[Erik R · Rating 5 out of 5]

Chasing Time paints a very vivid picture of the author, Marissa’s life. Through vignettes sown throughout the opening chapters we meet Marissa as a child. The love she feels for her family and the special connection she feels with her father are palpable in every word. Throughout the book, Marissa shares some really dark moments with us. In addition to these dark moments, we get to see the light moments and all the connecting times in between. I found myself unable to stop reading as I read more - I found myself worried for her, crying with her, and happy and rooting for her at the resolution of the book (which I will not spoil).

If you have ever felt alone, if you’ve suffered a loss, it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. Marissa’s book helps remind us that “no matter how bad things get, there’s always hope and you’re not alone.” Please give this book a read - it’s beautifully written.
