Emma - Star Crossed Reviews Extraordinary reader

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Thank you to Books and the City for letting me take part in this tour. I love Holly’s writing and I recently visited York so I was very eager to read this book.
I really liked Hope. I think she is extremely strong and brave. I know this book is set 2 years after the death of her husband but I think she is coping better than I would. Hope really is someone to admire.
My favourite character was little Brodie. I absolutely adored that little girl. It was sucha pleasure to see her grow through the book.
Holly shows us that grief comes in so many shapes and sizes in this book. There is no one way to deal with grief and I liked that Holly showed us so many different ways of coping.
The only annoying thing for me was that as the book was originally published in 4 parts there was a bit of repetition. This was clearly for those who read them individually to remind them what happened but when I had just read it a few hours ago it really wasn’t needed.
I loved reading about York itself. I could picture it all so clearly, especially as I only recently visited. It’s such a beautiful place and I hope to go again soon.
Thank you Holly for such a joyous and captivating book. I can’t wait for the next one.
