Beautiful Broken Things by Sara Barnard
3.0
I wanted to like this since it's about female friendships and set in Britain but the characters were just so meh to me.
Caddy- what the hell?? I can't believe she was jealous of her sister for having a mental illness and her best friend for having a dead sister because it made them more 'interesting' than her. Caddy had a stable home situation, good friends and a good education but apparently that's too boring for her.
Rosie- nice...boring.. also a slut shamer so
Suzanne- manipulative but understandably why. I felt sympathetic towards her in some situations but thought her actions were downright stupid in others.
Overall the main characters stopped me from enjoying this book as much as I wanted to but there were parts I liked and the writing style was easy to read and get into
