Book Review: Once Upon a Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber

---

My Review: 

​My controversial opinion on this book: it was eh. Felt like it was just going from one plot point to the next to get the story out as fast as possible, and I didn't really connect with any of the characters. That being said, I did enjoy the sister and--ALWAYS--Jacks. 

I had the same kind of feeling toward Caraval as well, but I enjoyed Legendary a lot more (I connected with Drusilla more, but even then, her thing with Jacks just felt like a plot device instead of something significant that made me want to feel bad for anything happening to either of them). I'm just a sucker for guys like Jacks, what can I say? 

I didn't really like the mc. I just... didn't. Love the hair color though, and that she had some redeemable qualities, but I was kind of over her after her introduction.

Anyway, it was a fine read and kept me entertained enough to keep reading, but I wouldn't reread or anything. I do plan on reading the second book, considering the second book of the original Caraval Trilogy was my favorite, so we'll see how that goes. 

Summary: 

How far would you go for happily ever after?

For as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in true love and happy endings... until she learns that the love of her life will marry another.

Desperate to stop the wedding and to heal her wounded heart, Evangeline strikes a deal with the charismatic but wicked Prince of Hearts. In exchange for his help, he asks for three kisses, to be given at the time and place of his choosing.

But after Evangeline’s first promised kiss, she learns that bargaining with an immortal is a dangerous game—and that the Prince of Hearts wants far more from her than she’d pledged. He has plans for Evangeline, plans that will either end in the greatest happily ever after or the most exquisite tragedy...
