Beyond the Smiles by Minnie Lewis

5.0

I’m not sure what it was about “Beyond the Smiles” but I really couldn’t stop reading it, there was just something that reeled me in and didn’t let go until my curiosity and intrigue had been sated. 

 

The main protagonist is Laura and we predominantly hear her thoughts but we also hear the same events and interactions from other characters too, which at times causes a change in the perspective quite dramatically. This allows the reader to form a more realistic opinion of that character and the situation, making the story a lot more intriguing and engaging. 

 

Family, friendships, greed, deceit, secrets and lies all feature heavily in the storyline and it was an interesting scenario Laura was placed in, when her birth father died and a condition was made regarding her inheritance.  A one that would make for interesting debates/conversations among other readers and a dilemma for sure, whoever was put in that position. 

 

The author, Minnie Lewis has written a story that is rich in detail, incorporating every feeling and emotion each character feels, thus ensuring the scene is set with complete clarity and ambience. I adored this book and highly recommend it to fellow readers of this genre.
