Review
I am just speechless. This story hit me on so many
levels I just don't know where to start. I have just finished
reading it and I HAD to start writing this review, even though I don't know
what I could possibly say other than you need to experience this. Not
soon, not tomorrow, not even later, you need to go purchase this and
immediately begin this journey. This is truly more than just a book or a
story. I felt like Tara Sivec has shared something extraordinarily
intimate with her readers. I'm not even sure I can label the emotions I'm
feeling right now after reading this. I can't tell if
I'm completely destroyed or totally empowered.
Watch Over Me touched on a few topics that are very close
to my heart. As I get older I've come to realize that so is my mother.
She is my best friend, just like Addision's mom was her best friend.
I literally spend hours on the phone with her every day and
cannot imagine what life will be like when she is gone. Because of this,
I felt like I was experiencing Addison 's loss
right along with her, and it was horrible! Thankfully, it was also
therapeutic and reminded me to never take a moment of time I have with my mom,
or anyone, for granted.
As a teenager/young adult I suffered from rather severe
depression. Years of therapy, medication and the support of my friends
and family left me loving myself and my life. Addison ,
however, only has herself to rely on to get through her depression over the
loss of her mother and the overwhelming responsibility her father's downward
spiral gives her. When Zander enters Addison 's
life he helps her to remember what it is to be young and happy again. Zander is
really an amazing guy, I could go on and on about him, but I won't because you
have to experience his LEGO genius for yourself!
Tara Sivec has really outdone herself this time.
She has proven that she is a versatile writer and can be successful
within multiple genres. Watch Over Me is by far her best book to date and
I cannot wait to see what she will come out with next!
