Lisa Unger is one of my favorite authors. Unfortunately, I felt this one just wasn't on par with her other books. It's listed as a thriller, but there was just no meat on the bone there.

No excitement, no drama, no twists. The story is told from several points of view, but none of the characters stood out. I couldn't make a connection with them. It has been on my current read shelf for a looooong time. I just kept putting it down, couldn't hold my interest. I was determined to finish it It just fell flat for me. View all 9 comments. After being intrigued by Darkness, My Old Friend and captivated by Fragile when the opportunity to get an advanced reader copy of Lisa Unger's new novel Hearbroken arose, I immediately said yes.

Unger is slowly making her way to the top of "must read" list of current mystery writers along with Laura Lippman, Michael Connelly and Elizabeth George. Heartbroken is less a mystery and more a thriller from Unger. It's the story of several generations of women and their connection to Heart Island. There After being intrigued by Darkness, My Old Friend and captivated by Fragile when the opportunity to get an advanced reader copy of Lisa Unger's new novel Hearbroken arose, I immediately said yes.

There's matriarch Birdie Burke, who lives on and owns the island. Coming to visit the island are her daughter Kate, her granddaughter Chelsea and Chelsea's friend Lulu. It's part of an annual family summer visit, though many of those involved aren't necessarily looking forward to the visit and extended family time.

The island harbors some old secrets, several of which Kate has included in her upcoming novel. Meanwhile, Emily is a young woman struggling to get through college and weighed down by a poor romantic choice. Dropping out of her community college, Emily is waitressing while living with her boyfriend who her family doesn't approve of. It's easy to see why when the boyfriend convinces her to help take part in a robbery of the family-owned diner she works for in order to pay off a debt to an old acquaintance.

Things don't go exactly according to plan, leaving Emily and the two men on the lam, looking for shelter. That quest leads them to Heart Island. Like her other crime novels, Unger is more interested in the impact of the various crimes on her characters than she is on keeping readers guessing the culprit behind the crime.

At several points during the story, I found myself wanting to reach in and either hug or shake Emily as she makes one bad choice after the other, each time rationalizing why she's making the next in a series of bad choices. The journey of Emily and the rest of the characters is a fascinating one because everyone turns out to be harboring a secret or two and nothing is exactly what it appears.

Heartbroken starts out with a solid hook, builds a world with some compelling characters and wraps it all up in a satisfying bow in the novel's final pages. At times, it's as page-turning as Fragile was, but it falls just short of being as great as that novel was. However, don't let that put you off from trying this book. It's still fresh, entertaining and compelling.

It's also firmly put Unger into the realm of mystery writers whose works I'll eagerly pick up and read as soon as they hit the market. View 1 comment. I bought the book based upon quotes appearing on the book's backside. Not reader quotes, but "expert" quotes you should be able to trust.

In the very least, it implies Scary. If you're still unconvinced, how about this, "[Will] chill readers to the bone," a quote by Tampa Bay Times. Again, scary, right? Well, it's not, nor do I think Ms. Unger intended it to be.

But by page , I was seething, "When the heck does the fright or thrill begin? I don't read drama and apparently, those reviewers didn't read the book. The story is in the same vein as The Pilot's wife. Yes, there's a bit of mystery and a lot of family secrets and the predictable shock-shock affair Hands down, they would give it five stars.

But I was looking for scary or thriller, the things the reviewers promised shame on them. Wendy Joyce View 2 comments. So COVID has helped me realize even more now than ever, reading a bad book through the ending is a terrible idea. I got to 20 percent and hit the Did Not Finish button. This is just all over the place and boring me to tears.

There are too many characters that we jump back and forth to. Back to the book stacks virtual you go! Would really like to rate 3. This book had a "Nancy Drew" feel to it and that was exciting for me.

I can remember the mystery series and how as a young girl I got that suspense "high" out of it. Heartbroken to me was part mystery, part suspense, and part family drama.

