Broken Girl Synopsis:
My name is ROSE NEWTON, and I sell my body on the streets of San Francisco. I’m what you call society’s dirty little secret. On the outside, I’m in control, the woman who makes her own rules and gives nothing away for free. Inside, I’m broken and numb. Torn and shattered by my past, my life is nothing more than the lost fragments of what’s left of me. SHANE WEST represents everything that’s foreign to me. He’s brave, kind, funny, gorgeous and persistent. When fate brings us face to face, an undeniable attraction blazes between us. He becomes the constant I’ve never had and the only man I’ll ever trust. There is nothing simple about falling in love when you’re keeping a secret like mine. *Reader’s discretion advised.

Broken Girl is a book about a girl who is indeed broken on the inside. Rose had a horrible and tragic childhood. She has a hard life as an adult as well and is now a prostitute. My heart literally broke for Rose and all she had to endure.
She finds a friend in Shane at the laundry mat and I enjoyed their interactions and meetings. Shane was a sweetheart and someone who Rose definitely needed in her life. He sees beyond the tough exterior she puts up to the broken girl inside.
This was my first Gretchen de la O book, and I loved her writing style! She has a way of sucking the reader in and not letting go until the very last page. I wish there would have been more interaction between Rose and Shane, but other than that a solid 4 stars from me!
