The forgetting time by Sharon Guskin.

The forgetting time by Sharon Guskin.



Noah is four and wants to go home. The only trouble is he's already there.
Janie's son is her world, and it breaks her heart that he has nightmares. That he's terrified of water. That he sometimes pushes her away and screams that he wants his real mother. That it's getting worse and worse, and no one seems to be able to help.
In desperation, she turns to someone who might have an answer - but it may not be one she's ready to hear. It may also mean losing the one thing she loves more than anything: Noah.
A novel that spans life, death and everything in between, The Forgetting Time tells an unforgettable story - about Noah, about love, and, above all, about the things we hold on to when we have nothing else.


✮ ✮ 

The storyline of this book has always been a huge interest of mine so when the cover caught my eye (in my local Tesco 😉) and I read what it was about I had to get it!



To start this book was told like 2 different stories, at first I didn’t understand why this was done in this way until a little later into the book, it didn’t take too long to understand why it was done in the way but just long enough to make you think and/or question why it was written like that.


This book gives you so much detail into the topic that it is based on and for me personally I didn’t have any questions that were left unanswered which defiantly does give this book plus points. 😊

For me it was also an emotional read, I honestly cannot imagine having a child that can remember a previous life, having another mother, another home and asking to go back to that life just must be heart-breaking! It was so emotional to read so to have to live through that must be awful I just cannot imagine!

The amount of detail this book goes into you can really tell that the author had done a lot of research to get the details/facts 100% correct. The story is fantastically written and is defiantly an amazing read!  

And finally to finish off this review….. I am so happy I did pick this book up as it’s not my normal book, I am so glad the cover was so pretty that it caught my eye, I absolutely loved this and its one of them books I am keeping on my bookshelf as I know I will defiantly be reading this again in the future.

If you do get this book I hope you enjoy it and leave me a comment saying what you thought.

My rating is: ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮  

(5 stars)



Thank you for reading.

Ji-woo dreams of becoming a writer and is back in college giving it a second shot. But then Weon-gyu, her first love, comes back into her new life. Will she give up on her dreams or will she write them a happy ending? So… this book is a nice short read, something nice and easy to pick up. I read this on holiday and I wanted something that I could get stuck into but something that wasn’t going to take all my time up if I got stuck into it and to be honest this book did just that I actually finished it in 2 nights. For me personally, I would have liked a bit more background on the characters that are in the book so we could relate to them a bit more. I liked how to story is about a love you once had can turn up at ...

Grace after Henry by Eithne Shortall - Blog tour.

Grace after Henry by Eithne Shortall.   Grace sees her boyfriend Henry everywhere. In the supermarket, on the street, at the graveyard. Only Henry is dead. He died two months earlier, leaving a huge hole in Grace's life and in her heart. But then Henry turns up to fix the boiler one evening, and Grace can't decide if she's hallucinating or has suddenly developed psychic powers.

A monster calls by Patrick Ness - Review

A monster calls. By Patrick Ness The bestselling novel about love, loss and hope from the twice Carnegie Medal-winning Patrick Ness, soon to be a major motion picture. Conor has the same dream every night, ever since his mother first fell ill, ever since she started the treatments that don't quite seem to be working. But tonight is different. Tonight, when he wakes, there's a visitor at his window. It’s ancient, elemental, a force of nature. And it wants the most dangerous thing of all from Conor. It wants the truth. Patrick Ness takes the final idea of the late, award-winning writer Siobhan Dowd and weaves an extraordinary and heart-breaking tale of mischief, healing and above all, the courage it takes to survive. Me and my very good friend A little ray of sunshine decided that we were going to do a read along together with this book, so we set up the date that we was going to start and we set 1 chapter per day as we weren't sure about time due to ...
