Wow, Just wow. I am not sure I can articulate how I feel about this book; my concern is I am afraid my review will not do this book any justice by my review. Lotus is a masterpiece, and Jennifer Hartman is now one of my favorite and go-to authors. I was anxious to find what would happen and didn't want the story to end.
Lotus is a impressive and beautiful book of a boy who was held captive while being brainwashed for twenty-two years and is now trying to acclimate into today’s society. Let me say how much I adore Oliver and how the author wrote his character. He is so intelligent and is underestimated by those who love him and never gave up hope. He touched my heart and soul. Sydney never gave up hope of losing her best friend and is afraid of losing him again. I love her quick wit, and I laughed so many times.
We read about the aftermath of trauma and the healing journey. It's far from smooth sailing, and their love story is so intense. The author has a way with her writing where I felt every single emotion and her storytelling is top notch. There are a few twists; I didn’t see them coming. It was nice to read cameos of past characters, and I look forward to furthering cameos and new characters. If you're looking for an emotional heart-touching novel, Lotus is a must-read for you.

I totally understand that because I just did it. I’m almost considering going back to the beginning to savor. 🤣

Debbie, do it, I always reread a great book. I see a reread for this book before the end of the year.

I cannot wait to read this! I'm trying to save it for the weekend because I have a feeling that once I start, I won't be able to start.
