With Love from London
by Sarah Jio
Rating 5
This story hit close to home. My mom left when I was 7 years old and I didn’t truly understand why she abandoned me until I was 24. I used to hold the same resentment and bitterness as Valentia did and I would ask the same questions. It’s not something you understand as a child but are more likely to understand as an adult. I’m not saying that makes it okay but people do have their reasons and it's important to hear their side of the story. The whole time I was reading I kept wondering if the reasons behind Eloise leaving her daughter would be justified. Due to spoilers I cannot say but I will say I understand why she did what she did.
This book was so emotional I cried when it ended. I absolutely loved both Eloise and Valentina’s characters. I definitely connected with them both and I love how their characters were written and how the story switched between both of their perspectives. Honestly, this was just a beautiful story filled with heart. A love story between a mom and a daughter finding their way back to one another. I recommend this book to everyone.
