Bookapotamus (289 KP) rated Tin Man in Books

I wanted to love this so much - and I did, in a way. The story is so sad to me. Wishing we knew now what we knew then, and how far we still have to go. This is like a love triangle that works, but it doesn't. And I can't help but think how often unsaid things, create such chasms between friends, and lovers. So unnecessary, and so sad.
Ellis, Annie and Michael have such an exquisite love story - and so many unanswered questions between them. This story is short, but powerful, and a lot of those questions are answered as we go through it. Sadly, there is so much love, but also so much loss. It's heartbreaking what they all endure.
I loved getting into Dora's story in the beginning - she was such an interesting character - but after that I struggled to get into it - finally really feeling like I was engaged in the story mid-way with Michael. But I coulnd't follow the writing style very well.... like they were these snippets of thoughts, run of mouth words, memories, flashes... I had trouble connecting the timelines and often found myself re-reading to stay engaged.
I love the descriptiveness of surroundings, and feelings, and characters (the sunflowers a character alone! and there was a lot of swimming.... I wonder what that signifies?), and the ending was so beautifully poetic. I just really wanted more story, more things happening.
Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book.

Truly emotional journey
I cried during this game, a truly emotional story with simple graphics. The story of a world where people can grant anyone dreams by altering their memories, one old man’a dream is to go to the moon. As you investigate his past and see his memories, the truly emotional story has you gripped the entire time, having you fall in love with these simple, RPG designed characters.
I genuinely cried near the end up this. Got a beautiful story, amazing soundtrack and fantastic characters I would truly recommend this as a story. Easily an enjoyable 5 hours.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. This book was a story of Brady a single dad who has to deal with issues in his past and present with his son. And Hope who has some issues of a lost love and fear to love and let someone love her . This story shows love, friendship, trust, and hope between Hope and Brady. They both work together and come up with a plan to help save Brady from losing his son. They both have scars they need work pass within themselves. I enjoyed reading this book because the characters are easy to like and in the previous book they are introduced so you know a little of their story. Denise Hunter does a great job of mixing fiction writing into lessons that some people may need to hear about fear and how God always has our backs.
