The Museum of Broken Things
The Museum of Broken Things | Lauren Draper
1 post | 1 read
I didn’t always live here. Not so long ago I was living in a thriving metropolis with more than one coffee shop on each block and four full bars of reception. I went to Heathmont High School, home to one thousand students, two best friends, a deeply average orchestra, and one cursed statue. Well, allegedly. Reece still isn’t used to living in the small beachside town of Hamilton: she misses her old school, her old friends and her old life. She can’t go back and she can’t move forward: nothing feels right anymore. Not that she’s trying very hard—she hasn’t even unpacked yet, and the only new friend she’s made is a middle-aged barista. But when Reece inherits a strange artefact that belonged to her beloved grandmother, she begins to unravel a mystery that might change the way she feels about everything around her, including her charismatic classmate Gideon... A lively, witty novel about letting go of the past and finding your place in the world, The Museum of Broken Things introduces a dazzling new voice in contemporary fiction.

A YA novel I was attracted by the name. Found the author who now lives in Melbourne grew up here in Western Australia . It‘s her first published novel. I haven‘t read a YA novel in a while. This one seemed to cover a lot of late teen angst. Maybe too many “ issues “ covered. A couple of mysteries run through the book and kept me reading.
Glad I did keep going as I felt good at the end.
