Wow, Iris Thunder really blew me away. This is such a beautiful but emotional and heartbreaking story.
In this book we follow Taryn. She had a really rough start in life. Her mother was a drug addict and gave birth to her prematurely due to severe drug use. Her father was addicted as well. But not as heavily as her mother. He took care of her for a few years. And he instilled a love for cars into her. Especially the red chevrolet he owns. But then the addiction comes back hard and he gives her up to deal with his addiction.
And that is where life really gets rough again. She gets abused and used in several foster homes. Until Matt and Jo take her in. They have two biological daughters of their own and another foster son.
But all Taryn cares about is keeping them all at a distance and drinking and using drugs as much as she can with her friends.
But even though she is heavily misusing it all. You can also see what a big heart she has. She loves her foster siblings and teaches the girls how to love themselves.
And then something big happens that changes her entire life. Everything gets knocked down and she is utterly lost. But she also has a deep yearning for something better.
I don't want to spoil too much of the story. I want each and everyone of you to experience this beautiful story on your own and form your own thoughts and feelings.
But the character development in this story is huge. At first we feel this heavy depression hanging on her shoulders. And slowly but surely hope comes in.
I wish I could hug the f**k out of Matt, Ja, Ari and Raya and Thomas. I love their love. How unconditional it is. How fierce and powerful.
And Wyatt stole my heart as well. At first I was like no, this cannot be the end. But then I read that a second book will be released in the future and I am happy about that.
SPOILER ALERT:
My heart cannot take it if Wyatt gets hurt in the second book!!
Iris Thunder really stole my heart and it is one of the best Chelsea has written so far! 5 big stars from me!!!
