My Review

4/5 Stars

Libby Lives is a gripping novella that plunges readers into the dark and complicated life of Libby Mae Turner, a woman haunted by the abuse of her past. When she finally begins to experience safety and real love, sinister notes start to arrive, threatening to expose her darkest secrets and make her lose it all.

This was one of those books that makes you say “good for her.” Ali Toothman did a wonderful job at exploring complex themes of abuse, recovery, and what it means to really take charge of your life.

The story was not only suspenseful, but it was also woven with real emotion. I felt like I could connect to Libby because of the way that she continues to fight for a fresh start and a life where she’s free from her demons, both internal and otherwise.

I can’t wait to see what happens to her in book two!
