The Book of Lost Friends by Lisa Wingate

3.0

---

I liked this book, I liked the characters, I was invested in the story but this book cannot hold a candle to “Before We Were Yours” and I’m not convinced that this is the author’s fault. Like BWWY this book flip flops from past to present (present being 1987) sometimes leaving the chapters with a cliffhanger and yes cliffhangers are great but what isn’t great is when we pick up the story again and the resolution of said cliffhanger is just BLAH. My version of the book was an iBook and came in at 339 pages when I feel it should have been at least 370, maybe then I wouldn’t feel so cheated out of some of the story. As I said I don’t think this is the author’s fault but maybe more down to the editor and publishers wanted the book below 400.

So to sum it up good story that I think could’ve been great.
