Beautiful Broken Things is a moving story of friendship from debut author Sara Barnard, shortlisted for the YA Book Prize and selected as part of Zoella’s Book Club.
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 realizes, and Caddy is about to learn that downward spirals have a momentum of their own.

I liked how intriguing this book was and liked Rosie the best. However, I didn't like how dark and troubled Suze was as she was influencing Caddy in a bad way too.
It was okay but I think Suzannah is very manipulative
Beautiful Broken Things was indeed a fantastic read, filled with the highs an flows of friendships, happy moments, sad moments, utterly heartbreaker moments and all the real moments in between.
I loved Caddy right away, I think many years ago I was Caddy, longing to experience all the things the world tells us we should be experiencing, wanting to be more interesting, but not knowing how to do that. But I felt like Caddy was lost, looking for purpose. When Caddys best friend Rosie first introduces her to Suzanne, Caddy is incredibly insecure, worries that she'll lose Rosie to the more confidant, more beautiful Suzanne. But when Caddy learns Suzannes secret she begins to realise that perhaps there's room for another friend in her life.
Beautiful Broken Things was indeed a fantastic read, filled with the highs an flows if friendships, happy moments, sad moments, utterly heartbreaker mine t-shirts and all the real moments in between.
This is a very well written and meaningful book however I would not recommenced it to young people as it talks about many different topics.
I really like the fact it's a book about friendship. The description is very good, you can defiantly imagine what's happening and where the characters are.
This book is great because it's easy and fun to read, the characters have similarities to our everyday life so it's easy to connect to the characters.
