Synopsis:
Senna Richards a great renown writer wakes in a freezing place and she doesn't know where that is. The story it's a journey of emotions and she better throws every memory to find out who kidnapped her. It's a game and she has to play with the psycho to get out and recover her freedom. And that's all I can say without spoilers. Scroll down & share feelings with me.
Spoiler Section:
One of the things I like of Tarryn's books it's that I feel everything (other than her poetic, beautiful writing). I was hyperventilating with the mere thought of being kidnapped. Senna was freezing and alone and terrified and I swear that it was scaring me. In this book we go back and forth the present and the past (a technique I love and more if it comes from Tarryn Fisher). The first chapters are about her fear of being taken and the emotional shock of seeing a guy from her past: Isaac Asterholder.
She's trapped with the love of her life, even if she doesn't recognizes it, we can tell, and they both don't know who take them. Isaac's a married doctor and he hasn't seeing Senna for a very long time. She's a famous writer who doesn't know how to deal with life. She doesn't hear music with letters, only instrumental. Never goes out of her house, except for walking and running in the mornings.
The present interactions in the snow house with Isaac were melting my heart. The life she had was horrible. She thought nobody would give a f*ck if she was missing because she actually had no one in her life. The way Isaac and she met, was traumatizing and of course she was afraid of humanity. It's only natural and bound to happened.
They met when Senna was raped. She was running on this morning Christmas to clear her mind, she went through the woods and this psycho ruined her life. Isaac lived nearby and saw her running away from the woods, took her to the hospital and a weird routine was established. He went to her house to fed and take care of her. She's diagnosed with cancer shortly after she met Isaac and he practically force her to see a therapist. Of course she was heartbroken, and she blow away any chance of a relationship because she couldn't see past the bad.
Now, how could she know that he was going to improve her life if she only lived traumatizing things? She didn't know better. She was blind of the great things in life because she never experienced them before and couldn't recognize the beauty of it. And she's not the one to blame, she needed time to process everything.
They were so close of dying in that house. They were forced to acknowledge feelings and it was scary. They were wrecked physically and emotionally and when she finally realizes that what Isaac and her have/had was true-to-the-marrow love, they were "free to go". They end up in a hospital, the zookeeper was the therapist and she's in prison (later she kills herself). The therapist, Saphira Elgin kidnapped them to show Senna that it was more in life that just living. That it's hard but beautiful at the same time. Better if you filled it with love, but it was a sick way of showing her. She could just tell her and leave her alone if she didn't get it.
Anyhow, Senna finally knows that love exists and that life it's beautiful, but that doesn't mean that she would end up with the love of her life. He's married now and has a child and it would be wrong if she takes that away from him. She has cancer again and she leaves to see the world with her new eyes, while Isaac returns with his wife & child.
So, that's what life it's about folks. We live, we suffer but we have to know that it's only temporary. That life is more than hurt and loneliness. We have ourselves, we're never alone. We have this amazing world waiting to know about us, so take advantage of that. Don't ling on suffering, make something good with it. Like writing a blog about books, work hard, or travel or just be in love. Do what you love and love what you do. I will always have a place in my heart for this book, and if you read it, tell me in the comments the parts where you cried or what you love about it, and we see in another post. Byyye.
