Thank you to booktasters and the author for giving me this book to read.
I really enjoyed the story and LOVED the relationship between Martha and Vanessa. I haven't read a mother-daughter relationship in books for so long so this was very refreshing. Other thing that i really liked is how the author describes the scenes and it transports there, like you are actually watching the characters talk and do their thing. I liked Martha to some extent, at time it felt like she was being too "hippie" or at times too "perfect" , but also a part of me feels for her for what she is going through with her daughter, so i was torn about her character.
I didn't like how the suicide story line was handled, Martha using guilt to steer Vanessa away from it and "just go to a yoga class with me" or how a slap got Vanessa back to her sense. i honestly didn't enjoy these parts at all.
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PART OF THE BOOK WAS THE LAST 2 CHAPTERS, the feeling of serenity and ease really exudes to the reader. And it left me wanting a part 2 of this book to see more from Vanessa and her mom and the man that she is seeing.
Overall 3.5 stars, really enjoyed it.

A really short enjoyable self help read.

This read is about a mother doing her best to help her daughter find a new way to live and enjoy life after losing it all. We see a mother who would do anything to save her daughter and the bond between them is just truly beautiful. I'd love to add more to this but there's no way in doing so without summarising the book (no need for #spoilers). Interesting characters and it's well written. I'd recommend this to anyone would appreciate a short read. I do however look forward to more works by this author

Thank you to the author and BookTasters

Story revolves around mother & daughter who have both been hurt by the men they loved. I love how Thomas potrays the mother ~ daughter relationship and the drastic actions a mother will do to save their child, its realistic. The depression Vanessa slips in shows how matters of the heart can ruin a bright life especially in the absence of a strong support system. Thomas describes places, emotions, feelings beautifully, I actually want to visit the country home. Overally, its a good read.

Thanks to booktaster and the author for giving me a chance to read this book. Found again is really an amazing self help book. It is about a mother helping her daughter recover after been dumped by her boyfriend . The story is well written and very motivational, though the story seems to fast like the author is in an hurry to finish I really enjoyed reading the story and absolutely loved both the characters.

Found Again, a story of a mother helping her daughter find a new way to live life when she had lost it all, or she thought she lost it.
I found the story quiet well written as a means to create self motivation and enthusiasm among audience.
A good approach by author to establish positivity in dark hours. 👍👍

A quick and easy read with a strong message of love and finding your own centre and value. A mother has moved on with her life and found a way of helping herself through helping others after her marriage ended. Unexpectedly her daughter comes home and is in a desperate state. This is a challenge for the mother and daughter relationship and a chance to be able to understand each other. Is it too late? Although I found the book a bit too descriptive in places, however, I could understand how passionate the author was to get a clear message across. We all belong to ourselves first and when we understand that we can find our centre and not be dependent on what others say or the way they behave towards us. Anyone who needs to find their selves could gain practical ideas from this story.

I was given the opportunity to read this book for an honest review by Booktasters. Its a heartwarming short story revolving around Martha (the mum) and Vanessa (the daughter) whose lives where torn apart by the partners. They were both left by their partners for other women. Martha found inner peace by involving herself in Yoga. She tries to help Vanessa to forget her past and find her true self again. Vanessa though wants to seek revenge against her boyfriend. Martha refuses to let Vanessa do anything she might regret and helps Vanessa to forget about her past and move forward with her life.

A lovely story about self discovery. Give it a read!

I was given a chance to read this book through Booktasters and while I'm not really quite a Yoga fan, I quite enjoyed it. Its a short story about a mother, Martha who rediscovered herself through Yoga and tried to help her daughter Vanessa do the same. Sincerely, I couldn't relate with the whole inner peace brouhaha but its quite a read.

[Manal Jamaleddine · Rating 4 out of 5]

An inspiring story, very well written, yet very short. Like all yoga books, this one makes 'finding inner peace' looks so easy; I wounder if it is in real.. An enjoyable short read raising many questions to think about.

Thanks to the Author and @Booktasters . This was definitely not what I was expecting to read, and sadly it was a bit disappointing. I really didn't enjoy this book. A painfully slow read. Not my cup of tea. Sorry.

Got this book in exchange for an honest review.

It was good for kind of a short book but honestly not much to write about on it. It's one of those books you can read again and is somewhat inspiring.
