Torn Together

For the past few years i have engrossed myself in the YA and paranormal book world. Prior to, and at times, during, these few years i have also loved adult suspense/mystery/thriller books. One category I never delved into was Women’s Lit Fic. I can honestly say that I never had any interest in the genre. What made me pick up Torn Together? It was the amazing writing style of the author. Previously, I read Emlyn’s Farsighted series and there was no way I wouldn’t give this novel a go. It was well worth the read! Emlyn has such an extraordinary talent for imagery that i “saw” this book rather than read it. Daly is a woman who, at a young age, lost her father. Her mother, Laine, is so grief-stricken that she emotionally abandons Daly at the time she needed her most. Just when Daly felt that things would never get better she meets Kashi, a handsome and charming man, things start to pick up. Together, they share a whirlwind romance, travel to his home country of India, and face the biggest test of their relationship. Along with Daly, Laine, and Kashi are a few other colorful characters that have a big impact on all of their lives. Without giving out any spoilers, from beginning to end, i ran the gamut of emotions. I laughed, cried, laughed harder, and cried harder. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and want to say thank you, Emlyn, for taking what you know and telling us your story.
