A Sky Full of Love: A Novel

The category is pissed because this book PMO so bad! I really enjoyed SFOL, but had a tug of war conflict of emotions with it. Nova has been held captive for 15 years. 15 years trapped, away from her family, fighting for her life. She has just been found and reconnected with her family, which includes her mother, teenage daughter who she last saw when she was only 2, her sister, Leah, and husband, Quintin, who are now happily married. Yep, they f’d around and found solace in each other. This was a great story, full of heart, family connections and forgiveness. It had me wondering, is there an acceptable time period that makes it ok to marry your sibling’s spouse? ((No)) Both sisters had endured tough times, but why was it easy to sympathize with one and not the other? The story was a bit predictable. My unforgiving heart made me want things to work out in a completely different way. I knew that with the theme of forgiveness things would wrap up peachy keen, but I felt like the breakdown in relationships was far too quick and easy to move on from. I guess when you’ve escaped the worst nightmare you really don’t want more problems, but … no. It’s upsetting me and my homegirls that Leah didn’t get drug and dog walked. I wanted Nova to pack up and get the hell out of dodge leaving all those traitors behind. Start some place fresh and new. That should’ve happened before the healing began, but I guess these characters were more mature than I am. I loved seeing Nova work through her fears while reacclimating to society, family and community when everything was so different and so much had changed. I wish the entire story was devoted to Nova because I hated Leah and felt no empathy for her, or Quinton. They couldve ruined the story for me, but I was too invested in Nova’s journey and second chance at life. I highly recommend this read; it is angsty, agonizing, infuriating and would be PERFECT for discussion. I feel fans of Rhonda McKnight’s books would love it!! I read it originally in July, but glad to read and discuss with the booksta book club. The narrators truly complemented the story! I always love hearing new voices bringing stories to
