New Release + Review: Echoes Between Us by Katie McGarry

Review

* I received a review copy from Bookish First and voluntarily provided an honest review*

So after reading the blurb I decided to give this book a chance. Not going to lie when I first started reading this book I struggled. I had a hard time connecting to the story. Even though the story is told in Sawyer and Veronica’s point of views I felt like they were both the same person and their personality really didn’t show at first.

Honestly, I thought about dnfing the book but something told me to keep reading. I am so happy I stuck with the book because the story took some unexpected turns and I was hooked. My heart broke for Sawyer as I am a child of an alcoholic parent and I remember going to Al-Anon meetings as a child and this took me back to a time in my life that I try to forget. I respected how Sawyer took care of the house and his sister, Lucy. He had a heart of gold and put others first even though he was suffering.

Then we have Veronica and everything she was going through and it reminded me of a good friend who was in a similar situation. I loved Veronica’s approach on life and how she was going to live her life to the fullest and for someone her age she handle herself very well. I would have been a wreck.

This was my first time reading anything by this author and it even though it took some time for me to get into the story it was a good read. The plot was unique and I won’t forget about Sawyer and Veronica anytime soon!
