My Review
I received
a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. Grace Jensen has endured years of surgeries
since that fateful night she was disfigured due to a treehouse fire. Now 13 years later, her childhood best
friend, the only person that truly remembers what transpired the night of the
fire, reappears for her grandmother’s funeral.
She convinces Grace to stay with her in Las Vegas for awhile. This becomes an awakening of sorts for Grace,
as she learns not only does she feel other people’s pain, she can heal
them. Her trip to Vegas is anything but
uneventful as she meets new things and learns more about Marly. How will she react when secrets are
revealed? What really happened on the
night of the fire?
I loved
the premise of this book, it truly spoke to me.
One of the things that I got out of this novel is that sometimes all isn’t
as it seems. Sometimes people have scars
on the inside, but they are very good at hiding it. This was a great novel that kept me wondering
what could possibly go wrong. My heart
broke for Grace when all of the secrets came to light. It keeps you guessing right up until the very
end. The characters are amazing,
although I was left hanging about the relationship between Adam and Grace, I
wish they were people I could pop in on to see if they made it.
