It's rare that I take the time to review a book beyond a simple star rating, but I felt I needed to take the time to share my thoughts on this novella. Torn was a fantastic debut from Kayla Jones. I read it in small bits over the course of 2-3 days and enjoyed it immensely. Often with debut works, the writing is sloppy and rushed, or filled with the use of the same words repeatedly. Kayla's novella was a pleasant surprise as it was well written, imaginative, and entertaining. I'm excited to see more from this author as she continues to mature in her writing.

As the author, it might be strange for me to be writing a review for my own book. However, being seen as weird has never stopped me from doing anything before this. Haha!
So, I just wanted to say that Torn has been such a growing journey for me, from typing out that first outline to sending out the final copy of Torn to my ARC readers. As this was my first experience writing a book, and will be my first experiencing self-publishing, I can say that I am so glad I decided to step off of the boat and onto the waves of becoming and author.
Torn has helped me overcome my fears on a metaphorical level (the writing process and the themes I explored with this book), and on a physical level (actually writing a book and being, in the somewhat scary process, of publishing a book).
Although Torn is short, because it is a novella, I believe that it will touch many hearts in big ways. I trust that God will use the writing gift that He has given me to bring glory to Him. I pray that Torn is read by and touches those who need it.
All that to say, October 3rd is Torn's release date! So stay tuned, because I cannot wait to see what you think!! Once you have read it please leave a review on Goodreads so that I can see what you thought.
Happy waiting,
Kayla <3
