Holding Back the Years starts off kinda slow for me but as a new fan of Kasha Thompson’s books, Figure of Speech and Sight Unseen are amazing, I decided to stick with it believing that it would pick up.

I didn’t know where the story of Seraphina and August would take me as a reader but in the end I was pleasantly surprised by the characters, their development, and the story in general.

While I wasn’t sold on the chemistry between Seraphina and August, the secondary story connecting the two was really interesting and kept me hooked.

I recommend Holding Back the Years for anyone looking for a good read with some funny moments.
