Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber

1.0

This books was an unbearable slog to get through. It follows Evangeline, who is trying to move on with her life after making a disaster out deal with a Fate, Jacks. 

So boring. So so boring. And childish! Everything about this book felt so superficial and random. Eva was silly and had such shallow characterization, and no one around her was any better. It felt like a children’s story that was for some reason expanded into a full length novel. I was not a fan of the writing style at all, and the plot and characters weren’t interesting at all. There’s a line that’s something like “Let’s find the perfect outfit to meet a vampire!” (yes there’s vampires for some unknown reason), which I think sums up how ridiculous the whole book is. I will not be continuing this series and couldn’t care less what happens to any of the characters. 

If you want very easy-to-read YA about a fairy tale-esque story, this could be for you, but not for me.
