Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the new book by Erica Bauermeister. I loved The Scent Keeper and was so excited to read her new book and this one exceeded all expectations and is a 5 plus star read! The audio cast narration was wonderful!
Alice always wanted to be a writer but it took a caring professor and a tragic life event before she could write the book she was meant to write, simply named Theo. As the book progresses, we see how this book touched the lives of others.
No two persons reads the same book is the theme of this book, and how true that is. Anyone in a book club or who has recommended a book to someone, only to find they have a vastly different opinion, is well aware of this statement. This beautifully-written book plays that truth out - it shows us in such a creative way how Theo affects the lives of ten other people, from a homeless teen to a widow to a publishing agent. It shows us the power of books and how interconnected we really are. It even speaks to the power of social media's book review world, and some of those varying opinions had me laughing and definitely relating. Some of these stories left me desperate for a deeper look into their lives but that was also part of the magic. I will be recommending this one for sure and I think they will all love it!
