I was given this book in exchange for an honest review
Where the pink houses are is a story about 2 women who lost their husbands and are learning how to heal from their heartbreaking loss. Brenna and her MIL Anna travel to Ireland in their effort to heal their hearts. It turns out to be a life changing experience and an amazing journey for them both. For Anna is it a story of coming home. For Brenna it is more of discovering her home.
Most of the story is Brenna’s and how she moved on from losing her husband at such an early age. She begins to really come into herself throughout the story and it was amazing to watch her grow and change.
Brenna decides to get out and work and meet people and fun enough she really starts to come out of her shell and develop her adult self. She makes friends and an enemy or two as well. She starts attending the local church and is amazed to find she wants to develop her spiritual self as well.
This story is a romance story, but it is also a well written lesson as well. There is talk about god and church, but it is not so overwhelming that you are put off from it. Mostly it’s sweet to see how during a dark time getting closer to your spiritual self can actually help you through it and help you to grow from it.
I LOVED this story; it was an amazing love story without the bedroom stuff. I believe the greatest love stories don’t need to be all about the intimate stuff and this author proves that. This is a great story for young adults and as a mature audience, it was written in a way that both can read and enjoy it.
5 stars
