Beyond Molasses Creek by Nicole Seitz book review

«Three lives are bound by a single book…

and the cleansing waters of Molasses Creek.»

If I must be honest, this was the sentence that made me chose this book to review. It got me intrigued over how the story would end, and make a single sentence do that is not an easy job, and Nicole Seitz rocked at it.

Ally Green spent the last years traveling the world, but now that her father joined her mother in death, she finally returns to her hometown, to bury her father and her past. But the reason why she’s stayed away so long, and her best friend, Vesey Washington, is still there, just across the creek. When Ally founds a message from her father asking her to let go with her past, it seems it isn’t through with her yet.

On the other side of the world, a young woman escapes her prison of rock, in a quarry in Nepal, and, with a strange and mysterious sketchbook in hand, she will walk miles, following the truth wherever it leads her.

That is basically what it says on the back of the book, and as soon as I read it for the first time I knew I would love this book... and I did.

It is beautifully written, with some irony in the mix. I didn't really know what the book was about, and I was excited about that. I always loved books that leave me wondering how it's going to end, until I read it like I drink water in the summer!

I really couldn't put the book down, and for a person like me, that's a huge achievement.

This was the first book by Nicole Seitz that I read, and I'll certainly read a lot more when I have the chance, because when you cry and laugh because of a book, you know that's a good book!
