** I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review ***5 Stars AND THEN SOME!!!*I absolutely loved Because of Ellison. True to form, M.S. Willis wrote a prologue that hooked me from the very beginning. If there were an award for best prologues ever written she would win it, hands down."Her name was Ellison James...and she was the biggest bitch I'd ever met in my life."Because of Ellison is so different from any of the other books I've read by M.S. Willis, and I've read a fair few. She really stepped out of her comfort zone when she wrote this one and I applaud her for that because it shows that when you're a great writer, you can write anything and people will not only want to read it but they will actually enjoy it, no matter what genre it fits in to.This book was beautifully written. It reminded me of a modern day "The Notebook". I didn't want to put it down but I forced myself to just so I could prolong it ending. The characters are well written and extremely likeable. From Henry James to Tiffany and all of them in between. Also, be prepared for a feelings fest. Know what I mean? There is a wide range of emotion playing out with every turn of the page. You will laugh, cry, and want to throat punch something in rapid succession. And last but certainly not least, the ending was epic. You couldn't ask for more than what this book delivers. There are no stones left unturned in Because of Ellison. With all of the series floating around these days, I thought it was nice to have everything wrapped up in a nice, neat package at the end.M.S. Willis has made a fan of me quickly and completely. She could write the phone book and I would read it! Because of Ellison was a thoroughly satisfying, heart-breaking, hope inspiring, life lesson learning novel that I will read again and again.
