A pageturner that leaves you a wiser person
This is a powerful story about family, love and belonging. I adored reading it - partly because the story itself is so exciting (it's a compulsive page-turner, so make sure you have enough time as it's really hard to put down); but mostly because of HL Cherryholmes' expert analysis of the dynamics between the characters, and his innate sense of structure.
A compelling story of sibling love
i loved this book and could not put it down. the characters are so well drawn that you could stop reading the novel and come back to it months later and still be enthralled with all the players. the synchronicity between the siblings and their actions, as well as the love (and conflicts) between the individuals is heart warming yet sometimes brutal. the title says it all: "Come Back for Me" to solve the mysteries and purpose of our lives. Bravo!!
