"Wrecked & Yours" By: CeeCee James
Rating: ☆☆☆☆
When running is no longer an option….
Once in a while I run into a story that has my heart aching from the first page to the last. This was that book. Miranda and Cassie were as close as sisters could be. Losing their mom years earlier meant they had more reason than usual to rely on each other for love and support. As their lives took another tragic turn there circumstances changed drastically once again. This time, however, Jason was going to be become a much loved part of their small family. Fast forward years later and their lives, and their relationships, had taken another turn. They weren’t that close-knit family anymore and friendship, let alone love, may not be possible anymore.
I really enjoyed this book about family, love and reconciliation. The trio of family/friends had gone through a lot together and their bond seemed air tight. They all had so much to overcome in their childhoods that it not a big surprise that, as adults, they were still struggling with the aftermath. There are no quick fixes here or magic wands of forgiveness. Miranda is going to have to deal with the ghosts she has wrestled with for so long as Cassie and Jason have to do the same.
The story flashed back and forth between the start of their journey to the present which worked but I found jarring at times. My linear thinking probably wanting the chronology to be in order. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I loved her gentle yet eloquent way of dealing with so many difficult subjects with a compassionate hand. Emotional and heartfelt, this was a wonderful introduction to a new author.
