No More Words by Kerry Lonsdale
5.0
Prepare to be sucked in and not be able to stop reading! No More Words is Kerry Lonsdale's latest novel and is book one of a trilogy (insert excitement and cheering!!) If you have never had the chance to experience Lonsdale's story telling, take an afternoon and give her a try. She is an amazing author and you will not be disappointed.
We meet Olivia and her siblings, growing up with a difficult father who is desperately trying to have the perfect family and run for office. But life is hard living under the microscope. The children are blessed to enjoy summers away at the lake with family friends while their mom and dad continue working. Life long friendships are born and the kids are immune to the real-life happenings of what goes on behind the curtain of adulthood.
Present day brings us to find Olivia dealing with her own life as an adult. Lily ran away years ago, pregnant and scared. Lucas is struggling to make ends meet. Mom and Dad are still together but struggle to stay that way. And like that, Josh, Lilly's son finds Olivia with legal papers in hand that elect her as his guardian if anything happens to his mother. Josh has trouble speaking and is unable to help Olivia find his mom. Olivia begins the search to uncover her family's secrets and what she finds can't stay buried anymore.
Lonsdale makes you fall for your characters. You root for them, you fall in love with them, and you can really dislike them too. Kerry Lonsdale's writing is easy to read and easy to follow long with. She is able to put you right in the story and make you feel like you are right there with the characters and setting. The chapters are just the right length, not too long and not too short. (Not that chapter length is important when you will read through the entire book in a day ;) )
I will be recommending No More Words to all my book-loving friends and will be anxiously awaiting the next installment in this trilogy! Special thanks to Kerry Lonsdale, Jen Cannon, Lake Union Publishing, and NetGalley for the advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest opinion. 5 stars!
