A review by megmegmegegg
The Mountain Story by Lori Lansens

4.0

imperfect, but made me cry throughout. delicate and beautiful character development, lansens also struck a good balance between past and present plot development (the flashbacks, in my opinion, enhanced the story rather than detracting from it, and wove fluidly into the scene playing out on the mountain). some of the reveals came across as contrived, some plot points as implausible, and the implausible nature of different plot points did not always seem necessary to drive forward the plot, but rather as points of incomplete research. nonetheless, i enjoyed this book very much.
