I originally picked this book because it takes place on Edisto Island where I was supposed to go on vacation next week. Well, we know how that turned out. This book was a good substitute- the author did a great job encapsulating the atmosphere of Edisto. The book itself is about families, secrets, and forgiveness. I really enjoyed it.

The one thing that bothered me was that the male protagonist had no problem using his staff as baby sitters 🤯

mrp27 That stinks about your vacation. One of my good friends from New York was supposed to come and visit me for a week. We've tentatively rescheduled for fall. 4y
Bookwormjillk @mrp27 thanks. We‘re trying to make the best of it. Might even camp in the back yard! 4y
mrp27 Great idea, sounds like fun! 4y

Karen White is one of my favorite authors, because of her ability to weave multi-layered stories about love and loss, and to create memorable characters who grow and change in both subtle and profound ways. She transitions effortlessly between past and present, revealing just enough information to keep the reader engaged. This book wrecked me, and made me think about how we choose to live with the consequences of our actions. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I‘m not ashamed to say that I woke my husband up by first laughing and later bawling 😭 over this book. It‘s, perhaps, more embarrassing to admit that I shook off his words of comfort so I could get back to the story. Poor guy! Great Book!! It‘s about the relationship between sisters, love, loss, jealousy and guilt. Mostly, it‘s about finding purpose in your own life, living in the present, forgiving yourself, and choosing to be happy. 4.5⭐️s!

FINALLY have some time to read! My two reading buddies are glad I‘m sitting for a bit, too. They usually don‘t tolerate each other except to wrestle, but the dog is actually letting the cat sit on top of her. 😂 I‘m really enjoying The Time Between. I didn‘t mean to start reading it, but got so intrigued when I bought it on discount that I took a peak at the first chapter, and, well...Now I‘ll just have to finish!

wanderinglynn How sweet! ❤️🐱❤️🐶 My dog & cat are the same way - normally they ignore each other, but every once in a while, they‘ll snuggle together. 6y
ReadZenRites Thanks @wanderinglynn 😊 I was lucky to get a picture while they were peaceful. They were up chasing each other around the coffee table only seconds later. 6y
DebinHawaii Adorable! 🐱❤️🐶 6y

Betty You scared me for a bit. I thought "oh no, Litsy is accepting sponsored ads like Facebook". Whew. 6y
Reecaspieces @Betty sorry....I was just trying to be informative 6y
Betty No problem. It just startled me because I'm so used to seeing "sponsored" ads on FB and Litsy has undergone some changes. 6y

TODAY'S PROMPT: FORGIVENESS

Karen White's books are always a favorite. This one was about trying to forgive yourself.

This book was absolutely wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, the lessons learned, and the book's comfortable pace.
