Other Broken Things By C.Desir
- A Rating of 4 stars
- The main setting of the book takes place in an old house meant for AA meetings
- The main character Natalie is a 17 year old girl who is just trying to find her way in life but things just keep bringing her down so she ends up turning to alcohol
- In Other Broken Things Natalie starts off in the book straight out of rehab because she was with her friends and being reckless, they drove a car intoxicated and she now has to attend six months of AA meetings. Natalie attends the AA meetings frequently and ends up meeting a potential love interest named Joe however he's quite a bit older. Natalie is pretty much all on her own throughout the book she loses a lot of friends because they just want to party and Natalie is still trying to get better.
- The main conflict of the book is when Natalie meets Joe at AA meetings, Natalie ends up falling in love with Joe but the issue is, is that Joe is over twenty years older then Natalie! Regardless of the situation they know they cant be anything more then friends but Natalie's already going through a lot with recovering and trying to deal with her "new life" temptation becomes extra harder for her.
- I would defiantly recommend this book to anyone who could maybe relate to Natalie or is going through a lot because this book really does just put it how it is no sugar coating. However some aspects in "Other Broken Things" is rather dark it covers sexual assault, alcohol and drug abuse and self harm but I defiantly think its worth the read. If you have ever seen or read "recovery road" relates to other broken things a lot.
