Whisper Me This by Kerry Anne King
2.0
1.5 stars rounded up.
Trigger warnings definitely needed for domestic violence and substance abuse along with neglect.
The writer has great technique and her literary skills can’t be denied, which is why this is rated more than 1 star for me. I thought this would be a gripping thriller, but it really was just a long winded unraveling of overcoming childhood trauma and violence. There are glimmers of hope sprinkled throughout the text, but ultimately I was left feeling drowned out by the drawn out storyline. I guess I came into this book holding different expectations of what the journey would be like. It was definitely predictable in the end, which was also a bit of a let down.
Probably won’t be reading anymore of this author’s work.
