Description
How do you mend the broken, be it toasters, relationships or people?
Julia once re-created broken objects to be better than before. Now she’s lost the will to repair anything, including herself.
A series of earthquakes triggered Julia’s descent into apathy and the COVID pandemic is driving her further down. She’s going to a support group for help – Obsessives Associated.
Each member has their own obsession to overcome – eating plasterboard, amassing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, brand-name tattoos.
They are collectively making progress until the vax/antivax divide splits the group.
Julia and her new friend Lynda – a doll-obsessed marathon runner – are on opposing sides. Which glue mends fractured humans?
Advance Praise
I loved the characters I wanted to sit down and give Julia a good talking to a few times in the story and was so incredibly satisfied when she finally saw sense.
Broken is Beautiful” was a rollicking good read from the beginning to the end. I loved it being set in a place and time. There are lots of relevant messages in it although quietly framed. I could see it being a book that ***** could give to her covid hesitant daughter.
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was woven with facts and embellished with characters and conversations I enjoyed.
