A review by thewomancalledsun
The Origins of Iris by Beth Lewis

4.0

The Origins of Iris contains a compelling storyline that goes were few other stories will go. Through Iris we get an unflinching portrayal of physical and emotional abuse and what it can do to a victim. Iris is not by any means a main character that is easy to like. Because, as is obvious, her story is not an easy one. You get to see her go through different struggles throughout her life and all the decisions and events that take place and lead to where we find her at the beginning of the book. The parallel self storyline was definitely intriguing to explore and provided wonderful insight into what would have become of Iris had she made different decisions along the way. It was an incredibly intriguing and fascinating experience as a reader. I was enthralled from the very first chapter and finished the book in one sitting. Beth Lewis in my opinion did a phenomenal job with this book.
