Only The Small Bones by C.P. Harris
4.0
I was a bit hesitant starting this book because I have been a bit fragile lately. But I am happy that I did. This book is a sucker punch and it hurts reading it. There are some major plot twists that I didn't see coming but they just make sense.
William and Ryan are two broken souls and their lives get so fully intertwined that it is sometimes hard to feel who is feeling what. They may be broken but not unrepairable, they just have to go on this journey, both together and apart, to really get to the heart of the hurt. You will be angry and you will cry and ask why, WHY THEM?. But you will also see the small glimmers of hope. Both characters are flawed and maybe a bit too codependent but in this instance you have to look deeper and search for the why.
And I think this is where CP Harris brings us on a journey of understanding that being hurt and how you react to bad things happening to you is not linear. There are highs and lows and good days and bad days and everything in between. It is jealousy, hate, love and acceptance. Healing is a journey and you just have to be understanding that some heal faster then others and some may never fully heal and that is okay.
I don’t want to give too much away, because I feel like if I start to explain one thing then I need to explain the next and without me realising I will have told you the whole plot. Just be mindful and read the TW’s because this book covers some dark and hard subjects.
