A review by leesha_nyaa
Mrs. Nash's Ashes by Sarah Adler

emotional funny hopeful sad

5.0

People suck. 
That was the conclusion I came to as I was balling my eyes out towards the end of this book. 
The world is a cruel and sad place and history makes me sad. 
Elsie and Rose's story almost broke me. 
It's like the first time you watched the Titanic movie. You learn that the Titanic was a real ship that went down and Jack died, but then you learn that Jack and Rose weren't real. Then you're heartbroken because you wish they were real, and that Rose was real and just found a way to make room on that stupid floating door for a few more minutes...

Elsie and Rose are my Titanic love story.
My floating door scene was Elsie not accepting that Rose wanted everything with her.


Millie and Hollis's story was no better for me. The fact that Hollis attempted to do something so cruel made me dislike him. Regardless if he came to his senses. Why would he do that knowing what Millie's ex did to her?
The fact that he tried to make a profit from Elsie and Rose's story made me so angry
, that I almost threw the book across the room! 

Overall, I loved this book. It. made me feel so many emotions that I can't fathom reading another book for a while. I need time to process that it ended.
