Over the last year or so my reading has slowed right up and I’ve been pretty slack when it comes to my blog, family and work life seems to just get in the way.
The to read pile has got bigger (apologies to anyone waiting for a review, I have not forgotten you, your books are all patiently waiting, taunting me that I should make time for them and annoying my husband who says I could start a book shop!) but let me get to the reason we are here and that is that I was kindly given the opportunity to read Remember the Butterfly by the talented author Rebecca L Marsh, in return for my honest review.

Synopsis
Something unexpected changes the course of Jillian’s life.
After witnessing her sister’s murder, she’s been tormented
by survivor’s guilt. Her desperate longing for a child compounds her grief,
while endless fertility treatments weigh down her soul.
Just when hope seems beyond her grasp, her dream of
motherhood comes true. All Jillian’s pain is washed away and joy fills her
heart.
But when someone shows up threatening to take it all away,
Jillian must choose between holding on to her newfound happiness or giving it
all up for the sake of someone she loves.
My Review
This is the second book I have read by this amazing
author and what can I say, one word would be wow.
I struggled to put the book down, Within the first couple of
chapters I was hooked.
Remember The Butterfly was wonderfully written, the story
covers some difficult subjects such as grief, infertility, IVF, and domestic
abuse, it’s all crammed in but all written in such a sensitive way. So much heartache,
guilt, love and sacrifice just oozed out of the pages sucking me in, what a whirlwind of emotions this book
threw at me. It even had the tears flowing.
Rebecca wrote this book giving two sides of the story, and
when I got to part two, I was a bit worried to be leaving Jillian’s story
behind, I couldn’t see where it was going or how another character would fit in, but soon I was wrapped up in Keeley’s life wondering how either
of these desperate characters were going to resolve their problems or would
neither of them get a happy ever after.
I just had to keep reading, I needed to
find out.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and all the emotions that
came with it, but, feel that it should come with a warning ….
Get Your Tissues ready!
I would not read this book without a box of tissues to hand,
and although it sends you on an emotional rollercoaster it was a thoroughly compelling read.
Thank you so much Rebecca for allowing me to read your
wonderful book.
I cant wait to get stuck into one of your others.
