BookoftheMonth BuddyRead Sunday. We read chapters 1-7 for today’s discussion. This is not my usual genre at all but I have to say so far I love it. Chapter 8 (okay I peaked a little) starts with Books were her salvation. TRUE STORY. This sums me up as well.
Vermont, 1950. There’s a place for the girls whom no one wants—the troublemakers, the illegitimate, the too smart for their own good. It’s called Idlewild Hall. And in the small town where it’s located, there are rumors that the boarding school is haunted. Four roommates bond over their whispered fears, their budding friendship blossoming—until one of them mysteriously disappears… Vermont, 2014. As much as she’s tried, journalist Fiona Sheridan cannot stop revisiting the events surrounding her older sister’s death. Twenty years ago, her body was found lying in the overgrown fields near the ruins of Idlewild Hall. And though her sister’s boyfriend was tried and convicted of murder, Fiona can’t shake the suspicion that something was never right about the case.
When Fiona discovers that Idlewild Hall is being restored by an anonymous benefactor, she decides to write a story about it. But a shocking discovery during the renovations will link the loss of her sister to secrets that were meant to stay hidden in the past—and a voice that won’t be silenced…..
I so love reading in my Sunday Book of the Month BuddyReads. Reading the books slowly, processing and discussing what we’ve read is such an added bonus to every book we read. Especially if the book is HORRIBLE. This book, The Broken Girls, is so far quite lovely. Thankfully! Sunday afternoons and book discussion. Perfect way to start the week.
Week One discussion here we go!
