The blurb:
What if a tragedy occurred and you
only had yourself to blame? How do you move on from the past?
Alex Foster lives a quiet life,
avoiding the home she hasn’t visited in eight years. Then her sister Jaime calls.
Their mother is sick, and Alex must return. Suddenly she’s plunged back into
the past she’s been trying to escape.
Returning to her hometown, memories
of the tragic accident that has haunted her and her family are impossible to
ignore. Alex still blames herself for what happened to her brother and it’s
soon clear that her father holds her responsible too. As Alex struggles to
cope, can she ever escape the ghosts of the past?
My Opinion:
*Book provided by the publisher in
exchange for an honest review*
I have all of Anouska’s books in my bookshelf, Letting
You Go is the first one I’ve read now, finally!
Alex Foster finds herself back home after eight years.
Memories of that tragic accident come back, when she lost her brother. Her dad
is still angry with her and holds her responsible. Their relationship is tense
and uncomfortable. With her mum being in the hospital, the situation doesn’t
get better.
Then there is Finn, gorgeous Finn. Her dad is not a
big fan of him and although their feelings for each other are pretty obvious
Alex holds back. It’s about what happened eight years ago and her dad has a lot
to do with it. I was just hoping for them, because I felt that he changed her
in a positive way. He was actually my favourite thing about this book.
I found it difficult to relate to Alex at first and I
also couldn’t get into the story. I’m happy I continued reading it, because it
got better and better, deeper and really thoughtful. I really enjoyed reading
it in the end.
The relationships between the characters and they way
Anouska wrote about them really stood out for me.
This is a story full of secrets, lies and heart!
A story about a family, their past, their relationship
and their love for each other, no matter what!
I’m definitely looking forward to reading the other
Anouska Knight books, because I love her style of writing!
