To say I loved this book feels like a MASSIVE understatement. My mind is continuously blown by this author! If it's not her poetry, it's her fiction, now.
Strangers is an incredibly heartwrenching story with characters you just want to squeeze. One of the things I love most about this book is the emphasis of how important it is to never judge a book by its cover and to move with kindness.
I couldn't adore the friendship between Eve and Finn any more, and as much as I'm a sucker for romance and a messy love triangle, it's SO refreshing to read a book where friendship is the reigning champ and the characters showcase empathy for each other.
My only complaint is that I wish it was longer! I picked it up and could not put it down and I finished it in an afternoon. I hope to see more of Finn and Eve in the future.
For any of you who are hesitant to give indie authors a shot, you will not regret reading ANYTHING by T.E. Talbott, I PROMISE you. The emotions she's able to convey with her words will stick with you in the best way possible.
I find these characters STILL cropping up in my head a week later. 👏👏👏
