Bitter, indeed

The Bitter Truth

By Shanora Williams

There are no spoilers here (not really), so put the saran wrap and aluminum foil away. And if you are on a more health-conscious tip, put away the glass storage containers (generally me, but I do partake in the former). 

I enjoyed the overall experience of this book. The ending, though a more than generous display of a happy ending, wasn’t my favorite. Sometimes people get below their just due, and sometimes people ‘get away with it’. Throughout the story, I wanted every evildoer and their enabler(s) to pay with interest, yesterday. 

I will also say, take heed to the Prologue; every word is meant to prepare you for what you will read. If you proceed, don’t say Shanora didn’t warn you. 

The friendship in this book was felt on a deep level; having people travel life’s often raggedy journey with you is a treasure, and I so appreciated how the author did it here. I saw two people show love-in-action, when the world was more cruel than kind to them (and sometimes, a real friend is the only thing that gets you through it). 

Heed the prologue, and if you continue reading, I hope you enjoy the ride, because I did.
