Be Ready for the Lightning by Grace O'Connell
5.0
This is a wonderful book! Grace O'Connell has created living characters that leap off the page. We follow Veda through some of her childhood events and see her friends and relations with all their good and bad traits. Their actions and choices resonated through her, revealing that we never know if we said the right thing or made the right choice. Reasons for actions and reactions, as well as how those truly affect others, are unknowable in others and in ourselves.
We watch as she remembers and forgets, acts or doesn't act. Each section was framed wonderfully by pieces off the horrific event that touched Veda's life. Through the novel, wee learn more about Veda as she begins to understand herself, her own limitations and her strengths.
It was a truly awesome book. I felt so connected to Veda and her world, like it was mine.
Thank you to Goodreads for the give-away advanced copy in exchange for this honest review. I recommend this to everyone!
