Welcome to Litsy!

The writing in this one reminded me a bit of Ann Patchett, in its slow unravel and insight into the mundanity. It pulled on the heartstrings and took a turn I wasn‘t expecting. I enjoyed it.

I just read the last page of this book and I can only say that it rocked me to my core. The second half of this novel is heavy. Heavy with the weight of love: the disappointments and transformations and fragilities.

It reminded me of “Idaho,” another quiet book about the intimacy of a marriage and how a devastating turn of events can deliver a tragic blow as well as expose the greatest strengths between two people. This one broke my heart.

I really have to stop requesting library books. I don‘t need any more. But it‘s just too tempting!

It‘s a story of absolute true love, inner desires, and choices made. This book proves love and pain go past the physical realm, and dive deep into the boundaries of our emotions. I very much appreciated the story being told by both main characters Ed and Laura. This was one of those books when I finished I needed a few more days to soak up my thoughts and part ways with their story.

Chicken noodle soup and this read. I would highly recommend this book so far... loving the quiet writing.
