A review by ebuxton2
Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate

3.0

An interesting format for a historical novel. In the beginning it’s difficult to understand how our two different perspectives relate but once you figure it out (which is easy to do pretty early on) the story gets a little drawn out. It was heartbreaking to learn of the true conditions of places like the Tennessee children’s home and if I had not read this book I would have never know about it. However I had a hard time getting through it after figuring out what the big reveal would be.
