Review by Kristi Lynn
Going into
this story I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had been told it was not like the
books I typically read, but I was down to try it and see what new author
Kristina Borden had to offer the indie world. I am glad I gave it a shot. This
is the story of Ann and Kristen, two sisters who have suffered throughout their
childhood and well into their adult lives. Throughout their life they develop a
strong bond and connection. All they have endured in life has made them
stronger and also made them extremely close. They have a bond and closeness
that many siblings would be envious of. After dealing with so much in their
lives, one more blow literally rocks their world.
What I loved
about this book - This book was emotional, heartfelt, and at times (in the beginning)
hard to read. Even in the tough times, I felt the love and closeness these
sisters had for each other. Throughout I felt like I was their biggest
cheerleader that they would both find the peace and happiness they deserved. I
was awe struck by the love, trust and the strength they had with each other. I
felt their pain, struggle, and the raw emotions over their circumstances. This
to me is a sign of a good writer so job well done to Kristina!
What I didn’t
love about this book - They were points in the book that I felt like the story
was rushed and then others where I felt like there was over explanation.
Other than
those minor things, I think this was a fantastic debut from this new author. I
am looking forward to seeing more from her in the future. I am happy I took a
chance on a book outside of my norm. This book really rocked and I gave it
