A review by leabaker
Miles from Ordinary by Carol Lynch Williams

4.0

I picked this book at our local public library for a quick read. During the first 2 to 3 chapters I was somewhat disappointed, it was kind of slow paced in the beginning. However, after those first few chapters and once I adjusted to the writing style it became difficult to put down! There were parts of the story that were hard for me to read, only because I could relate on some level since I grew up with a mom that had undiagnosed mental problems. The isolation it causes is definitely something that I related to. The last 60-90 pages are so intense, it's hard to predict the outcome. I must add, the climax of the story was something I really wasn't entirety expecting but I was enthralled no less. Overall, I gave this book a 4 out of 5 stars. The reason I didn't give that last star was mainly because I didn't really like the writing style. Other than that, it was a great book that I would suggest to others.
