NOTE: Review of the print edition
"I glanced up at him, feeling unwontenly serious. 'Does that happen? If you truly love one person, can someone else just appear in your life and suddenly abduct your heart? Against your will, against your wishes? Don't you have to be open to such a thing?'
He looked down at me, his expression as solemn as mine. 'I don't know much about it', he said. 'I don't know if a heart is ever safe. But I've never thought one could be stolen. Just given.'"
~ Brianna and Nico (70)
"All these people, living lives I would never know anything about. All these people, utterly indifferent to my own triumphs and tragedies, my wildest hopes, my darkest fears. What connects us to other human beings?" I wondered. Why do we choose to love some and wholly ignore others? What is it that leads us to care?" ~ Brianna (354)
The Uncommon Echoes series was first published as an audiobook trilogy on Audible. I don't enjoy being read to, so I was very excited that this series is now in print and very grateful that an amazing friend gifted me the print versions
