Book Recommendation – What About The Bodies

Today’s book was one that I just happened upon while at the local library with the kids. The title peaked my interest. I read the synopsis and thought it sounded good. The book is What About the Bodies.

The author is a new one for me. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Before I go on, here is the Goodreads synopsis:

Carla, a single mom poised to finally break free from her cycle of poverty, must risk it all, including her morality, to help her son hide a terrible secret.

Reed, an autistic young man, sets out on a journey to keep a deathbed promise to the mother he just lost. Along the way he’ll encounter both kindhearted residents and a cold-blooded nemesis.

And Liz, an aspiring musician on the cusp of a breakthrough, needs to quickly come up with the cash she owes a brutal ex-con. If she can’t pay him, both her dream and her life will be in grave danger.

As these three compelling characters intersect, the novel ignites into a story filled with explosive twists, hair-raising chills, and boundless love.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a very quick read. I think it took me two days. Jaworowoski ended each chapter in a way that made me not want to put the book down. I love a book like that.

If I had to describe the book, I’d say that it was like merging onto the highway. You’ve got these three characters who all start off the book with their own issue and storyline. With each chapter, they get closer and closer to each other. You begin to see where one story and another connect. Finally, they all come together and intersect in a way that brings the book to a conclusion.

To a degree it was a mystery, but it was more of a suspenseful story that had me wanting more at the end of each chapter.

4 out of 5 stars
