Broken threads by Sagit Schwartz

5.0

This short story came at the perfect time for me. Having read, and loved, Sagit's first book and being very (very) far from my reading goal for 2024, I needed a short read I knew I'd enjoy. Sagit did not disappoint. I love the premise of the plot and how the story moves. It manages to move quickly as a short story, but take us over a span of a few months. It really shows that people down on their luck are willing to go to great lengths for their five minutes of fame and how those five minutes can become lethal. I love how Sagit tied together pieces of the story and left us wondering, did Clare do it on purpose? Does she feel any remorse? Can't wait to read more from her.
