Book Synopsis

From #1 New York Times-bestselling author Kami Garcia comes a red-hot romance between a fiery heroine and her mysterious classmate "that will break your heart and put it back together again" (Colleen Hoover, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of It Ends With Us).

Her heart has to break before it can open.

When star soccer player Peyton Rios receives an offer from her first-choice college, senior year starts off exactly as planned. But when Peyton uncovers her boyfriend’s dark secret, she confronts him—and finds herself falling down a flight of stairs. Peyton’s knee—and maybe her dream of going pro—is shattered. Everyone is talking: Was she pushed, or did she fall? Peyton knows the truth, even if no one believes her.

He has to let someone in before it’s too late.

With her future on the line, Peyton goes to stay with her uncle in a small Tennessee town to focus on her recovery. Dating is the last thing on her mind—until she meets sweet, sexy Owen Law.

But Peyton doesn’t trust her heart, especially when she senses that Owen is hiding something. When their secrets are finally exposed, Peyton has to decide if love is worth fighting for.

    This book caught my eye because I am a soccer player and the girl in the book is a soccer player. But turns out it is so much more than that. The love story tugged on my heart to the point where in the last 30 pages I was pacing back and forth through my living room. This book was exceptional and i recommend it to teens and up.

  • Broken Beautiful Hearts is absolutely outstanding.

    I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of the book. I’m beginning to realize I might need to adjust my stance on YA contemporaries.... Broken Beautiful Hearts is that good! I loved Peyton and her ENTIRE FAMILY, Owen was fantastic, the setting was superb and the plot was riveting. This book deftly dealt with really difficult topics in a timely manner that was so respectful to the audience - it did not talk down, demean, belittle, or preach. It was gritty, real, and honest. This made perfect sense after reading the author's note alluding to her personal history with some of the topic matters and I'm glad that she included that. I loved this sense of family highlighted in the book, I loved Peyton's fierce independence (as well as her growing maturity as she learned there is no weakness in accepting help), I loved the different nuances and intricacies in EACH relationship. And even I loved the plot twist that almost made me drop my kindle (and shattered my poor little heart too). I'm a little jaded when it comes to Young Adult contemporaries, but now I'm convinced I must give the genre another try - starting with Kami Garcia's The Lovely Reckless. Broken Beautiful Hearts is absolutely outstanding. 5 out of 5 wine glasses.

  • A Wonderful Romance

    First Thoughts I wasn't sure how up my alley Broken Beautiful Hearts would be initially, but I've loved Kami's other books, so I gave it a shot. I'm glad I did, because I really enjoyed it! I played soccer when I was younger, and I still love the sport, so I was really excited to learn that the main character played. Characters The main character is Peyton Rios, high school senior and star soccer player. I really liked and related to her as a character. Sometimes, I feel like I just want to yell at a character until they do the right thing. What made this great, is Peyton often took a solid course of action, but things would still go wrong. It's a sign of good storytelling when a character can do everything right and still get screwed over. If I knew Peyton in real life, I have a feeling we'd be friends and get along really well. World Building Most of the book takes place in two locations, Washington DC and Black Water, Tennessee. The descriptions of Black Water felt very realistic to a southern small town. DC on the other hand felt off. I lived there when I was younger, and have family who still lives there. The main thing is that the character can just drive anywhere she wants, no mention of traffic. Characters can't just drive anywhere they want in a decent amount of time. That said, the Black Water description felt pretty well done.

    Another YA book that I loved!!! Again, I don’t really do the YA books, but between this book and another YA Book, I’m might be a convert... at least for Kami Garcia’s Books!!! I really like a book where one of the characters has some sort of injury or malady. So this as perfect! This story had a little bit of everything. There was romance, suspense and sweetness. Definitely a YA author I will read again!
