The Book of Broken Hearts

September 2, 2013
Young Jude is the last of her sisters still living at home. She spends the summer helping her father fix up his vintage motorcycle and even enlists the services of a handsome young mechanic. However, she quickly realizes that the mechanicâwith whom she becomes infatuatedâis a Vargas brother: someone she promised her sisters she would never date. Smoothly narrated by the youthful-sounding Zilah Mendoza, the novelâs inherent charm shines through. Mendozaâs rendition of Jude is similar to her narration, but her ability to breathe life into the character in a simple yet realistic manner truly makes this audio edition great. Mendozaâs voice is naturally likeable and friendly, just like Jude. Ages 14âup. A Simon Pulse hardcover.
