Book Review: Minka Kent - When I Was You (published in 2020)

Book Minka Kent - When I Was You

I didn't need to think long about the rating for this book. I was on the fence for a while trying to decide which book to buy for January's Amazon First Reads, but I'm incredibly happy I picked this one. 

The reason I decided to buy it is because the first pages of the book read like something I might write if I would be a writer. There are sayings in here like "not my circus not my monkeys" and "everything will be OK in the end, if it's not OK it's not the end", these are my favourite phrases. 

To be honest, the description sounded like all my most hated tropes would pass the pages of this book. I'm happy to report that that's not the case at all. I won't elaborate on my tropes, because it might give you some clues towards the story. 

Let it suffice to say that the book is about Brienne, who finds out that someone else is living life as her. She then uncovers something that turns her world upside down. 

The book isn't perfect, because it drags a bit sometimes. The ending isn't all that satisfying either but to be honest the writer really captured me with her writing. I will definitely read more books by her in the future!

5 stars
