Review:
As I already mentioned in a previous post, I'm absolutely in love with this cover! I love the calming colours and it's compelling simplicity.
'Broken Jar Of Memories' is Jamie Summer's second book and I'm absolutely spellbound by this story! I already loved Jamie's writing style in her book 'Dalysian Hope' as her writing style is absolutely thrilling, full of action and surprises and you won't find one single scene, which is boring or dull. I'm usually not so much into this genre but I couldn't put it down for just one second and have read it completely on Sunday.
I have felt so many emotions while I've been reading, it's been overwhelming. I've felt sad, scared like hell, angry, frustrated and full of love.
After approx. one third of the book, I thought that I know exactly, who is responsible for June ending up in this hospital room. But Jamie took me definitely by surprise! She fooled me completely for a long time as it took me about three quarters of the book to finally figure out, who the bad guy really is.
The main characters Skylar and June are amazing. They have great personalities and they show the reader what is really important in life. The people you love. You could just wish for a bigger sister, who is like Skylar. She has a stunning character, is caring and loving and would never let anyone down, whom she loves.
And even if June can't remember a thing about her past, her heart remembers Skylar from the second she enters June's hospital room.
June lives the worst scenario somebody could imagine but she is surrounded by her loving family to help her in every possible way. You will also meet Chrissy - June's best friend - while reading. June and Chrissy are the complete opposite of each other but they are a perfect team.
That's the way how friendship and family should always be. Nowadays family and friends are pushed more and more to the background of our lives but they should always be the most important part in our lives. And you can't tell the people, who a dear to you often enough how much you love them.
That's the message, I got out from reading this extremely emotional book.
I also got the following message because of reading this book: Live every day exactly how you want to live and without regretting anything!
I have spilled so many tears while reading 'Broken Jar Of Memories', you could say I sobbed like a little girl. But as a mum of 2 adorable kids and with a great imagination mixed with Jamie's thrilling and detailed writing style, I could comprehend easily how everyone in this story felt.
I still can't get this story out of my head and I have the feeling, I will never forget it. 'Broken Jar Of Memories' is definitely a 'must read' and an absolute highlight! If you want to read a grandiose story, you need to get your fingers on 'Broken Jar Of Memories' for sure. But make sure, that you have a huge amount of tissues available <3
