This book was good, I enjoyed it overall. I really liked the era it was set in. Definitely worth the read!

This is my first book by this author. I enjoyed this emotionally dark story, it took me on a ride. The connect ability of the characters is what brought this story alive. Can’t wait to see what’s next from this author.

I enjoyed this emotional dark story. This is a new author for me and I cant wait to see what is next for her. This is a well developed story that has attention to details that made the story feel realistic. This is a story that is written with alot of emotion and heart. The characters are connectable and brought the story to life. Sylvie thinks the way to change her past is to become a good peaceful person. Is she right or wrong in her thinking? As she fights her demons from her past childhood, it leads her down a dark path. What happens to her next, I highly recommend reading this book. I am glad I picked up this book and I think you will too. It is a story of one woman's life and her fight for survival. Will she find herself, read this book to find out.

Thank you Net Galley for allowing me to read this book for an honest review. Unfortunately this was just not the book for me. It sounded good and I tried to finish but just couldn’t get into it. DNF

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
While the book's description sounded good to me, I had a hard time getting into the story and had to read it in short stints. I can't quite put my finger on why but part of it was that I didn't feel strongly about any of the characters. Overall, it's not a bad book. And maybe I'll give it another try in the future.

Sylvie Denied

This is my first book by this author. Sylvie is a young woman.
Set in the 1960-1970s this is about a women finding her own way and coming of age. Sylvie is trying to change a man Enzo after discovering his dark side. When this behaviour starts to negatively affect her and her daughters life she takes action. The lead up to the main grit of the story is very well written and gets you engaged with the characters as you can emphasis with them. I found her relationship with her dad well written and not what I expected. Going through all the different times with Sylvie I felt as though I was looking through her eyes.
