Many thanks to my friends at @stmartinspress and @macmillan.audio for the #gifted copies of this books. 

There’s no greater power than that of a good read. 

They change hearts. They touch souls. They make us feel less alone. They make us feel seen. They give us hope. They challenge. They soothe. 

Books enrich our lives. 

In Bauermeister’s No Two Person’s we see this play out in ten unique vignettes. 

One writer. Her own soul longing for a release. Nine readers. All so different. All in need. And it’s the written word that fulfills. Ten lives impacted by mere words and pages. 

In her latest release, Bauermeister reaches out to the core of book lovers everywhere with her messaging on the power of the written word. Dare I say, every reader will see him/herself within some aspect of this story. And in such, No Two Persons becomes not only a reminder of why we love reading, but a champion of the power found within a book. 

While the messaging was on point, I went into this expecting a novel. And a novel, it is not. Instead, this is a collection of short stories connected through messaging. It is a quality collection. It’s well written with uniquely drawn characters. 

BUT. It lacked the overall cohesiveness and depth that I yearn for, which is why I tend to shy away from short stories in general. 

Moral of the situation… go into this one knowing it is a set of short stories, and then be charmed by the messaging. 

🎧 This is performed by a full cast, which allowed each individual story to uniquely portray each section’s main character, allowing the entire collection to come alive in a dynamic way.🎧 This is performed by a full cast, which allowed each individual story to uniquely portray each section’s main character, allowing the entire collection to come alive in a dynamic way.
