It’s been a long time since I picked up a book and got so engrossed that I couldn’t put it down. Most books I read follow the same format, I read a couple of chapters until I get a handle on the main characters and then I flick to the back to see how it finishes. I tried to do the same thing with this book, but it revealed so little … the story was so wonderfully written. The story unpacked itself along the way, and it was how it did that captured and held my interest.
Eva Longoria Parker’s comment on the back of the book, "Beautifully real characters" is so true. It was easy to find yourself really connected … to see the story as more than just words on the page. I could easily imagine the exchanges described in the book really happening.
We all have hurts in our lives, which is why I guess it was easy to identify with the main character, Jade. Some of us, like Jade, search for the key to peace and healing from those hurts. Some of us try locking them away "letting the past stay in the past" as had been her motto. But as with real life there’s no real peace in that … no real closure … and this book shares a wonderful journey towards the only place where we can achieve true peace and closure.
I feel that my review, doesn’t really do justice to what a great story I thought this was … Definitely a 5 Star book.
