Synopsis:
“Finding Willow” is the prequel to “Unspeakable,” the touching romance between Brody and Willow that explores one girl’s quiet strength to survive the unbearable weight of a family secret alone, and the love and resolve of a boy determined to help her.
Brody Victor lives life on the fringes. Moving from school to school with each transfer his mother’s job requires has taught Brody well: If there’s one thing harder than making friends, it’s saying goodbye to them. So he’s learned to close himself off. He’s a loner, and that’s how he likes it.
When his mother accepts a permanent position in Wisconsin, Brody begins to slowly open up. But old habits die hard and, for Brody, making friends doesn’t come easily. That is, until he meets Annabelle. Brody loses himself in her. Their connection runs deep and, for the first time, Brody truly lets someone inside. But life can be cruel. An unexpected job transfer uproots Brody from his home in Wisconsin, and Annabelle.
Vowing not to get involved with another girl after the heartbreak of losing Annabelle, Brody returns to life on the outside looking in. A loner by choice. Until the night he finds Willow. Friendly and beautiful, a guy can’t help but notice her, but Brody notices more than her beauty. When she flashes her full smile, a spark is missing from her hazel eyes and for reasons unknown to him, Brody needs to find the reason.
Along the way, he stumbles across a secret bigger than both of them

Finding Willow is a short prequel to Pickett’s book
Unspeakable. In this story we get to peer into Brody’s life and see what makes
him tick. He moves around a lot and doesn’t want to give up his heart again. There
is something about Willow that will have Brody second guessing that rule.
You find out how great of a character Brody is based on his
interaction with Annabelle. He was supposed to go out with her once because of
a bet, but sees that there is more to her than her nerdy glasses.
Pickett writes a great story. Her characters are memorable
and her writing flows easily. I was sad once I got to the end because I wanted
more. I cannot wait to read Unspeakable.
5 out of 5 Stars!!!

Thank you so much for posting a review of "Finding Willow." I know it was a short piece, giving just a glimpse of Brody's life before "Unspeakable," but I think once you read "Unspeakable" you'll see how it all falls together.
ReplyDeleteThis series is one very close to my heart and I hope that shows through my writing. I'm so glad you are looking forward to reading "Unspeakable." I'm excited and nervous at the same time for the big release date.
