Book Description
A reclusive bookstore owner hoped she'd permanently buried her family's sensational past with a new name. But when the novels she once shared with an old crush begin appearing in the mail, it's clear her true identity is about to be revealed, threatening the new life she has painstakingly built.
My thoughts:
If you think this novel is about books, you would be correct because it most definitely is but it is so much more than that, it's about families, friends and learning to be self-sufficient even if you are only fourteen years old.
The Words Between Us is the heart-stirring story of Robin as she maneuvers her way through a painful and lonely childhood and to some extent into adulthood. Peter is an important part of Robin's life for awhile. They both have been hurt by their parents, certainly not physical but emotionally. I loved how their early friendship is formed through books, not just any books but classic novels. As life goes on we lose touch with those we care about but that doesn't mean we stop caring, does it? Or that we will never hear from them again because life is funny like that.
This is a gripping novel where you get caught up in each and every detail and the endearing characters. First I fell in love with the cover and then the fascinating storyline. This one was a fast read and one I recommend.
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
