Little Broken Things
Author: Nicole Baart
Genre: Mystery, Thriller (more like mystery and family drama)
Original publication date: November 2017
Book description: Quinn Cruz receives that cryptic text message from her older sister Nora, she doesn’t think much of it. They haven’t seen each other in nearly a year and thanks to Nora’s fierce aloofness, their relationship consists mostly of infrequent phone calls and an occasional email or text. But when a haunted Nora shows up at the lake near Quinn's house just hours later, a chain reaction is set into motion that will change both of their lives forever.
Thoughts:
So this is a slow-moving book. We have a lot of family drama and a lot of mystery in the way I was not expecting.
Nora comes across as a very bad sister. Why?
For most of the book she behaves is very self-centered, no matter she is trying to do something her attitude, her silence is frustrating.
Nora and Quinn's mother is also part of my least favorite characters for the majority of the story.
There is a lot of drama, secret-keeping but we definitely have a plot twist that you can see coming but it still feels like a decent reveal. Especially because for a good part of the story the characters want to send you in a very different direction.
I was surprised for this one mainly because it took me literally 3 years to finally get through this book. I had started this several times but it was a very slow start so I kept putting it down for a day or two that turned into months, so in the end, I had to restart it each and every time I tried to read it.
It was interesting enough.
