The Broken Girls by Simone St. James

Took me a long time to finish this one due to many factors, including out-of-state company.

I thought this was a good book, a mystery that was told in alternating times, 2014 and 1950.

1950, Idlewild Hall, a school for troubled girls.  Katie, CeCe, Roberta and Sonia are roommates who learn to lean on each other and become best friends.  When one of them goes missing, the girls stop at nothing to find her.

2014, Fiona Sheridan, a journalist, is still going over the death of her sister, Deb, that happened 20yrs prior.  Deb's boyfriend went to jail for her murder but Fiona just can not let it rest.  When Fiona finds out that Idlewild Hall is being restored, she decides to write a story about it.  A shocking discovery and what she finds out along the way will forever connect the two and the town will never be the same.


Honestly, I could've done without Mary Hand.  She was creepy, sure, but the unrealistic way that she was portrayed and the things she "showed" you just was a little much for me.
