Review: When I Close My Eyes

When I Close My Eyes by Elizabeth Musser
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

Another new-to-me author which delivered a strong, enjoyable contempered story focused on the difficult subject of depression and what true forgiveness means.

This story also makes one wonder what exactly you will be capable of doing, what lines you will cross, if you are desperate and in deep need.

I really enjoyed this story and will recommend it to fans of contemporary fiction.

About the book:

Famous author Josephine Bourdillon is in a coma, jumping across memory as her body fights to survive. But those around her are fighting their own battles: Henry Hughes, who agreed to kill her for hire out of desperation, is uncertain how to finish the job now, and her teenage daughter Paige is overwhelmed by fear. Can grace bring them all into the light?
