*My Thoughts*
Note: This review contains NO spoilers
Hmmmm... 🤔 After reading the last page, I am still in deep thought and still whirling with emotions. I have read a few of Anna Gomez's books, even the ones under her pen name Christine Brae, and every book delivered thought provoking stories of love, loss, and self-discovery. Somewhere Along the Way is no different. Anna Gomez has again delivered an emotional and moving story of loss, grief, family, and love.
Somewhere Along the Way took me on Charlie's journey of grieving and learning more about who she is after the loss of her father and learning the secret her father kept of her mother. As I continued reading, the emotional turmoil that Charlie endured was felt deep inside, so much so that I teared up and needed a box of tissue. 😢 Of course, Anna Gomez can't just have one character with complicated and emotional situations. Hence, she introduced Graham, who happens to cross paths with Charlie. He, too, has his own secrets and inner-demons he kept. As these two characters continue on their travels, they learn of each other, and begin to understand each other, even fall in love, during their time together.
Sometimes, you have to get away from everything and everyone when you're grieving. But, for Charlie, she wasn't just grieving, she had to rediscover herself after the life changing event(s) in her life. Along the way, love is found unexpectedly and not necessarily wanted during that moment in her life. Anna Gomez has written a beautifully and emotionally charged story that compelled these characters to face these obstacles in their lives.
Moreover, Somewhere Along the Way is a beautifully written story that deals with emotionally and mentally deep issues that many can relate to, in one way or another. But, I can guarantee that by the end of the book, tears will be falling. I, myself, took a while to finally stop the tears.
