How do you move forward after the unthinkable happens, and life as you know it is gone? That’s the question Celine and Alex are forced to answer when their son Gage is abducted one rainy spring day.
Before the abduction, Celine and Alex are best friends, childhood sweethearts, and parents to three tireless children. They are a unified team. But When Gage is taken, Alex breaks down while Celine pushes forward. And struggling to heal in different directions breaks their bond.
Then, after spending years drowning in depression, Alex finds the drive to reconnect with his daughters, to heal enough to be in their lives. But seeing Celine again reignites a familiar spark. An inconvenient spark, since Celine has moved on.
And then the unthinkable happens again: Gage is found, he is alive, and he is coming home to a broken family. Though a long-awaited miracle, it means everything Celine and Alex thought they’d figured out must shift again.

Review

Rating: 4 out of 5.

“Broken Strings” by Rachel Lane is a breathtaking debut that will undoubtedly leave readers completely entranced. Diving deep into the anguish of loss and the bittersweet joy of rediscovery, this novel presents a poignant tale that’s both gut-wrenching and beautifully hopeful.

The character development in “Broken Strings” is stellar. Celine and Alex stand out as compelling protagonists, driving the narrative with their emotional depth, making readers root for them every step of the way. The story is conceptually brilliant and unfolds seamlessly with tight writing and a rhythmic flow that captures the heart’s palpitations.

For those who appreciate a tale brimming with raw emotions, and especially for fans of new adult fiction with a touch of romance and unexpected twists, “Broken Strings” is a must-read. Lane’s expertise as a therapist adds layers of authenticity, making this book an unforgettable experience.
