Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber
5.0
adventurous fast-paced

This was a hot mess book. A More Is More book. The fantasy lore just kept coming and I had no idea where we were going. And I LOVED that.

Plus, our heroine was so dumb that she was basically an unreliable narrator. And I was entertained 😂 She was a golden retriever, her natural hair colour was pink, and she was Just Ken. Good natured, hot, and highly credulous.

The cutesy-ness of the story had me totally fooled. I was like, “this is really enjoyable but how intense (and therefore five stars territory) could it possibly get?”

And then it just went full teen drama Vampire Diaries; (silly) love triangles, (over the top) betrayals, (out of nowhere) problems… It was so stupid!

And I was living 😂
