Heart wrenching. An emotional rollercoaster of a decades-long friendship and truth about love. A devastating look at how life throws curveballs without warning or reason.

Trigger warning: this story does have instances of sexual abuse and drug & alcohol abuse/addiction

#ReadingResolutions #heartwrenching #misunderstood 🤧A busy week plus a cold have me combining challenge prompts to catch up. I went to a writer's workshop last Saturday & took a creative non-fiction session from this author. Her book is the heart-wrenching story of a real-life Japanese-American family caught up on opposite sides of WWII. I like reading about different sides & perspectives as I think many aspects about this war are misunderstood.

Eggs I too love reading different perspectives of that war...have been studying it much of my life and still learning! 7y
LeahBergen Have you heard of this book? It was just chosen as the winner of this year‘s Canada Reads 7y
JaclynW Good point!! It can be quite eye-opening and mind-blowing to see things from another point of view - if we allow ourselves to. 7y

This book was not only #heartwrenching, but traumatizing. I distinctly remember not crying because of the shock it produced in me. I absolutely refuse to read it again. I couldn‘t possibly survive it.

TheBookgeekFrau Those Collier‘s Junior Classics in the background🤭 oh my god!!! I grew up with those and Loved them; most especially Vol. 7 as I believe that contained the “classics”, or maybe it was Vol. 4🤔 I have no idea what my mother did with them. Thank you for inadvertently sparking a great memory☺️ 7y
amber_ldsmom @C.Perone You‘re welcome! That makes me so happy!😊 7y

Wow. I don't think I've ever read a book in the second person before and that, as well as it being narrated by the author, made this such a powerful read.

A teenager falls in love with a wealthy older woman in 1980s Ireland. What struck me most was his hope even when everything was against him.

#heartwrenching to say the least and also a #bookwithillness @Jess7 #readingresolutions @maich #aprilbookishmadness

LeahBergen I really enjoyed this one. 7y
