He Should Have Told the Bees by Amanda CoxMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow!! This book had me at the first chapter. It was an amazing book by Amanda Cox. I have read her other books The Edge of Belonging, and The Secret Keepers of Old Grocery. Both were exceptional. This is the third book she wrote, but they are all stand alone books. I love her writing style. it completely draws me and and the characters are so real.
This book was nothing short of excellent. I read it over two days. There was a passage in it that really hit a raw nerve in me - in a very good way. It described something about myself that I never realized.
The book grabs at your soul. There is a lot of sacrifice and learning to trust between the characters stories. I was so invested in the lives of Beck and Callie. I was torn between the two sides and angry at other characters. I won't explain that as I want no spoilers.
My heart broke reading parts of this story and was slowly put back together as it went on. It was a true roller coaster of emotions as I read it. I experienced so many emotions - confusion, anger, contempt, worry, suspense, hope, happiness - and not in any order. It was a wonderful read and I have ordered another Amanda Cox book because I simply cannot stop reading them. She is an amazing storyteller.
