Deeply detailed characters fill this sweet and suspenseful story about an emotionally wounded girl who has to choose between life or love.What drew me in to Untellable were the realist characters from the most integral to the smallest walk-on. Ms. Lilly truly created a community of people who popped right off the page. The story was quite good, too, but it was the people who kept me turning pages.She builds the suspense slowly, creating a false sense of (relative) security for our heroine, Aspen. While she never completely lets her guard down, she does come to learn how to trust again, and slowly, reluctantly opens her heart to the people of Honey Creek -- though, truthfully, they're hard to resist.When trouble comes knocking, she has a support system she'd never have dreamed of. While, ultimately, it's she who has to win out, the foundation she's found in her new home helps give her the courage she needs.Untellable is a romance, true, but it's also a story about how a young girl learns to put herself back together again after a life of tragedy and hardship. Well written and completely enjoyable.Originally posted at Long and Short Reviews
