This book took a serious tool on my heart. It was passionate, sweet, thought provoking and so much more I didn’t know I needed.
I can’t wait to read whatever else Angie puts out.
Her writing really made me fall head over hells with her characters and long for their happy ending.

Interesting story of souls linked to one another throughout multiple incarnations.

Lizzie/Claudia, Sage/Alex have stories that tell us about love found at the wrong time, unexpected love healing hearts and second chances.

Depending on your perspective, four happy/unhappy endings.

I loved the contrasting timelines, and the stories between the two couples - an interesting premise!
Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

I received this book from the author via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book follows two different couples in 2 different times. Lizzie and Claudia in 1862 and Sage and Alex in 2014. Each short chapter alternates between the 2 different timelines, which I found jarring at times as it didn't let me immerse myself too fully into either of the stories, although this got easier as the book progressed.

I loved Lizzie and Claudia's story, it was so beautiful and tragic. <spoiler>Though didn't get a happy ever after together (in this life), it was realistic for the time, and they both had good lives.</spoiler>

While Sage and Alex's story was sweet, I found it hard to route for them and I just couldn't warm to Alex, she was too frustrating at times. Still a enjoyable read.

Will be looking out for more by the author.

Awakening Hearts follows the story of two couples discovering what it means to be soul mates, each finding major obstacles in their path to being together. Lizzy and Claudia meet in 1862 when Claudia comes to stay with Lizzy’s family after a tumultuous childhood. Sage and Alex meet in 2014 when Alex books a massage with Sage.
This was very well written but the story just wasn’t for me. Each chapter alternates between the two couples and I had a hard time getting into each story. There was a lot of back and forth and just felt like it was rehashing the same sentiments chapter after chapter. I missed the reference to religious turmoil in the book description as well and that part just isn’t really appealing to me. I am not usually a fan of historical fiction but this sounded intriguing and was hopeful the more modern tie in would help but it just wasn’t my cup of tea. I’d definitely try something else by this author though, hopefully some new work comes out soon.
