Providence by Caroline Kepnes

5.0

SPOILER FREE REVIEW AHEAD This author has a distinct style of writing! I am such a fan. Her almost rapid fire type of writing keeps me engaged and wanting more every time. This story was so unique! Jon is equal parts human and monster, which makes him such a great representation of the central point of this story. Chloe is sweet and understanding and loving. Their connection without any logical reason really encompasses how love tends to happen in real life I think. When you love someone, you just know you do. You can list a hundred thousand things you love about them, or who you are with them, but at the end of the day you can no more hold onto that love or separate yourself from it than you could grasp running water. It’s natural, it moves and it lives. Only caroline Kepnes could make Carrig into anyone even semi human after the beginning introduction to him, but she did. I love this story. It’s deeper than it seems. Pay attention. I took my time with it due to limited attention span lately because I wanted to be able to really ‘get it.’ HIGHLY recommend this book and this author. It deserves a place in your collection.This title does have v!olence, , but I’d rate it PG13 level. No smut here. Some cursing if I remember correctly, but there was so little if there was that In struggling to remember 100%. Triggers include emotional abandonment, mention of su!c!dal ideation, v!olence, gun v!olence, de@th, medical issues, cancer, special needs children. I am a pretty sensitive person as far as triggers and I made it through it without problems if that gives you an idea. Hope this is a series as well!
