This Is Sarah by Ally Malinenko
5.0
* - I received a free copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.
If I had to choose one word to describe this book it would be 'real'. The emotions and reactions of the two characters we follow, Sarah's boyfriend and sister, are incredibly realistic and you can't help but feel their pain immediately.
At times it's truly gut-wrenching to read it's that real and parts of it resonated very loudly with me from my own experience of losing a family member.
This Is Sarah looks at the grieving process, how the way other people grieve can tear a family apart, hope, anger, frustration, just getting by, acceptance and the healing process.
It's beautifully written and handled very well and you just can't help but get sucked into it.
This is not a happy book with a happy ending but it is a very powerful book with real emotions.
