I loved this beautiful book.. It was a roller coaster of emotions and a whirlwind journey with four unforgettable characters. I loved the concept of an invisible red string connecting people who are destined to meet.
Many thanks to the author and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.
As I devoured the pages of 'The Invisible Red String', I felt the weight of my own experiences settle in. The stories of love and loss, of chance meetings and cosmic connections, stirred up a storm within me. I thought of the loved ones I'd lost, the what-ifs that still lingered in my mind, and the unexpected encounters that had changed the course of my life. The authors' words wrapped around my heart like a warm embrace, validating the ache of longing and the beauty of reconnection. This book is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the mysterious forces that guide us toward one another. It's a reminder that our stories are interwoven, and that love can transcend time, distance, and even death. Reading 'The Invisible Red String' felt like coming home to a part of myself I thought was lost forever.
I liked the concept of this because I think the idea is universal. As I carried on reading though, I found I didn't really feel the connection with the characters or the story that I hoped for. I didn't really identify with any of the characters and they didn't speak to me, as I hoped they would.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review.
The Invisible Red String
A love story that transcends time, place, and circumstance.
by Ann Zachariah and Peter Berlin
With four unforgettable characters: John, Anna, Jake, and Lilly, the book shows how lives are connected. I loved it.
Thanks to NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book.
This was a real struggle for me to get through and I did end up DNF. The concept of the book and the plot was good and so were the morals/themes within. I did enjoy the concept of some of the backstories of the characters.
However, I really struggled with the writing. It came across really disingenuous to me. No people in real life talk like the characters in this book. It became almost a word salad. The author never passed up any opportunity to use multiple adjectives and adverbs and it came across as 'look how many words I know.' I also lost count of how many times the author used some variation of the word aroma. I mean we are talking sometimes multiple times in one page. It drove me crazy.
This book does have potential, but really needs a heavy-handed editor.
I loved the concept behind The Invisible Red String but struggled with how it was written. Great potential.
An extraordinary love story that defies time and place, leaving you spellbound from start to finish. This book weaves together the lives of four unique individuals, each carrying their own scars and dreams. It's a story of love, healing, and transformation that transcends boundaries and cultures. John, Anna, Jake, and Lilly's journeys are so beautifully intertwined, and their connections are deeply moving. The authors have crafted a narrative that is both heartwarming and thought-provoking. Their exploration of love's power to heal and connect is truly captivating.
Hold onto your hats, folks, because The Invisible Red String is a love story that'll have your heart doing somersaults! From the very first page, I was hooked by the magical concept of an invisible red thread connecting people destined to meet. This book is like a rollercoaster of emotions, taking you on a whirlwind journey with four unforgettable characters: John, Anna, Jake, and Lilly. They come from different backgrounds, but their stories are bound together by fate in the most unexpected ways.
What I love most about this book is how it tackles heavy topics like abuse and trauma while also celebrating the power of love and connection. It's a story that's as deep as it is heartwarming, and you won't be able to put it down.
