Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber

  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.0

The admittedly charming prose got buried under the melodrama and an ocean of second hand embarrassment. 

Mysterious jerk of a boy is cruel but intriguing to a Unusual orphaned protagonist with hidden importance. The story felt vaguely glitzy- when I wasn’t wincing- but the characters felt shallow and hard to care about.

Definitely not my cup of tea.
