More Than by Diane Barnes – Review by Angela Hayes

More Than by Diane Barnes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.5 Stars

More Than by Diane Barnes is quite a relatable women’s fiction story about love, loss, family, lessons, denial, self-worth issues, journey of discovery/self-discovery, friendship, learning to live again, life, drama, and emotion.
Peggy is so relatable- her issues were true to life and made it easy to connect with her and invest in her story. That’s not to say that I didn’t want to shake her at times, but even in those moments she came across as very believable and ‘real’.
After losing her husband years earlier, and raising her twins as a single mother, Peggy had managed to ‘lose’ herself somewhere along the way. With weight issues and no ‘real’ life outside of her family, apart from her favourite TV show… about connecting with loved ones who have passed over. She’s a little lost, lonely, and partly living in the past. Her children have left the nest and moved on to the next chapter of their lives, which means Peggy really is at a loss. A gift from her children seemed like a slap in the face for Peggy, but is it really the key to unlocking the chains that have held her stagnant for so long? Does she find new purpose and learn to really live again? You should really read all the interesting details for yourself…
This may have been the first book that I have read by Ms. Barnes, but after discovering how well she writes, it certainly won’t be the last…
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Diane Barnes!
