Five Tries to Get It Right by Kathryn Dodson – Review by Barbara Bohls

Five Tries to Get It Right by Kathryn Dodson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an amazing story of friendship and all the healing and tribulations that can come from friendship. It is an amazing heartwarming tale that takes twists and turns that are relatable to the reader. These two friends take a trip to try to work out everything that is going on in their lives at the time. One friend is feeling like there is no where for her to go and is seeing the everything as the end. The other is trying to figure out life without her spouse and a grown daughter. This book deals with some heavy issues that might stir up some feelings in the readers. It deals with depression, suicide, loneliness, but it also deals with strength, courage, finding oneself, and learning to live through what seems like the most. This book not only has the characters going on a journey but takes the reader with them. I was turning pages because I felt myself become so emotional involved with the characters. I needed to know what was going to happen and how they were going to process and heal. I haven’t felt this emotionally connected or moved by a story in a while. I would highly recommend that anyone who reads this book to take the trigger warning seriously. There are some heavy issues that may not be suitable for everyone.
