Publisher Description
A heart-stoppingly beautiful debut novel about what it means to be a friend when your whole world is falling apart.
I was brave. She was reckless. We were trouble.
Best friends Caddy and Rosie are inseparable. Their differences have brought them closer, but as she turns sixteen Caddy begins to wish she could be a bit more like Rosie - confident, funny and interesting.
Then Suzanne comes into their lives: beautiful, damaged, exciting and mysterious, and things get a whole lot more complicated. As Suzanne's past is revealed and her present begins to unravel, Caddy begins to see how much fun a little trouble can be. But the course of both friendship and recovery is rougher than either girl realises, and Caddy is about to learn that downward spirals have a momentum of their own.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
From the very first chapter, we were totally hooked on Sara Barnard’s debut, the kind of YA book that resonates no matter how old you are. Caddy and Rosie have been best friends for more than 10 years. When the gorgeous but evasive Suzanne moves to Brighton, she and Rosie develop a strong bond that shakes things up. Ultimately, Barnard’s three heroines end up playing a major role in each other’s lives, providing laughter, support and truth-telling during dark moments and upheaval. Beautiful Broken Things is a crisply written, entertaining and truthful coming-of-age story that celebrates young women’s friendships.
