You're Going To Want To Read This Somewhere Where You Can Cry. Wow. This is a tragic tale, all around. It is primarily about two sisters and the scars they share - and the lengths they will both go to try to overcome them. Amazing story, solid mystery (though some of it becomes obvious earlier than the actual reveal). This one will grabs you with the first line, has you tearing up a bit early on... and then can have full on water works through the last quarter to third or so of the tale. Light a...
This book was a solid read but a few things kept me from really enjoying it. One, Josie is very selfish, and when she's young, with her issues, it's understandable. As an adult though... I really cannot fathom how she stayed away from her family for fifteen years seemingly without remorse, lied to her husband for over a decade, and thought she could get away with it. Two, Josie and Kit reconnect far too late in the story for real drama to happen, so the ending is lackluster. Everything is forgiv...
The book is primarily about two sisters, the scars they share and the lengths they will both go to try and overcome them. I was immediately drawn in! I instantly connected with this author's writing style and characters. The book is an easy read and may be predictable at times, but I tend to look for this in a light read. The book provides romance, lies, passion, and betrayals with a little mystery thrown in. Something for everyone
When We Believed in Mermaids is an engrossing, turbulent, and poignant book about two sisters, Kit and Josie. When the story begins, Kit is shocked to see her sister in the background of a news broadcast from New Zealand, thousands of miles away from their home in California--especially since Josie had been killed 15 years earlier. When she goes to New Zealand to find her sister, Kit unknowingly sets off a chain of events that will impact her own life, as well as that of her sister and the life
I just found this whole book so unrealistic. As a NZ’er who lives in Auckland I have to point out we don’t get earthquakes in Auckland, we also don’t refer to Maori people as ‘Maori’s’ (the slim Maori girl behind the counter, the chubby Maori driver) 🤦🏼♀️ just no. And then just happened to run into her sister on the street? Are you kidding me
When We Believed In Mermaids is a novel about sisters, love, lies, loss and healing.The storyline switches between two sisters and between the past and the present.I thoroughly enjoyed this well-written story!
I am fuming, absolutely fuming right now. I feel so painstakingly deceived by Goodreads right now - my one reliable source for discovering new and intellectually stimulating stories. How is this book rated 4.23 stars??? There must be a miscalculation on the site's end... There must be!! The premise of this book was deliciously enticing as was the book cover (which further upholds the statement of never judging a book by its cover) because this book was garbage. This book was a constant motio...
This book was... less than mediocre. The book claims to be some kind of mystery but really, it's not. The first line is Kit seeing her presumed-dead-from-a-terror-attack-in-France sister on the news about a nightclub fire in New Zealand. So Kit flies off to Auckland to... hook up with a Spanish musician and eat pastries and buy inks and hook up with the Spanish musician some more and comment on his chest hair and spare-tire belly and she asks like 2 people if they've seen her sister and ugh...It...
Stunning, quick read that I finished in just two sittings! When We Believed in Mermaids is a raw and tormented story of two sisters. Their tale is told in alternating chapters with flash backs to their tumultuous childhood that was filled with neglect, abuse, and addiction.It's a story that made me question what is family, what is love, and when is it better to walk away? I highly recommend, but have your tissues nearby!
What I Loved: I loved the cover of this book. Fair warning, this was not a well-liked book for me.How I Felt: The beginning of this book had me completely hooked. "My sister had been dead for fifteen years when I see her on the TV news." I was like, "Yes!" This book is going to be awesome!" I felt so let down from that point on. I, in no way, ever want to bash a book, and I am usually finding myself handing out 4 and 5 star reviews because I just love books, but I was on the Struggle-Bus for thi...
So much wasted potential. Fair warning, I did not enjoy this book. (I don't think there's spoilers but proceed at risk) I’m absolutely gutted at how dreadful this book was. It has firmly lodged itself in my top five least favourite books of the past couple of years and almost led me to have a January DNF – as if January 2020 hasn’t been bad enough as it is.This year I decided to put aside some of my beloved fantasy in favour for a little more dramatic reading. After this, I think I’ll be convert...
Wish I had seen that the genre was “romance “ and “chick lit” (what a horrid term!). The book description focuses on the relationship between the two sisters and promises suspense but reader beware —— you’ll spend pages upon pages on inane descriptions of kit and her budding romance and every detail of their pastries and his chest hair and sunglasses, with only glimpses of the actual plot. I really hate to not finish a book but I couldn’t make it past page 91.
