I don’t know where to begin to talk about When I Come Back by Alise Monrore.  This book is like a train of emotions and it will keep hitting you almost every chapter when you read the book.  Alise Monroe did a great job having the characters with raw emotions that are hard to go through.  When I Come Back was also written with the characters not having a perfect family and realizing it was too late to fix things.  This helped the characters grow and learn from life.

Seeing not only the main characters admitting their mistakes but also the parents was huge. Having people see they could admit their mistakes helped and they could understand why people acted the way they did and understand the past.  I enjoy seeing characters that have strong development and not only did they have that with the main ones but also the side ones as well.

When I Come Back is truly a book that will have you feeling.  And the flashbacks to learn more about what happened and more backstories were done so well.  It wove into the story so effortlessly.  With the feelings there is romance but it’s not the happy-go-lucky and that is okay.  This is a different level of romance that isn’t often but is nice to see.

When I Come Back is a Four-Star read with a Spice Level that will have smoke coming out of your ears.  This book is a 4 Chili Pepper.  While the spice was written well I feel like it was a bit too much at times and was just there and not adding to the story.

When I Come Back is available now wherever you get your books.  And if you are part of Kindle Unlimited this book is included in your membership.
