No More Words by Kerry Lonsdale
5.0
All the stars to the first book in a new trilogy.
I have to admit when reading, I didn't know it was going to be part of a series but I'm so pleased that it is.
No More Words is a tale of a broken, dysfunctional family that is (without them truly knowing) on the edge of complete and utter ruin.
Three siblings who were once close, torn apart by lies, secrets and jealousy.
An unplanned pregnancy, a stint in jail and cheating boyfriends, not to mention a murder. These are children that have been through (and continue to go through) a lot so it is no wonder that they have trust issues in amongst all of the other problems that they are dealing with.
Now I feel this is hard one to review as I don't want to give too much away.
It is told primarily from one point of view Olivia - who is the eldest - we get taken on a journey through past and present, starting with the summer of 95, to show what led up to such heartbreak for the Carson children.
It is clear with each chapter that Kerry really knows what she's doing. The raw emotion and depth which each character experiences pulses through the pages.
There are multiple layers to this tale, mystery and romance combined, every person with their own arc, a story to tell, this gave the book a well rounded feeling.
There are a few lose threads but that keeps us wanting the next book (ASAP please).
What No More Words showed me was that although we may. make mistakes, experience regrets and enormous feelings of guilt along our life's journey, what matters is that we continue to live and learn. Don't let the past define you instead let it give you the strength to keep moving forward.
Amongst the sadness and turmoil there are moments of joy and adoration.
I cannot wait to see more from this family.
