Hearts, Strings, and Other Breakable Things

Hearts, Strings, and Other Breakable Things | Jacqueline Firkins

6 posts | 6 read | 4 to read

In this charming debut about first love and second chances, a young girl gets caught between the boy next door and a playboy. Perfect for fans of To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. Mansfield, Massachusetts, is the last place seventeen-year-old Edie Price wants to spend her final summer before college. It’s the home of wealthy suburban mothers and prima donnas like Edie’s cousins, who are determined to distract her from her mother’s death with cute boys and Cinderella-style makeovers. She’s got her own plans, and they don’t include any prince charming. But as she dives into schoolwork and getting a scholarship for college, Edie finds herself drawn to two Mansfield boys strumming for her attention: First, there’s Sebastian, Edie’s childhood friend and first love, who’s sweet and smart and . . . already has a girlfriend. Then there’s Henry, the local bad boy and all-around player who’s totally off limits—even if his kisses are chemically addictive. Both boys are trouble. Edie can’t help herself from being caught between them. Now, she just has to make sure it isn’t her heart that breaks in the process.

Another sweet YA adaptation of Mansfield Park. I liked the Henry/Fanny relationship here more than in any other adaptation I've read, probably because this leading lady ("Edie") isn't the meek wallflower we're used to. The dialogue might feel overly clever to some (are we to believe these teens have so many literary quips on the tips of their tongues?) but I have to admit, I found it charming. This one gets an A from me! #PemberLittens

Meh

so-so

There was a character arc, but I didn‘t really agree with how it ended. I think the main character deserved better than who she chose.

blurb

Hearts, Strings, and Other Breakable Things | Jacqueline Firkins

Edie was adopted by her aunt and uncle from foster care. Her new life in Mansfield, until she moves to UMB for college, is different than the city. She now lives next door to her childhood crush, who she discovers now has a girlfriend. However, there‘s also Henry, player and egoist, who she also begins to have feelings for as well. Whose heart will be broken?
