Book Review – Broken Beyond Repair by Emily Banting
Broken Beyond Repair by Emily Banting
First published, 2022
Classic bit of sapphic writing here, with some gorgeous tropes including the ice queen, the age gap, and learning to love and trust, and all that lovely stuff.
A famous and elusive actress, Beatrice, who can never keep a PA for more than six months has her work cut out for her when an accident on set leaves her in desperate need of an assistant. Writing her memoirs in the downtime is going to be tough, but if she doesn’t learn to be honest, it’s going to be even harder. And then she meets Sydney…
Now, the thing is this: I took my time warming up to this one. I kept on, because I’m stubborn and refuse to be defeated by a book, but actually, I think I was just in a funny mood because once I gave it a chance, I really loved the novel. The characters were believable, the dialogue was crisp and it was a very enjoyable story.
