I was very excited when Ms. Fry asked me to read and review her debut book A Part to Play.When I started the book, I was about 12% into it when I realized I had connected deeply enough with Lucy that I had already cried with and for her, laughed with her at some of the memories she shared, and genuinely felt for her and her family.My first night of reading carried me through the early morning hours and over half of the book.  I guess it's safe to say that I couldn't put it down. :)As a mother, warning signs went up as I watched Lucy and Chris interact.  I empathized with her parents, but Ms. Fry did such a great job of building Lucy's character that I was more connected to her and her journey through loss and back into the light that I didn't get so motherly.Other than a few typos which weren't glaring due to the interesting journey of Lucy, I can't find anything to fault.  In fact, I found myself trying to imagine what happens next, what Isa's back story is, how Paige and Isa grow and change, the relationship between Lucy and Nicole, etc.I'm definitely hoping for a sequel!  Either way, I'll be pre-ordering Ms. Fry's next story!
