This was a brilliant read. As soon as I started reading this book I just knew I was going to love it. Highly recommended

Three people, three different stories.

The book follows the lives of three separate people, each one of them with a painful past and striving to change their lives, or regain what was lost. But these people have things that connect them, and, eventually, their lives will get tangled together.

The Kindness of Strangers is a very well written book that comes slowly, but surely, together. Even though the reader wonders, at first, what these people have in common, the author manages to connect everything in a very clever way later on, creating a very interesting and moving story.

3.5 stars

This book was well written but I had a hard time connecting with all of the characters. Don't get me wrong, they experienced some very real issues that I feel need to be addressed more. I was trying to step out of my comfort box in terms on crime and humanity books and it didn't sit right. That said, I did appreciate the character building and balance of all three characters. The perceived notion of kindness and how us humans perform it really spoke to me as someone coming from an interpersonal communication background.

Thanks NetGalley for letting me read this and leave an honest review

I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley for an honest review.

Yikes. The last third of the book was totally unexpected--Helen was identifiable and sympathetic until then.

Great read.
