Book Review: "What Became of Us" By Anna Mansell



Perfect title, perfect cover, perfect book!

This was one of those tear jerkers that appeared like an ocean, swept us out to sea, and then came back for the tidal wave that nobody expected.

These gifts to Lisa's young 5 yo daughter (Poppy) was just the beginning of a bizarre scenario.

Who would send such thoughtful items and not want seek acknowledgement?

Could this be a nut case, a stalker, a personal vendetta, or is this someone from the past coming to visit?

So, many scenarios as it could be anyone -the ex boyfriend left when she was pregnant at 16 yo and the father was quite the authority.

The mother had passed in a car accident without much being made of her death or the certificate at the time.

The hardships as a single mom, the parental and biological concerns, the medical scenarios that entered created one swirl of a tornado.

The eye of the storm was so intriguing as it was this second half that came to life with another freak accident and yet another near death casualty.

This time it was Poppy clinging to life but would she overcome this coma and live out her young life or would she succumb just like Lisa's mother?

So many twisters that you have to watch for the debris left behind and the broken pieces that went unclaimed.

What's worth noting is that Kleenex will be kept in business with this one.

Thank you to Anna, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
