Something Lost (Funerals and Weddings Series Book 1) by Bernadette Marie – Review by Lorrene Huisman

Something Lost by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is not my first rodeo with this gifted author, but once again they know how to bring not only a story to life, but also the characters, How they write, is more than just a technique, their characters that they create tend to leap off the page in a sense of how realistic they are! The story was a wonderful read, start to finish.

I loved how I was able to relate not only in sense to the charact4ers, but you really got a feel for them! For the character Craig. He did a lot of growing up through out this novel I found he had big dreams he wanted to make soar, but somethings he wanted or even had, had to be left in the dust to achieve these goals and that is exactly what he chose…but were they truly the best decisions for him? He loved Rachel, truly yes. She was left behind, but perhaps she kept a piece of her heart always?

Rachel grew up as well. She did not at times have the best father and daughter relationship. I found she chose to grow up to be what was expected of her and not really what she wanted. At first glance it seemed her and Craig were the match made in Heave, but both of them chose different lives and paths. Is this how it was meant to be? Or did fate have other plans for these two souls?

Years passed since Craig and Rachel first saw one another or even interacted for that matter. A sad time brought them together. One thing was certain though, though the times and years that had passed, they never truly let go of one another. When they got to spend time together again, i found it was as of all those years and time was swept away, they had so much chemistry and good moments between them it seemed as if they both were thinking and realizing maybe they have a chance as the one thing that would completely make them happy and full their hearts with no doubts?

I loved reading Craig’s and Rachel’s story. They seemed so real, as if I was sitting listening to their story and more like they were close friends to me, and I was the cheerleader rooting for them to take that chance as well as leap of faith they ended up missing out on. The story was more than just touching and emotional, it was beautiful, fragile, and to me reading their story shows you what makes life worth it.

I really enjoyed this book, and once again enjoyed this story by this captivating author. I look forward to the next in their series they have started here. This was a well written book, and one I enjoyed very much with all my heart. Yes, I highly recommend. It is defiantly a read worth while in more ways than one!
