I’ve seen an array of reviews for this one: Yay, nay, meh.
A town is turned upside down when Patch, a 13 year old boy, saves a girl from being kidnapped, and instead he is taken. Some lives move forward; others remain rooted. A tragic event that cuts deeps and fractures relationships. A tragedy that becomes all consuming as a means of survival. For decades.
Whittaker takes us through a labyrinth of loss, grief, fear, powerlessness, hope and of lasting friendships and love that see us through our darkest days in the most vivid and vibrant colours.
My take: an overwhelming YAY and a bow to this talented author.
5⭐️

Thanks Antoinette. At one point, the story I thought could have ended there but I was glad it did continue. It was a lengthy one and I was able to get through it quicker as I took a few days off :) Glad you did like it though overall!
