Hearts, Strings, and Other Breakable Things by Jacqueline Firkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book was exactly what I needed right now. I have been reading emotionally charged novels lately and needed something on the lighter side. This is a retelling of Mansfield Park. After spending three years in foster care after the death of her mother, Edie is moving in with her uncle, aunt, and two cousins. She knows that this is only temporary until she graduates high school and heads out to college in the fall. Soon after moving in, she rekindles her friendship with Sebastian, the cute next-door neighbour and she discovers that she has strong feelings for him. Sebastian is dating Claire and their relationship is pretty serious. Edie tries her best to stay away but he is like a magnet and she keeps wanting to see him until she meets Henry, Claire’s brother. For a while, she stays away from Henry because she thinks he is a player, but he proves her wrong. Edie is caught between her love for Sebastian and Henry. Who will she choose?
The story is light and fun. There are the usual teenage drama and all the ups and downs of teenage love. This is a fantastic novel.
