Broken Things

LAUREN OLIVER (HODDER & STOUGHTON, £17.99) Five years ago, Summer was found dead in the woods, apparently murdered by her best friends Mia and Brynn. Now, the case is back under the spotlight, meaning Mia and Brynn must confront their past and the shared obsession that led them to become suspects. But if Mia and Brynn didn’t kill Summer, who did? Lauren Oliver handles the hormonal haywire of troubled teenagers with skill, and doesn’t flinch when it comes to delving deep into the darkest of minds. ★★★★ Sarah Hughes