It focuses on mother and daughter relationships and the consequences of our actions that stick with us forever. I would have preferred that the author did not go with the ghostly portion; that part was unnecessary. I did not w Would really like to rate 3. I did not warm up to any of the characters and that was very different for me.

I will admit that I followed Emily consecutively for a few chapters just because I was so captivated with what was happening to her. How Kate described her mother Birdie is not how I had been imagining her. Birdie was a character that will be very hard to forget. If Lisa Unger's goal was to have the reader really dislike Birdie, she certainly exceeded with me. The high level action takes place on an Island on a lake in the Adirondacks owned by the Burke family.

The pacing of the storyline is excellent. I did enjoy Heartbroken and plan to read another one of Unger's books. This is my first Lisa Unger book and it won't be my last. I love how she makes all her characters so real and with so much detail to the emotions being played out. Having read most of this author's work, I think it's safe to say that, in my opinion, this is her best to date.

Like her other novels, this one has a healthy dose of hold-your-breath suspense, believable and sympathetic characters, and exquisite plotting that rockets along seamlessly. But unlike Unger's prior work, this one includes layers of depth that separate it from hers and other more run-of-the-mill thrillers. This is a book about family and how those familial connections shape us I loved this novel! I love this author, but I was not impressed with this book.

I did not like the plot and I really hated the character of Emily. I felt she made too many excuses for her bad choices. I thought there would be more in the plot about the island ghosts, but there wasn't. Normally Lisa Unger writes fast paced thrillers, but this book was not fast paced, nor a thriller. It had a little mystery, but mostly it was a family drama.

It just did not grab me the way her books normally do. Lisa Unger's books are always the kind that I can't put down when I start reading them. This one did not disappoint. The book beings as a family story and ends up being a edge of your seat thriller. The family is very interesting and dysfunctional and has lots of secrets and part of this is why bad things start to happen at the end of the story. DEfinitely a good read and this is my favorite kind of book. Dec 11, Brenda rated it liked it.

What a dysfunctional family. Reading this book was like looking at an auto accident. Lisa Unger has her characters ask themselves a lot of questions, and they all make bad choices and mistakes. Because most of the book is about events that occur over just a few days, and the last few chapters spanned over a year, the ending felt rushed. I did enjoy reading this, but it's not a book I would recommend to a friend.

Not quite a 4 star rating but nevertheless a very good book. Fast paced novel told from various points of view in which they all link up for the climax. I look forward to reading more of Lisa Unger's work. Oct 04, Laura Bradford rated it really liked it. I give this 4. Really enjoyed this story! Three and a half stars. This is another book that features a dysfunctional mother and daughter relationship, which seems to be a common theme in fiction.

Birdie is a most unlikeable character and her husband, Joe, just opts out of anything he finds too difficult. Their daughter, Kate, is a likeable character who, unlike her brother Theo, spends a lot of her life trying to please her mother, at times at the expense of her own husband and children it seems.

The other story concerns Emily and her loser boyfriend Dean, who has been in prison. Again the relationship between Emily and her mother has a lot to do with the way Emily clings to Dean for love, despite doubts that surface at times. It is this supposed love for Dean that causes her to make a series of bad choices that lead to consequences she could never imagine.

The ghost element added nothing to the book in my opinion and could have been dispensed with. Although I would call this suspense rather than a psychological thriller, as one of the blurbs on the back claims, this is a novel that will keep you turning the pages. The closer I got to the end the faster those pages turned. My first Lisa Unger novel and I will definitely read another.

An amazing rich fountain of quotes of wisdom to be written down and hold close for future reference. I could list some, or definitely more than some great quotes here, but my purpose is to write a review, to help you decide if this book is worth your time, not really to pass on quotes from the book, however, I think once you start the book, you'll see what I mean An intricate plot unfolding, with a long, long buildup, with well-constructed characters growing and revealing themselves as we go along on the journey of their lives and not lastly good action here and there.

It's an intriguing love-story and love-triangle combined, a mystery carried over for generations, in time, while we can enjoy some bits of action too, mainly to build up the suspense.
