This is one of those books.

One of those books that pulls out every damn emotion.

One of those books that keeps you reflecting on its theme and characters hours after finishing it.

One of those books that feels so true to the traumas so many women face.

One of those books that dives into and explores the aftermath of abuse and trauma.

And one of those books that gives you hope.

I suspect this will also be one of those books that changes someone's life, anyone's life, who needs to believe that they're worthy of love again and that the man hurting them ain't it.

This is by far Laura Lee's most emotional read. This isn't just a book about a second chance at love and happiness--although, boy does Beckett give us that; it's a book about overcoming, of healing, of facing the demons day after day and learning that there are people you can rely on to help you through it all. It shows how hardship brings people closer together, helps them bond and relate to each other. From a psychological standpoint, this book is it. Laura didn't shy away from the raw human experiences and complexity of emotions and behaviors, and as a result, her characters and theme are so full of depth. There are a multitude of external and internal obstacles her characters face throughout, but Laura skillfully wove in those moments of hope and small victories.

Gah. I'm trying to express the emotional impact this book had on me without giving spoilers-not an easy thing to do because I'm dying to talk to someone about Beckett and Presley. Hahaha. That man is easily one of my top three book boyfriends, and I'm pretty selective about who gets those spots, and Presley is so strong and relatable.

I was hooked from the first sentence of Redemption, and I love that Laura Lee didn't waste any time putting the plot in motion. From the first scene, we're introduced to Presley in one of her lowest and most heartbreaking moments. If you don't empathize with her and root for her after the first scene, see a psychiatrist because you might be a sociopath/psychopath.
