Beautiful Broken Girls

by Kim Savage

After two teenage sisters, Mira and Francesca, drown themselves in a neighbourhood quarry, their next-door neighbour Ben receives post-mortem letters from Mira. This letter challenges Ben to track down the hidden, cryptic notes hidden in seven places alluding to where the two secretly touched. As Ben uncovers each note, he starts to unravel the hidden lies and secrets that these girls kept, and just how complicated their bonds with the outside world were.

I think my interest in this book might have been greater than the ability of it to actually capture my interest. The plot felt a little disjointed, a little predictable after a certain point, and I wasn't really sure what was actually the inner conflict with Mira. Everything felt like it touched the surface of a very complicated lake, but we never dove in.

Although, I have heard that Savage's other title, "After the Woods" is far better. Willing to give it another shot.
