5/5 Totally Amazing! Says Book Blogger
Meet Twin sisters Gabriella and Olivia and step into their world of crushing heartbreak, constant fear and anguish.
Reading 'Let Me Go' was almost like an out-of-world experience for me...
It is a story about a trio of sisters...
Prior to starting the book...
The issue with domestic and or sexual abuse is, and will always be, that you can never judge the severity of it unless you've experienced it first hand, no matter how much you've read up on it. That's just how it is, you may disagree with that, but that is the truth.
Like reading all about being an Olympic Swimmer doesn't make you any more qualified than the next guy.
The sad reality is...
It's an issue...
I've watched so many families...
There is so, so much that can be learned from this book....
(click on link to see full review) I think it's safe to say that it was very easy for me to connect with each of the 3 sisters.
I truly appreciated just how much research had to have gone into the making of this book, especially as it was written purely as a work of fiction, with no 'real' truth to it.
On a different note, I found it incredibly refreshing that the characters in the book were portrayed as normal girls, no perky blondes with troubled hearts but otherwise flawless appearance, but girls who share their mistakes and let you into their hearts, which for me, resulted in buckets full of tears and raw emotion.
It's wonderful that once again, an author used their power to give a voice to all those victims out there, because believe you me, if you've been affected by domestic and or sexual abuse, or know someone who is/was, you're not alone in this.There will always be someone to support you.
If you need help, get it. No matter how dark the way.
Final Rating: 5/5 'Totally Amazing'

3/5 Stars from Bibliophile Kid
"But its real, the problems and difficulties that they've felt truly happens in real life. I don't want to spoil anything from that part, okay? I can't go on deeper than that, you just need to read this mysterious book.
Next, just look at the cover, the two girls suddenly hypnotized just by looking at those dragonflies. That's the thing that I felt that there is something more that definitey happened to them from that point.
As for their mother, she's a bit blinded with love actually. She always feels that the man who surrounds her everytime can fall in love and be honest with her. But she's wrong, that's how I see it. But as Gabby and Olivia restrained from it, I see their love for their mother and it is wonderful.
Let Me Go is a novel full of sadness, abuse and tragedy, yet it displays a large amount of courage and bravery to face all of it to overcome and to be free with all of it."
