The Heart Principle by Helen Hoang
4.0
This was absolutely spectacular.
This is not a traditional love story. I thought this was going in one direction and then it went completely the opposite way and I appreciated it even more. This does read more like a women's fiction to me because the romantic relationship is not at the forefront for most of the story. The heroine's journey to self-discovery and both their journeys to self-healing and love is what was prevalent.
Learning to love oneself and knowing what you are capable of bringing to a relationship was a strong theme in this story. Both characters are broken people who believe they are not good enough and seeing them discover who they truly are whilst being with each other was beautiful to read.
Whilst reading, I kept thinking how this read so personal. I couldn't shake the feeling that some of the emotions were based on true worries, anguish and hurt and then I read the author's note and it all made sense.
