Review and Giveaway of The Light in the Wound by Christine Brae

Affected by her parents’ highly publicized divorce, Isabel grows up isolated and alone, with a resolve to never fall in love and repeat their mistakes.

When Jesse Cain enters her life, she falls hopelessly in love with him, and every sadness she’s ever felt is washed away by his intensity and passion. But people change as they grow up. Things can never stay the same forever.

Jesse and Isabel fight to stay together, determined to hold on to what they once had. Isabel wonders if a second love can ever be enough to make her forget her first.

My Review:

First off let me start by saying after finishing The Light in the Wound I was an emotional mess.I cried so much while reading this book, I believe my children started questioning my sanity. This story was beyond powerful, a heart-wrenching, emotional roller coaster, that kept me entranced until the very end. The pure, raw emotion that this book exudes is astounding. The characters, and their emotions felt so real. Every emotion Isabel felt during her journey, I felt, every tear she cried, I cried. In my opinion The Light in the Wound is a story of making mistakes, and making some more, it's about doing what makes you happy even if it hurts other people, it's about following your heart, yet holding on to the past. The Light in the Wound, shows us that first loves never die, you always hold on to the memories and experiences of a first love. First loves and every love that follow forever impact who you are today and who you will be in the future.

The Light in the Wound was written so well, the story flowed, the characters developed, there was suspense, emotion, drama and at times a little laughter. It encompassed everything that a great book is. I hope and I pray that Christine Brae continues this story or at least does a novella about Jesse, I think he needs to move forward and find love. 

This book goes on my list of books that impact me long after I have read them. I recommend The Light in the Wound to anyone who has ever had a first love (because everyone has). If I could rate it higher I would but no amount of hearts could describe this book.
