Title: The Unbroken Hearts Club
Author: Brooke Carter
Genre: YA/Romance/Family
Rating: *****
Review: We are introduced to Logan whose mother has passed away from Huntington’s disease and she has come to realise how different she and her father are. While her father starts a support group and wants to talk about the loss of his wife, Logan just wants to be left alone, preferably in her darkroom. We also know that her best friend Cole has a major crush on her, but she doesn’t feel like she can return his feelings whether this is because of grief, being asexual or something else is unknown as of yet.
Since it has been nearly a year since her mother’s death, Logan’s father decides to hold a support group in their basement and ropes Logan into helping possibly with the hope that it will help Logan deal with her own grief which seems to be consuming her and leaving her unable to process her mother’s death and move on.
As time goes by Logan and sees her father moving on with a woman named Kelsey who is also part of the support group. After a huge fight with Cole over whether or not she will ever be able to love him the same way he loves her, the emotional blindfold Logan has been hiding behind is ripped away and the first person she turns to is Kelsey, but she does feel that she is missing out on something special with Cole but doesn’t yet have the drive to fight for it.
The ending of The Unbroken Hearts Club was beautiful even though it almost made me cry. It kind of has a Fault in Our Stars vibe but focuses on those left behind rather than on those that have the illness. It is a short, emotional read that I highly recommend.
