A review by avalinahsbooks
Primrose Street by Marina L. Reed

4.0

It's about the intertwined lives of a small rural town – but through a completely adult point of view, and not tied to just one person's life – but rather the lives of a community, as a collective whole. The author shows us the flow of life of all the people living in the town, and how their lives intertwine – and they intertwine in the most unexpected ways, sometimes beautiful, sometimes even scandalous. It's a study of human behavior and the secrets they keep and how the smallest decisions can sometimes affect multiple lives and change them completely. I can't say the book was particularly sad or aimed at being so, I would rather say it was realistic – but one might come to agree that reality can be grim. Some of the situations in the book got me down with their sad reality of love, loss and 'it's just how it is'. Ultimately, the book could be set in any small neighbourhood or town – that's what I found most interesting about it.

I thank Blue Moon Publishing for sending me a copy for review in exchange for my honest opinion. It doesn't affect my opinion.
