The Heartbreak Hotel by Ellen O'Clover
5.0
emotional funny reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Spoilers:  

I loved the characters Lou and Henry. Trauma is something that is apart of life for some. Sometimes we don’t realize we need people or help until we literally fall apart. 

I didn’t like the discussion with the 5yr old about nonbinary issues. There is only male and female. 

Also didn’t like the LGBTQ references in the story that wasn’t mentioned in the book summary for BOTM. And also the foul language, I think it could be toned down a bit. 

But I am giving it 5 stars because of the story, the characters and the connections between the clients that booked at the inn.
