But when I stopped to consider I realized that I wasn't sure I could handle a first person POV with this kind of story. It would kill me. As it was, seeing Sam through someone else's eyes and getting snippets of his story was ripping me to shreds. So emotional and yet I'm so glad I read it.Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-76376515839509303652017-09-28T00:05:47.781-04:002017-09-28T00:05:47.781-04:00I'm so glad I read it, but it was definitely a...I'm so glad I read it, but it was definitely a tough read emotionally.Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-19218647730867307922017-09-27T06:43:52.778-04:002017-09-27T06:43:52.778-04:00I have read two other books with similar premises ...I have read two other books with similar premises (Aftermath by Clara Kensie and Afterward by Jennifer Mathieu), both left me in puddles of tears. Kensie's book was only from the POV of the survivor. Mathieu's was from the POVs of one of the survivors and the other survivor's sister. I thought the outside POV gave the story an extra layer and added to the depth of the pain. It sounds like Wilson did that in this book by excluding the survivor's POV, and it sounds like it was successful from your review. I have to check this one out.

Because of course, things can't go back to normal, no matter how much everyone may want them to. Excellent review; if this were my kind of book I would definitely want to read it.
