The Museum of Broken Things follows 18-year-old Reece. She has recently moved from a busy city to the small coastal town of Hamilton. Nothing feels right and she can’t help but miss her old life and her old friends.

Things start to take a turn for Reece after she is left a strange artefact in her grandmother’s will. This causes new relationships to form and new discoveries to be made about the town, the people in it, and even the life of Reece’s grandmother.

This is a very engaging novel, full of twists and turns that constantly left me wondering what would happen next. I enjoyed watching as each character grew and secrets began to unveil about their lives.

Overall, I would recommend this novel to anyone who is looking for a book that explores love, loss and everything in between.
