Family drama with a hint of suspense, Heartbroken by Lisa Unger takes the reader to Heart Island and into the complicated relationships that exist between mothers and daughters. Unger seamlessly weaves together differing mother-daughter relationships to further develop an intricate plot, which slowly builds into a rather well thought out and suspenseful plot. Going into the book I was expecting Heartbroken to be more of in-your-face suspense/thriller, however Unger takes the book into a different direction and makes it work quite well. I enjoyed reading the complex relationships and watching the story unfold and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quick summer read.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of Heartbroken through the Amazon VINE Program, for review.
