The Words Between Us by Erin Bartels

My Rating: 4.9

Robin has spent most of her life running from her past. She thought she'd finally found sanctuary in her rather unremarkable used bookstore just up the street from the marina in River City, Michigan. But the store is struggling and the past is hot on her heels. 


This book opens with "Now" when Robin wakes up on the day her Father is sentenced to be executed and unfolds from there. It flashes back to "Then" when she is a teenager and she has to move in with her Grandmother and her feisty parrot "The Professor". I thought the writing was beautiful without being ostentatious or distracting. The perfect pitch was hit between feeling for Robin and also wondering what had/was going on. Fabulous read. I also loved this author's last book We Hope For Better Things. Erin - you need to write faster!
