A review by bookstacksamber
Signs of You by Emily France
3.0
What I liked:
It starts with a killer opening sentence: “She’s been dead two years when I see her in the grocery store.” Say what?! I got sucked into the book so quickly after that. What a great sentence to get your attention.
This book wasn’t what I was expecting, and I love when books pleasantly surprise me. It’s hard to put this book in a genre box, and it’s always cool to find books like this. Is it contemporary? mystery? paranormal? magical realism? fantasy? It’s a little bit of everything.
I loved the way spirituality and religion was discussed. I typically avoid books with religious components but it really worked in this book. The characters had to learn a lot about St. Ignatius of Loyola in order to solve the mystery, so the religious aspects were history and research based and pretty interesting to read about.
