Picking up the Pieces by Jessica Prince

challenging emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

3.0

  I enjoyed this book. It broke my heart one hundred percent. To see two people so broken by life finally finding each other again and coming together is beautiful. 

But I don’t like some aspects of the story. So much is demanded of Emmy and no one really tells her anything. We the readers hear about things that happened but she doesn’t. So while we hear Luke’s story and forgive him we have to remember that no one told Emmy that. 
She has no reason to forgive and forget besides him manhandling her and makes some promises in front of the grave. There’s no reason for her to want anything to do with him but some fucked up childhood romance. 

I’m not saying the story is bad. I enjoyed it. But I just wish there was more to the ending. A real reason for her to forgive.
