Broken Things by Lauren Oliver
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Aug 26-Sep 7
It’s been five years since Summer Marks was brutally murdered in the woods.
Everyone thinks Mia and Brynn killed their best friend. That driven by their obsession with a novel called The Way into Lovelorn the three girls had imagined themselves into the magical world where their fantasies became twisted, even deadly.
The only thing is: they didn’t do it.
On the anniversary of Summer’s death, a seemingly insignificant discovery resurrects the mystery and pulls Mia and Brynn back together once again. But as the lines begin to blur between past and present and fiction and reality, the girls must confront what really happened in the woods all those years ago—no matter how monstrous.
Review : I loved this book it was crazy. Mia and Brynn five years ago kill summer only they didn’t kill her but they have been marked as murders by the small town. Brynn has been faking being an addict so she can stay in rehab. Mia wants to solve summer’s murder so with the help of her friend abby Brynn’s cousin wade and owen Mia’s past love they go back into lovelorn. Lovelorn was a book that summer was obsessed with and summer Brynn and Mia wrote a sequel and they would pretend to go to lovelorn but it wasn’t pretend to summer that day in the woods.

Quotes:
That’s the thing about hearts. They don’t get put back together, not really. They just get patched. But the damage is still there.”
The problem with fairy tales isn’t that they don’t exist. It’s that they do exist, but only for some people.”
In books, secret worlds are accessible by doors or keys or other physical objects. But Lovelorn was not such a world, and appeared at whim and only when it felt like it, with a subtle change like the slow shifting of afternoon to evening.”
