Our thoughts...

  

I loved this book just as much as the very first time I read it back in  2016 when it came out. I was just as emotional the second go round, I would be driving down the road crying and didn’t care. Written in the Scars is a book that pulls at your heart strings and will have you a blubbering mess. Trust me the journey is worth it. Make sure you go in blind and don’t read any spoilers. This will always be one of my favorite reads.  I loved hearing this story by these narrators. They brought the book to life in a new way. Once I start a good book I don’t want to stop. So being able to listen to it was perfect! I can’t recommend this book enough.
