Fierce Fragile Hearts by Sara Barnard


'This time around, I'm going to be so much better. I'm going to prove to them that it was worth waiting on me.'

Two years after a downward spiral took her as low as you can possibly go, Suzanne is starting again. Again. She's back in Brighton, the only place she felt she belonged, back with her best friends Caddy and Rosie. But they're about to leave for university. When your friends have been your light in the darkness, what happens when you're the one left behind?

Fierce Fragile Hearts is the stunning sequel to international bestseller Beautiful Broken Things.


I adored Beautiful Broken Things and was so excited to get my hands on this book. It is such a wonderful YA novel. It picks up two years after the previous book and returns to Suzanne as she begins again starting a new life in Brighton.

Suzanne's story was really heart wrenching as her story develops. I was particularly struck by her loneliness as she adapts to living by herself for the first time. I really loved it because it made me really feel for Suzanne and think about other young care leavers and the struggles they face as they become adults and have to cope without the support that their peers would have from family members.

A really awesome read which I'll be recommending for a long while to come.
