Underneath The Sycamore Tree was an interesting read. It kept my attention from start to finish. Even though I knew how it would end from the very beginning I still hoped for something different for Emery. I still enjoyed her journey despite it all. I loved how the author brought chronic illness to light. This book was not the easiest to read but I’m glad I read it. It packed an emotional punch. This is my first book by this author and I’m definitely interested in reading more of her work.

I read this back in 2019 and I thoroughly enjoyed it the second time around. I do wish the cover were a bit more representative of what the novel is about.

This book was heartbreaking but so good. I read it in one sitting and cried pretty much the entire time. I don’t typically love books that make me cry very much but the writing, story, and characters were incredible. All of Emery’s pain felt so real and the discussion of people not always believing that invisible diseases are real was very important.

I would highly recommend reading this if you’re ready to sob and be sad.
