5.0

A Heart in a Body in the World is devastatingly beautiful. Caletti’s writing is unmatched in this book as she weaves together past and present to share Annabelle’s story. It absolutely shatters the story unfolds and we learn what Annabelle is running from, and Caletti is an incredible writer and she effortlessly tells an painfully common story and naturally calls for social action without feeling overdone. She ultimately leaves you in a place of hope as the book closes, and makes you truly believe that healing is possible. Throughout this story, I felt as though I was running alongside Annabelle and healing with her. I truly cannot rate this work highly enough.
