I absolutely love this authors relatable, touchable, and easy writing style and the ongoing sarcastic humor. She has a way of taking you in as if you've been there the whole time. There is a realness to this story (and the authors others) that not only pull on your heartstrings but connects you as a reader. Reminds me of my favorite children's author, Judy Blume in the way the author allows you to make the story your own. This is not a compliment to take lightly as I can't recall ever saying this about another writer. It's a real gift to tell a story where it's reader instantly connects.Lynne & Hope is a meaningful story that could be real though it is labeled as fiction. I believed ever line, every bit of of conversational style dialog, every morsel I ate up and felt a connection. I so enjoyed the humorous moments that had me laughing out loud. So clever and oh so entertaining! Even though the main character Hope is paralyzed it is never a pity party. This is a touching, upbeat story that I so enjoyed.This mystery is so intriguing that if you are anything like me you won't want to do anything else but read so you can find out what happens.Excerpt~"Is your sister upstairs?" Ah, now I didn't want to lie and say she was but at the same time I wasn't about to announce that I didn't know where she was on account of her doing a runner."I don't know," I lied. Though it wasn't really a lie because she could be upstairs in a hotel somewhere and Mum hadn't really defined which upstairs she meant. Okay, so it was a lie.
