novel and cannot wait to continue reading this series and any other work by Chelsea Fine.
