Heartbroken
By Lisa Unger
Emily is stuck in a dead end job with
a fiancé who will do anything for a fix. Kate has two beautiful children and
has finally found a husband who is perfect for her and is about to release her
first novel using her grandmothers and aunts journals for inspiration. Birdie
is a cold woman set in her ways the only thing that ever makes her happy is
being on her island on a lake in the Adirondacks that her family has owned for
generations. These three women mingle in an intertwining story that will lead
each of them to a fight for their very lives.
I think that if the characters had
been more relatable this novel would have been brilliant but as the novel is
written you have Birdie who is rich and snooty, her daughter Kate who is a
perpetual pushover who just now comes out of her shell, then Emily who is young
and in love with a drug addict and has perpetually helped him with schemes to
swindle people. I found no way to relate to any of these characters so as I am
reading it I am not fully drawn into the story. Towards the end the novel does
pick up with amazing scenes full of action and suspense it is just getting to
this part that is a bit slow.
