Lotus by Jennifer Hartmann is such a beautiful book. It follows childhood best friends Oliver and Sydney after Oliver is kidnapped as a child only to return years later after escaping.

Oliver is reeling and adjusting to a world he hasn’t been a part of for years and years. When he moves in with his brother and discovers his childhood best friend lives next door, it’s an opportunity for Oliver to reconnect with his past and begin to move forward. Sydney has felt Oliver’s absence for years and years and to get him back just feels like fate. With both of them as adults, their reconnection strikes up something on a deeper level.

Oliver and Sydney are just 2 characters who you have to root for. Their love story is beautiful and epic and this is my favorite book by Jennifer Hartmann.

I will never emotionally recover from this. I have no words, except I would protect Oliver Lynch with my life. A heartwarming, tear jerking, emotionally shattering work of art.
