While some of the aspects may have been a little fantastic to believe, and I pieced together some of it early on, it didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the story.Īs everyone knows, I’m a romance junkie and this one did not disappoint. Madsen did an excellent job of creating the air of suspense around this puzzle and I was anxious to piece it together and solve it. I was riveted by the mystery of Olivia’s accident and loss of memory. This story gripped me from the first pages. Olivia feels a growing need to find out what really happened the night of her accident, but can she handle the truth? Yet, he’s the only one she feels she can confide in when her dreams become more frequent, more real, more disturbing. One minute he’s helping her and the next he’s insulting. Then there’s Spencer, the cute loner guy with shaggy brown hair and “geek-sheik” glasses who runs hot and cold with her. One side wants to fit in and the other does nothing but mock the in-crowd. Olivia would like to make friends, but the voices in her head have conflicting ideas about that. Right away she makes friends with Keira, a nice girl, but a follower of the popular crowd. Now Olivia is faced with starting a new school, making friends, with no idea of who she is or what her past contained. Plus, there’s the fact that as soon as she was well enough, they picked up and left Minnesota, and great jobs, and moved to a small town in Arizona. Are they really dreams, or could she be remembering events from her past? Whenever she asks her parents for details, they clam up and get upset and evasive. What’s more disturbing though, is that she can hear two distinct voices in her head and dreams that don’t make sense, and feel far too real. She has only her parent’s version of what happened, a terrible car accident, and not many details. Olivia wakes up with no memories, tubes in her arm, staples in her head and a scar on her chest. All the Broken Pieces just blew my mind in a good way, and I loved it! Cindi Madsen crafted a fascinating and mind bending mystery, and a swoony slow-building romance that left me in a puddle on the floor.
