The Words Between Us
by Erin Bartels
| -From Goodreads- A reclusive bookstore owner hoped she'd permanently buried her family's sensational past with a new name. But when the novels she once shared with an old crush begin appearing in the mail, it's clear her true identity is about to be revealed, threatening the new life she has painstakingly built. ISBN-13: 9780800734923 Her past and present are about to collide... You know, I really didn't know what to expect when I picked up The Words Between Us, Erin Bartels's second full-length novel. I hadn't read her first release but there was just something about the blurb and the cover, with all of those lovely books on it, that seemed to draw me in. In all honesty, I'm still digesting this book even now a day or two after finishing it. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I didn't like it because I really did like it. There was simply so much in there because The Words Between Us is NOT a shallow story. Erin Bartels dives deep into the heart of a teenager damaged by her family's choices and into the reclusive life her grownup self has chosen. |  This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.

The book does feature something of a dual timeline showing how intertwined the heroine's past and present are. I really liked how clearly delineated the timeline breaks were, marked by 'Then' and 'Now', which made the book a breeze to read. At the end of the book the heroine made some decisions that I felt weren't exactly realistic but they were perfect for the story and I wouldn't have had them any other way.
The Words Between Us is perfectly titled, it truly sums up the heart and soul of the story. Erin Bartels writes like a seasoned author, which, I really appreciated as a reader. I enjoyed this interesting book and the jaunt to the more scenic points of Michigan. If you enjoy contemporary fiction with a dash of suspense and a bit of romance this just might be the story for you...
