E Journey

I enjoyed the stories. The author made me feel as though I were in Paris in the first two. I have never been there but France has been a dream spot. When I was a girl I had a French pen pal. I loved her. She was awesome. The photos she shared of her home were incredible. It was when I fell in love with France, though not Paris. I have imagined Paris to be somewhat like the big cities here in the States. I don't love them either. But it was interesting to read of the author's Paris. If I make it to France, I may have to take a day or two for Paris.

The third story, Dylan's, was amazing for me. I wondered if I would have read the found journal. Maybe not before but after reading this story, possibly. The journal was like looking in a mirror. The entries were filled with my questions and feelings.

With Emmy I recalled my dad's heart surgery and recovery. With Dinah I had a deep sadness that turned chilling. It is a short story and I need to know Dinah made it okay. It speaks volumes of the author's writing skills that they can make care so much with so little. Then came Augusto and I knew the three were destined for horror. What followed was harrowing.

Then we come to the final story set in Hawaii. Another dream place I have never been. As I read each story I thought about how I enjoyed it. Each one becoming my favorite until the last. Usually I go back and pick which one is really my favorite, after letting the taste of each settle. But this time, I know it will not change. This is my favorite. The one I want to return to.

This book of short stories touched me deeply. The stories, the people have stayed with me. I actually finished the book the day after I got it. I just wanted to savor the stories. I wanted to see how the held up in the days after since each left me with strong feelings. The feelings haven't changed. I see the titles and am able to recall not just the tale but those feelings. This book is on Kindle, an electronic book. I see books all the time that are hard copies not available on Kindle and there is a link to click to say, "I want this on Kindle." For this book I want a link to say, " I want this in paper copy. It has touched me so that I want it on my shelf where I can see it, touch it, smell the pages and visit with it like a well loved friend." Unfortunately, there is no link for that. If you are thinking of getting this book, I encourage you. I hope it will touch you as much as it does me. It is a beautiful book.
