~ Review ~

The Light in the Wound by Christine Brae was a fabulous read!! It takes place over many years and is a true coming of age love story.  Christine’s writing style was beautiful.  Everything flowed together beautiful and she really did paint a picture for me with the story.  Isabel was such a likeable and relateable character.  I loved her inner strength and even when she “lost” herself in her relationship you could still see the strength deep down inside.  Isabel does not have the perfect upbringing.  Although she is very well off and lives a lifestyle most can only dream of; her parents are very ustable and have not been good relationship role models.  Basically raised by her grandparents and away from her two sisters, Isabel leads a lonely life.  When she meets Jesse she falls head of heels for him and in the process loses a great deal of identity.  I dont want to give away too much because as a reader you really need to watch the beauty of the story unfold before your eyes.  I absolutely loved this book and would recommend it to everyone.  It is not a fast paced, anxiety ridden book like a lot of the books I have read lately but it is a beautiful love story about a girl really learning what true love is. It was such a nice change of pace for me and I hope you all will take the time to read it.
