The Resurrection Of Aubrey Miller by L.b. Simmons

Every once and a while a book comes a long and just completely blows me away. The Resurrection of Aubrey Miller was most definitely one of those books. This book had me laughing, crying, smiling only to have me cry and laugh all over again. At one point I was a complete blubbering mess and my husband came in and was like what's wrong and he looked down and saw I was reading and all he could do was shake his head like and look at me like I was some crazy woman who lost her mind. I did for a little bit this book had my emotions all over the place.

The emotions this book brought out in me was just insane. I almost felt like I was suffering from a bipolar episode with all the highs and lows. This author knows how to work peoples emotions. Raven was such a broken girl when the story started and it was a nice journey to watch her grow and become Aubrey again. I like how the author made her healing take four years. A lot of stories out there would have had it be quick, but realistic healing from what Aubrey has been through takes time and the author portrayed it so realistically. I am definitely glad I decided to give this book a try. Well worth the money and I can't wait to see what this author writes next.
