Gain Access Come Away With Me Engineered By Karma Brown In Digital Copy

my full review at sitelink blogspot. com.

Please excuse me while I gush a little bit well, maybe a lot! about Come Away With Me by Karma Brown, It has been quite a while since a book made me actually, physically cry, . . like big, fat, hiccupinducing tears, . . but that is exactly what happened on and off as I read this story, The raw emotions these characters are experiencing are written so vividly I at times felt like I could feel their pain, anger, anxiety and hollowing sadness along with them.
While this did bring about some strange looks from my husband and dogs I am so happy to have experienced these feelings along with Tegan.
This is a story that will consume you, and in my opinion that makes one hell of a great read,

After the accident Tegan can't seem to get out of her own head or see past her grief, and is so filled with an emptiness and livid anger that she can't help but want to hide away from the world and lash out at anyone who even attempts to get her to think about a time when she can start healing and moving on.
While I have thankfully never experienced a tragedy like Tegan's, my son was born two months early and had to spend the first month of his life in the hospital.
He is now a healthy, happy ten year old, but I will never forget going home from the hospital without him and the abject emptiness I felt the first time I walked through the door without him in my arms.
Ms. Brown nails describing this feeling and made me instantly sympathize with Tegan and the myriad physical and emotional symptoms that come along with an accident like she experiences.


As the story progresses the reader not only gets to go along with Tegan and Gabe as they travel to three dream locations but, disbursed throughout, are chapters that go back into Tegan and Gabe's life so we get to see how their love developed and the life they had been living up until the horrible accident.
These chapters are filled with laughter and love, and if you haven't fallen a little in love with Gabe by the end I would be shocked.
He is such a kind, patient person with Tegan and his careful treatment of her as they travel to Thailand, Italy and Hawaii was beyond touching.
Oh, and be prepared to add these three locations to your bucket list, if you haven't already, because Karma Brown's ability to transport the reader made me feel like I was riding an elephant, taking a cooking class filled with ripe tomatoes and garlic and learning how to surf right along with Tegan and Gabe.
She hits all the senses with a bang and I am now ready to put my backpack on and take off!

There is a twist towards the end of the novel that actually made my heart start beating faster.
I honestly didn't see it coming and it really hit me harder than I would have expected given the fact that these things weren't really happening.
Regardless, I think it was perfectly done as it drives the story in a direction that will finally come to a conclusion with a sense of satisfaction and hopefulness.
After all the tears I was very happy to come to this sort of conclusion!

I can't recommend Come Away With Me enough, to anyone who wants to travel along on a sometimes sad yet always fascinating adventure with some unforgettable characters.
The fact that this is Karma Brown's debut novel is astounding to me, and I can tell you that she has found a foreverfan in this reader.

Drie sterren, dacht ik tijdens het lezen van dit boek, Mooi, maar niet het allerbeste in zijn genre,
En toen kwam het laatste deel en zat ik te snotteren boven de pagina's, Huilen door een boek is een extra ster bij, This book absolutely destroyed me, And I mean that in a very good way,

I fell in love with Tegan and Gabe from page one, and as I became more and more vested in the story, the twist came and ripped my heart out.


Karma is a brilliant writer and I'm so lucky to have had the privilege of reading this story before it was published.
The only other story that actually made me bawl my eyes out was John Green's The Fault in Our Stars, and if you loved that story, I'm sure you will love this one too.


COME AWAY WITH ME is a story that you can never forget because it teaches you so much about love, loss, and becoming whole again.


Seriously, you MUST read this book, Drop everything you're doing and read it now, You WON'T be disappointed. perfect!!!
I cried from the beginning till the end!!!
I loved this journey through the world,
The end blew my mind!!! Hard to believe this is a debut novel, as it is so beautifully written and so emotionally brave.
It's a roller coaster of sadness and laughter along with an armchair adventure, I learned some interesting things about some places that would be fun to visit,
sitelinkKarma Brown has written an incredible story with characters that will stay with readers long after the final page is turned, Just be sure to have tissues handy, I was not able to put it down and have been recommending it to everyone I know,
I don't want to say anything more as to not spoil the story, Just know that you will not regret adding it to your book collection,
As far as casting, I pictured Anne Hathaway sitelink to/iWhc as Tegan, I think Jared Padalecki sitelink to/hjbxXr would be cute as Gabe, I'm interested in hearing casting ideas from anyone else who has read this amazing novel already, Wow! What an incredible Journey the author takes us on!
Even an "OMG" moment that changes everything you thought you knew was happening to something totally different.

