A review by harrietannreads
Before My Actual Heart Breaks by Tish Delaney

5.0

Beginning the year with a 5 star read bodes well! Trying to write reviews in 2023 so I actually remember why I give books certain ratings.

This book was beautifully written and deeply moving. I didn’t want it to end. I say I didn’t want it to end but at one point I considered maybe giving it 4 stars because I did feel the pacing was a bit off. Tish Delaney went into extensive detail at the beginning and it really immersed you in the life and thoughts of Mary. But, the plot started to feel increasingly rushed towards the end.

Still, the writing and the plot itself made up for it. It was an emotional rollercoaster; both heart wrenching and joy inspiring.
