ARC received for an honest review



That right there ^^ is what I took from reading Losing Faith.

Lacey Marone didn't just lost her best friend the night that Faith Kelly died. She lost her other best friend, she lost family, the lost the boy she loved.

But what she hasn't lost is her sense of purpose. As much as it has cost her, is still costing her, she won't give up until she finds what she is after.

Enter Quade - the one that got away. Well, ran away really. Right from the start you can feel that pull between Lacey and Quade, and you can't hope that they will make their way back to each other.

As the story continues, my heart hurt for both Lacey and Quade, knowing what we know and what they are after.

Lacey is so full of compassion, of love, of heartache. I just wanted to wrap her up in a big ol' hug.

I adore adore adore Lacey's parents, and in particular her dad, and I defy to you feel any different when you are reading.

There is a real sense of whodunnit running through Losing Faith. But Ms Ryder keeps us guessing right until the last minute to find out who does what.

I was drawn into the lives of the people of Runaway Beach. I laughed, I got sad, I smiled from ear to ear, I wanted to bitch slap people at different times in the story.

Thank you Ms Ryder for writing such a wonderful story.

Now off to read Seeking Faith.
