Review of "The Words We Lost" by Nicole Deese

The hits keep coming (in the best way!) - I have enjoyed all the books from this author, but "The Words We Lost" definitely exceeded my expectations.

Told through a "then and now" perspective, this book shares the story of three best friends with varied backgrounds and history...how the bonds they share(d) shaped and molded them over the years. How things are not always the way you believed them to be, but it can still be all right in the end. I found the pacing and surprise elements to be perfectly timed. The relationships are ones you will wish you have/had and the life challenges they experience are not especially common, yet are still written in a way that makes the core emotions behind them relatable.

I am still thinking about this story. I truly loved this book and highly recommend it.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
