Everything I Never Told You

I love the way this author writes. It's beautiful and devastating at the same time. It starts out pretty slow, setting up what's to come, but picks up and keeps you engaged. Digging into Lydia's personality, and who she really is when isn't hiding her true self, is hard to read.

It makes you wonder how well we know our loved ones and what they struggle with inside. It also makes me want to grab my children and grandchildren and hug them tight and keep them close.

Sometimes a smile, a hug, even a kind word can completely change someone's day. We don't know what people are struggling with...be kind.
