Still Beating by Jennifer Hartmann

dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

3.75

This one was very dark, tragic, horrific and sad. Lots of triggers and if you’re wanting a happy book, step away now. I mean I knew that going in, but just warning you now. I liked it but it was missing something for me. To be so deep in parts, there was an immaturity at times that I just couldn’t shake. Again it may just be me because another book recently that everyone has raves about felt like it was missing something for me too.

Painfully beautiful

This story literally hurt my heart. I spent a good 30 minutes just crying. It's a mix of devastation pain and also comfort in a weird terrifying way. Both main characters experience things you could literally Only Imagine and they find comfort in one another while also trying to find themselves

Wow!

This book was so beautifully written.

A story about two people who learn to survive, and heal, and love again together. What a heart wrenching experience.

I listened to this book in less than 24 hours! It was amazing! So many WTH moments! I would recommend this book to pretty much anyone.

I devoured this book. I absolutely loved the take the author did with this story. At first I was a little hesitant with how it was going to play out, but the more I read the more I loved this book. Then ending was what I crave in every book and left me feeling whole and satisfied. Not many books take a kidnapping, and focus on the before, during, and mainly afterwards with healing from a trauma like that.
