Far From You by Tess Sharpe

This was a very enjoyable read. I liked Sophie as a main character and the alternating chapters of past and present worked really well for the story. And the reveal had me shook. It also had me on the edge of my seat.
And YAY FOR A BISEXUAL MC.

I couldn't, and still can't believe, that this is a debut novel.

I thought this was a well-written, realistic and heart-wrenching story, with a mystery that I wasn't prepared for (I've discovered I'm crap at guessing whodunnits, and I was totally sucker-punched by the reveal in this book). There was quite a bit going on, some characters that I mildly disliked (sorry dead girl), and occasionally I struggled with the time-laspes between chapters. But overall, I really enjoyed this read, I love the cover (sob) and I'm looking forward to reading more from Sharpe.

I’ll choose you,” I say. “No matter how hard it is, no matter what people say, every time, I’ll choose you.” “It up to you to choose me back.”

My continued love for Tess sharpe, I’ve yet to read a FMC by her that I have not loved. She writes morally grey so well, and I never see the ending coming

Sophie and Mina's relationship was best part of this book, who did it was done so badly it was like author didn't know either until end. Still book is very addictive.
