Just After Midnight

I swear there is no other author who writes about unlikely friendships quite as authentically as CRH does, many of her novels showcase new relationships between a young person and someone older but each new book sheds light on various themes and issues making them unique I don t often use the term page turner in WF but her books really are, once you enter the world she creates it s hard to step back into reality.This follows Faith, a woman who just left her husband and Sarah a young teenager wh [...]

A huge disappointment from a favourite author Seemed like a book suitable for young adults Hated the constant reference to the girl instead of using the girls name.

DisappointingAlthough her books are very formulaic and close to YA fiction , I have been a fan of Ms Hyde and have read eight of her books Perhaps it is because of the repetitive formula of each of her books that I have not really liked this one Perhaps it is just that I have read so many of them Or perhaps it is characteristics of this particular book as well as the difficult to believe aspects of her formula that makes it my least favorite But I think, on top of those factors, there we Disappo [...]

Just After Midnight is one of those stories that make you cry both tears of sorrow and of joy It tells a story about two people who struggle in this world and are still able to touch others Faith and Sarah s relationship is just one that you want to have I really liked the way the book told the story from just one point of view I love the message this novel relays to its readers That there is hope That given time, there can be change That ultimately, love reigns And that often, doing wha Just Af [...]
