I hope it stays this way as well :)<br />This sounds like a book which really grinds on the readers emotions, mostly because it is so involved in them as well. Seeing as my TBR is huge and I am trying to cut down on what I add, this is not going to be on it. But a brilliant review nonetheless ;)Olivia Roachnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071281654490676742.post-83831791558062136522014-07-23T16:49:00.154-04:002014-07-23T16:49:00.154-04:00This sounds like a very powerful read, Brandi.

I'll have to add it to my tbr.

And I think ...Torn Away sounds really good, Brandi. And I think I'd enjoy Jersey quite a lot, because a character who can think about past actions and then move forward while taking that into account is one that is ready to evolve. And the fact that she's both strong and vulnerable is something I think I'd enjoy, too.<br />I have been lucky enough to never be in a natural disaster. It scares me to just watch on TV how bad it can be, and I would be so afraid for my kids if something like a hurricane or an earthquake happened here.<br />Great review :) Happy reading.Lexxiehttp://unconventionalbookviews.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6071281654490676742.post-90148603962526708112014-07-22T23:57:04.620-04:002014-07-22T23:57:04.620-04:00I haven't been closely involved with a natural...I haven't been closely involved with a natural disaster, thankfully.

Does sounds pretty emotional though, and I've never read any books to do with Natural Disasters yet, so that'll be different. Jersey sounds realistically flawed, and love that she still looks on the bright side. :) <br />I've been out in Hurricane winds, if that counts? Otherwise just floods mainly.kirstymariejonesstudioreadsnoreply@blogger.com
