Unclutter (Inner Voice Book #1) by Winnie D Pagora – Review by Angela Hayes

Unclutter: A Survivor’s Story by Winnie D. Pagora
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 Stars

Unclutter: A Survivor’s Story is the first book in the Inner Voice series by Winnie D. Pagora is raw and emotional story about overcoming trauma while also learning to ‘live’ again. This story is heavy, dark, gritty, and thought-provoking in parts. It contains sensitive subject matter that could be triggering for some readers- so read the TWs before diving in (topics such as sexual abuse/child abuse, rape, self-harm/cutting, mental health issues, suicidal thoughts, PTSD, betrayal, shaming, gaslighting, domestic abuse, bullying- and more).
This story is shocking, heart-wrenching, and touching, all wrapped up in a dramatic package. I really felt for Tina and what she went through. But I got to watch her, develop, grow, and overcome over the course of the story, which gave the story some extra depth.
The heavy subject matter was well-balanced with some touching and tender moments, some light-hearted scenes, true friendship, resilience, strength of character, and a lot of heart.
The story is quite ‘wordy’ in parts, and contains a lot of character, with quite a lot going on- which made for a lot to process. At times the ‘wordiness and ‘heavy’ aspects slowed the flow of the story down considerably- but this didn’t detract much from my overall opinion of the book.
This appears to be Ms. Pagora’s debut novel and is also the first book in a series- so I am intrigued to see what else Ms. Pagora can/will do.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Winnie D. Pagora!
