Finding Starlight (Quimby Grove Book 1) by Shannon Nikole – Review by Jess Dimmock
Finding Starlight by Shannon Nikole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A beautiful story of growth and grief.
Our story centers around Ellawyn, a woman trapped in a relationship that’s abusive, her escape from it, and how she learns to grow and heal from it.
It’s about Benji, an old man with a beautiful soul who recognizes the battered yet beautiful soul in his bookstore every day, and the bond of kinship they form.
It’s about Beckett, the driven man who comes home to the bookstore he loves to be with his grandfather, and the woman he discovers and is captivated by.
These three characters interweave into a masterpiece that talks about grief in different forms and how we heal from it. There are some scenes that could definitely be triggering for survivors of abusive relationships, and deals with stalkers as well, so be prepared. This tale doesn’t pull its punches, but it doesn’t use them as the sole storyline either.
This is a well written masterpiece that will only get better with each re-reading.
