"Library of Lost Things is an adult coming of age story. Martha gave up everything she was to care for her parents. A couple years after their deaths, she cannot say no to others. Her house is full of projects she has promised to complete for others. Her entire identity is in how she helps others.
Then a delivery starts Martha on her quest to find herself.
A bit slow, but worth the read"
"Pros:<br/><br/>There was a ton of character growth and development as we watch the results of toxic behaviors and their effects on an entire family. Seeing them overcome everything that happened is inspiring!<br/><br/>Cons:<br/><br/>I had a bit of trouble getting into this book at first. It could be that I was listening on audio and not giving it my complete attention and didn’t initially know it was dual point of view."
"I knew almost the second I read this synopsis back on release that I was going to love this book... Unfortunately it has taken me almost two years to confirm this. I am so happy to have finally read this and loooooved it. It was so touching and whimsical. I loved the way the story is told about one story line but really it's a voice of all the women in this story. It's just beautiful. 5 stars."
