Year 4, week 29: The Broken Girls

This week's book:
The Broken Girls
By Simone St. James

This book was a buddy read for a reading challenge that I'm in. A dear friend of mine read this late last year and loved it; sadly she read it as an e-book so I couldn't borrow (steal) it from her. My first Book of the Month book ever last January was another St. James book and I liked it very much. 

This book sucked me in right away. The story is split between two places in time. The modern 2014, where a journalist is trying to write an article about the sight of her older sister's murder at a former the boarding school. The rest of the book takes place in the fall of 1950 at an all girls boarding school for troubled girls, where there seems to be a ghost haunting all the girls. Each of the 1950 chapters is told from the point of view or one of the girls that live at the boarding school. 

I don't want to give too much, but I really liked this book. If you like ghost stories and creepiness, check this one out!
