She Has a Broken Thing Where Her Heart Should Be by J.D. Barker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
If Netflix's Stranger Things and the movie Boyhood (the one filmed over 12 years) had a crossover, I would imagine this would be the book. While I was overwhelmed by the length at first (I had just finished Steven King's IT and wasn't sure if I wanted to spend another month on one single book), I am glad I gave this one a whirl.
It does not feel like a nearly 800-page book. It was hard to put down and all the characters felt well-developed and I was truly invested in the plot. It starts out as a seemingly normal coming of age book, but quickly becomes so so much more deep and twisted.
I highly recommend this one. Honestly I would not change a single thing about it. JD Barker is quickly eclipsing some of my favorite authors.
Thank you to NetGalley and the author for an ARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
