Meet the main characters of Broken Boys Beyond Friendships
Blake Roberts was a little older than 16 when his family moved from Manhattan Beach, California, to Andover, Massachusetts. Blake’s father was controlling; some might even say abusive. Nevertheless, he mapped out Blake’s life and expected Blake to follow his orders.
Blake had other dreams, and he missed his surfer lifestyle back in California, but he met a friend who would significantly impact his life.
Logan Vandermark was a high school stud, popular, and came from an old New England family. Logan came from a family of attorneys, and his parents worked in the law firm his great-grandfather started. Charming and very lucky, Logan won a Porsche in a raffle when his grandparents were at
Foxwood Casino in Connecticut. When Logan met Blake, he liked that Blake was different from his other friends and the two became inseparable buds .
Ivy Vandermark was her high school class president and prom queen. She’s the fraternal twin sister of Logan and the mother of Jillian. Ivy is refined, intelligent, and sophisticated. She’s also very loyal to her family and fiercely protective of Logan. As the firstborn, she considers herself Logan’s big
sister. Since Blake spent much of his high school years at her house, Ivy is close to Blake and considers him part of her family.
Eden Sinclair was born and raised in Australia. Her father was a wealthy business tycoon in Sydney, and her mother was the publish relations officer to the Prime Minister. Rich, spoiled, and self-centered, she decided to attend university in Southern California, where she ended up being roommates with Ivy Vandermark.
Knowing no boundaries and always up for something new, Eden took Blake places he had never been.
Dillon Braun grew up in a small town in southwest Ohio and was naive to the ways of a city. But, needing to escape a family that rejected him because of his sexual orientation, Dillon rode his motorcycle to Los Angeles, where he met Blake at a
beach party at Venice Beach. Dillon and Blake became friends, and together they surfed, waited tables, and lived the California lifestyle.
Dorian Diebold is a bottom-feeding Hollywood agent. Manipulative and scheming, Diebold makes many promises but often can not deliver. He loves that Blake and Dillon look alike and represent an older California stereotype.
Preying on their financial instability, Diebold profits from their looks and naivety while setting a series of life-altering events in motion.
