If
the Broom Fits
by
Sarah Sutton
Genre:
YA Contemporary Romance
Halloween
really is the worst.
Blaire’s
got to be the only person on the planet who hates Halloween. At least
the only person in her small town, which practically worships the
holiday. Ugh. And it doesn’t help that her super-hot ex-boyfriend,
Lucas, is determined to convince her otherwise by making her take
part in “festive activities.” Apparently carving pumpkins and
watching scary movies is going to magically change her mind about the
holiday? Yeah, right.
But
Blaire has never told anyone the truth of why she hates Halloween or
the truth about why she broke up with Lucas. She’s definitely never
told anyone about how much she second-guesses that decision. Being
around him is so much harder than she thought, especially when it
looks like he's starting to move on.
And
when she gets a letter in the mail from someone who broke her heart,
can Blaire overcome the negativity drowning her? Or will her
bitterness and secrets push everyone she loves away?

My Rating - 4 Stars!
For this book however, I am struggling with actually calling it a romance. Yes, Blaire is struggling with her ex, Lucas. Yes, they clearly will end up back together again. And yes, Lucas makes for a fantastic young man. But, to me, this is more of a coming of age tale, as Blaire has to deal with family issues and her subsequent fears and insecurities. Blaire is dealing with how to handle problems with her father, and how to move forward with things.
When the story starts we don't know why Blaire has broken up with Lucas. The author reveals things over the course of the book. Personally, I wasn't surprised with the reason and had assumed that was the case early on. So, don't expect much mystery.
All the characters are likable, including Blaire and Lucas's mutual best friend, who is in an awkward spot yet handles it better than most teens would. Honestly, I was shocked at how much I loved their friend.
Also, if you enjoy Halloween, this read will definitely get you into the enjoyment of the season. The author spares no expense at illustrating fun Halloween events.
I absolutely love the way the Sarah writes. Everything flows wonderfully and I find the tone soothing. Her characters are always well developed and the storyline always intriguing. This one is no different.
If The Broom Fits is a worthwhile read. Sarah Sutton once again captures teenage life and drama in a way that is compelling and intriguing. At it's heart, this is a beautiful story, executed in a sweet, cute, and emotional manner. This book is perfect when you're looking for your next coming of age tale.
