The Broken Girls by Simone St. James
4.25
challenging dark mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix

What I love about St James is that she knows how to write books that just suck you in.

Told via multiple perspectives; Fiona in 2014 a journalist still coming to terms with her sister's murder 20 years previously who was found on the grounds of Idlewild Hall and Roberta, Katie, Cece, and Sonia in 1949-1950 who were girls sent to Idlewild Hall, a school for unruly girls.

This is one of those books where it's hard to just say "one more chapter " because you'll be saying it until you finish.

I thoroughly enjoyed each girls perspective of living in Idlewild Hall and can only image how soul crushing and desparing the place was on them. I also rooted for Fiona, for never giving up and always looking for more answers.

Read this book!
