The Day Shelley Woodhouse Woke Up by Laura Pearson
4.0
When Shelly wakes up in the hospital she only has one thing on her mind, telling the police her husband tried to kill her. But no one seems to be very concerned about that, they keep telling her to focus on what she knows, and telling her she is safe. As she lays in her hospital bed recalling her childhood, adolescence, and adult years and every moment that brought her to this one she knows she needs to make some changes to give herself a future.
If you don’t like books where your heart gets ripped out, this may not be for you. I personally love when a book emotionally destroys me so this was right up my ally. I will put an additional warning, this book deals heavily with domestic violence and might not be something everyone is comfortable reading. I do love the way Laura Pearson handles it, with kindness and love for her characters and respect for the incredible hard place they find themselves in. The love and friendship in this book is the bright light that gives this story it’s soul. I enjoyed it immensely and cannot wait for everyone else to get to read it. Look for it April 6 2024.
Thank you to Netgalley and Boldwood Books for letting me review this one a little early.