A beautifully written, heartwrenching story of love and loss, You guys NO WORDS. Honestly, it's up there for Book of the Year for me,

DEBUT novel, folks, Debut. I would not have believed that at all if someone on the street told me that, but it's clearly a debut and holy cripes it's amazing.
I don't care who you are, if this book doesn't punch you in the gut repeatedly You are a dead soul, You are dead and just nobody I want to know, I'm going to tell you I was doing JUST FINE until chapterand then, . . then I had to stop drinking liquids because I started choking and started with the full on ugly cry to the absolute end of the book.


WHAT KIND OF PLOT TWIST IS THAT, KARMA! I feel like a page before chapterthat says, "Stop reading here unless you can commit to finishing the book in one sitting.
Stop reading if you are in a public place, wearing eye makeup, eating/drinking, or have small children who will be concerned when you start sobbing.
"

OK. calming breath

The book is about Tegan, Tegan is happily married to what is easily the best guy in all of the world, Gabe and currentlymonths pregnant with their first son.
The chapters flash back to "before the accident" and "after the accident" because that accident is the catalyst for the entire story, Tegan and Gabe are driving to his parents house, running late, and they hit black ice, It's a horrific accident that it's amazing there were any survivors, Tegan loses the baby and subsequently undergoes an emergency hysterectomy to save her life, Upon learning that, Tegan spirals into a world of pity, depression, and immense sorrow, Friends and family are deeply concerned that she's never going to come back to normal, When she's hit the absolute bottom, Gabe asks her to bring out their Jar of Spontaneity, which is full of things they wanted to do in their shared life together, to be done when things were feeling dull or stressful during

married life.
Reluctantly she does so and it starts their six week journey to Bangkok, Italy, and Hawaii, They meet amazing people along the way and Tegan struggles to mourn the life she thought she would have and figure out what life is going to be now.


All along the way, Gabe talks to her and reassures her that she can do this, She's not sure and you just feel absolutely awful for her, And then chapterhappens and you feel like you've been punched in the face, So much so that I had to go back and REREAD the entire firstchapters and I could not believe I was that stupid and missed all of the clues.


Seasoned reader here missed ALL of the clue,

Slow clap, Karma Brown, slow clap,

I cannot tell you any more, I can't. It ruins it for you and I swear to you this book is something you need in your life, I think what else drew me to this book was I identified with Tegan, Her and I feel like kindred spirits and one section of the book early on sealed the deal there:

I'm a beacon for the talkers.
It's as if I have a flashing sign that reads, "I want to hear all your stories, especially about your pet or disgusting medical issue!" No matter where I am, whether on the "L" train or walking through a shopping mall or sitting at a picnic bench in the park, the talkers flock to me.
"It's your eyes," Gabe says by way of explanation, "You have curious eyes. "

Then, at the end of the book, Tegan's dad says something to her and it encompasses everything I believe about marriage:

"I don't love your mother any more that I did all those years ago, but the way I love her has changed.
"

And isn't that just the truth I feel like having this printed on little note cards so that every time an idiot says, "I love him, I'm just not "in" love with him" I can throw the card at them.
That phrase is the basis for so many divorces because people don't get that love changes, No matter what happens to any of us in life, the way we love changes,

Anyways.

I highly recommend this book, I can't recommend this to enough people, If you know me at all, you know one of my favorite authors of all time is Susanna Daniel because she is just amazing.
Her books are in my heart forever and I have a feeling Karma Brown will be there right with her, This book gut wrench but amazing. first posted on sitelink blogspot. com.
