From the Moon I Watched Her

This book is tough for me to review. I have SO many questions, and things I want to bring up/discuss, but obviously cannot without giving away too much of the plot. I definitely think this book lends itself rather well to being a “bookclub” book!

There are heavy topics tackled here (abuse, incest, rape, abortion), just to name a few. There is also A LOT of preaching/religion throughout. I usually steer clear of books that “preach”, however, it didn't bother me in this one. I found the story interesting and skillfully written. Most of the characters had a decent amount of fleshing out to them as well.

I probably would have given this 5 stars, but I felt that the ending was rushed, and for “me” a little ambiguous(?) As I mentioned above, it left me with A LOT of questions that I wanted a little more insight on. A little more explanation. I also would have liked a chapter or two farther in the future. Just to have a little more closure. However, that is probably more a “preference” issue than a flaw with the book.

Overall, this was an excellent book, and deserves two strong thumbs up from yours truly.
