Story Behind The Book
I didn't really know what my book was going to be called when I started it. I had an outline and I thought it would be a story of a girl meeting a boy at a wedding. I never really expected to be telling two stories, but as I started with the past, it was so fun to to let the readers get a glimpse of Gabby and why she is the way she is. Through this back and forth, it became clear the fitting title would be Broken.
