    Seven Perfect Things #Review

     


    Description

    A heart-stirring novel about the joy that comes from finding love in unexpected places by the New York Times and #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author.

    Thirteen-year-old Abby Hubble lives in an unhappy home in the Sierra Nevada foothills where her father makes life miserable for her and her mother, Mary. One day Abby witnesses a man dump a litter of puppies into the nearby river. Diving in to rescue all seven, she knows she won’t be able to bring them home. Afraid for their fate at the pound, she takes them to an abandoned cabin, where all she can offer is a promise that she’ll be back the next day.

    To grieving widower Elliot Colvin, life has lost meaning. Looking for solace, he retreats to the hunting cabin he last visited years ago, before his wife’s illness. What he discovers is not at all what he expected: seven puppies and one determined girl with an indomitable heart.

    As Abby and Elliot’s friendship deepens, Abby imagines how much better her life—and the puppies’ lives—would be if her mother were married to Elliot instead of her father. But when Abby’s father moves the family hundreds of miles away, Abby and her mother must decide how long they’re willing to defer happiness.

    Seven Perfect Things is a story about joy, where to find it, how to know it when you see it, and the courage it takes to hang on to it once you have it.

    Review

    I love this author's writing and when I read this synopsis I knew I would love the book and I wasn't wrong.

    The friendship story between Abby, Elliot and Mary touched my heart. The way they get closer thanks to the puppies, the way each one gains the other's trust.

    Catherine Ryan Hyde has a way of writing that always makes me enter the story and feel the pain of the characters, makes me root for their cures and want to have them close to me always.

    The puppies are so cute and striking and I loved Abby's tip so much on how to go about getting together with them to feel happy.

    The ending left my heart light and full of hope.
    5/5 stars



    Resenha

    Eu amo a escrita desta autora e quando li a sinopse sabia que iria amor e não me enganei.
    A história de amizade entre Abby, Elliot e Mary tocou fundo no meu coração. A forma como eles se aproximam graças aos cahorrinhos, a forma como cada um vai conquistando a confiança do outro.

    Catherine Ryan Hyde tem uma forma de escrever que sempre me faz entrar na história e sentir a dor dos persoangens, me faz torcer por suas curas e querer tê-los perto de mim sempre.

    Os cachorrinhos são tão fofos e marcantes e amei demais q dica de Abby sobre como proceder para conseguir juntos com eles se sentir feliz.

    O final deixou meu coração leve e cheio de esperança.
    5/5 estrelas
