For the past five years, Hayley Kincaid and her father, Andy, have been on the road, never staying long in one place as he struggles to escape the demons that have tortured him since his return from Iraq. Now they are back in the town where he grew up so Hayley can attend school. Perhaps, for the first time, Hayley can have a normal life, put aside her own painful memories, even have a relationship with Finn, the hot guy who obviously likes her but is hiding secrets of his own.
Will being back home help Andy’s PTSD, or will his terrible memories drag him to the edge of hell, and drugs push him over? The Impossible Knife of Memory is Laurie Halse Anderson at her finest: compelling, surprising, and impossible to put down.
Why I'm Wishing...
I've read Speak by the author and thought it was good and I've been curious to try out more of her work. So this one caught my eye.

I really do want to read this one! I've only read Speak and Wintergirls by this author, but LOVED them both. She writes some amazing contemporary novels.

I've not heard of this one. This one sounds very intense, but I might give this one a chance.

Oh, wow. This sounds really good and heartbreaking at the same time. One of my dear friends suffers from PTSD after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, so this is really intriguing to me. Thanks for sharing Janina!

I've heard great things about this author but haven't read any of her books. I heard they pack quite an emotional punch and this one sounds the same. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteHope you will enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI still haven't read Speak but I keep meaning to pick it up.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it's going to be an intriguing and emotional read. I think I'll have to add it to my TBR because I want to know what's going to happen now.

Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
I've read her novel Wintergirls and thought it was incredibly well-written and painful to read. I'll definitely consider whatever else she writes because she tackles tough issues in a very realistic and relatable way.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
