Lotus
by Jennifer Hartmann
As the book synopsis mentions, Oliver was kidnapped as a little boy and broke free as a young adult. There wasn’t a lot of foreshadowing other than the obvious connection between Oliver and Sydney so I was pleasantly surprised how this friends to lovers story also covered the fateful days that lead up to the abduction some surprising turn of events after their reunion.
“Because we’re a fucked up complicated species prone to self-sabotage, baseless insecurities, and the notion that there’s always something better around the corner. We’re constantly chasing imaginary destinations, thinking we’re missing out, wanting more. We’re never truly present.”
“We’ll rise from the ashes with smoke in our lungs and scars on our skin, but we will persevere. We will thrive.”
“The lotus will bloom into the most magnificent flower, even when its roots are in the murkiest of waters.”
