I've recently found this book on Netgalley and I really loved it! Here is my review:
This book is just great! Nice style, beautiful and meaningful descriptions and a story that has a message!
This was the first book I have read from Janelle Brown, but definitely not the last one. Important questions are raised in this novel about family issues that can happen to anyone (loss of a loved one, parental issues, dysfunctional marriage, problems at school, etc.). There are no "good ones" and "bad ones" here, only ordinary people, without bad intentions, who try to cope with their lives.
I found myself wondering what would I have done in a different way if I was in the place of Jonathan or - even though I am quite past that age - Olive. I was also happy to get to know Billie, whose personality and way of thinking became clear by the end of the story.
I think this novel can actually be a base for some productive discussion between family members, couples, or even friends. It is great how the author managed to write an interesting story, with unexpected twists, that is well paced, beautifully told, and - most importantly - makes you think!
* I have recieved this book from Netgalley and Random House in exchange for an honest review.
