More Than We Can Tell by Brigid Kemmerer *REVIEW*

More Than We Can Tell

By Brigid Kemmerer

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for sending me an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

To start this off, I'm just going to say that Letters To The Lost was one of my top 5 favourite books that I read last year and when I found out it was getting a companion book I was so excited. When I got accepted for the arc I couldn't wait to read it. Now I've been in a reading slump for the past couple months but I read More Than We Can Tell in 2 days, which I haven't been able to do with any book since November, so if that doesn't say how good it was keep reading.

More Than We Can Tell is such a powerful book. It was heartbreaking at points where all I wanted to do was hug the characters and tell them it was going to be ok and then other points where it had me smiling at how these characters were able to overcome obstacles that most people wouldn't be able to come back or recover from. 

One thing I love about Kemmerer's writing is that she makes the characters feel real, they aren't just some words thrown together on a page, they are people. And they are broken and hurting and healing and I couldn't help but see little parts of myself in each of them.

There wasn't a single part of this book where I though it was slow or where I thought it dragged, in fact after reading all 400+ pages I wanted MORE. I didn't want my time with these characters to end and thats not something that usually happens to me. I felt a deep connection with each of the characters, even the side characters, and it was hard to see my time with them come to an end.

Overall, More Than We Can Tell took me on an emotional rollercoaster. It destroyed me, and broke my heart, and made me grieve for fictional people that I won't ever meet, but in the end, it also put me back together and gave me hope. This is a book that I won't soon forget. I can't say enough how much I recommend you pick this book up and read it for yourself.
