Forgotten April

I thought this book wasnt a easy read and I got a little confused (but I get confused a lot anyways lol ) .This story kinda bounces around but other than that this was a good read. Storyline and characters were great. This is not the usual kind of book I would read but it was very good.

I received a complimentary copy of this book in return for my review. I had a hard time at the beginning keeping up with the different characters but once I to into it, I could not put it down. I liked that this was told by different characters. It was a heart warming story of connecting with lost loves and finding a family you have been wanting your whole life. I definitely hope to read more from this author!

It took me a few chapters to get into the book

Robyn does an excellent job of keeping the reader glued as she goes from character to character from the point of view of each one. As a reader you wind up rooting for everyone in the story, and thats a rarity. Its a great read.

I thoroughly enjoyed Forgotten April by Robyn Bradley. I am always looking for new authors with a great writing style. Bradley does a very good job of introducing the characters in an honest way - I appreciate the idea that April and her newly found sister are not perfect. They each have their own life issues that many of us can relate to. Lost love, death and an ailing mother with Alzheimers are shared with the reader in a way that makes you want to know more about each character. I enjoyed the buidling of trust and new relationships in this book and the idea that although we have all made mistakes, its never too late to build a relationship with our family. After all, we cant choose our family but we can choose how we relate to each other. I would look forwad to reading more books from Bradley. I received this book from Bookrooster.com at no charge to review.

I really enjoy reading new authors & KINDLE always gets me hooked! Read this story and you will be back for more. Kudos to KINDLE.

Forgotten April was one of the most clear-headed and fascinating works of fiction Ive read in years, and stands out as exceptionally well-written and poignantly conceived.

Loved this book. The characters are beautifully developed and after reading about 20 pgs, I was totally hooked. Read it in two nights, staying up until wee hours to see how it ended. Will buy lots more titles by Bradley. Great summertime read because its smart but also fast-paced and fun.

I liked this book. I liked the way the author wrote about different people and what was going on in their lives. At times the book moved a little slow, but honestly I could not put it down wanting so bad to know the secrets in Nigel, Maggie, Hazel, and most of all Aprils life. I think you will enjoy this book, and I recommend it for all that like stories about families and their treasured secrets.

I didnt think Id like this novel very much. I thought it was a romance novel. I was given a complimentary copy for review, and I felt an obligation to try to read it to the end and give a fair assessment minus my bias. My main genre is historical novels, with a second in slice-of-life vignettes, and I find Im hit or miss with contemporary romances, usually miss by a mile. I prefer romance that is secondary to the story. What a nice surprise Forgotten April was! Within minutes of beginning to read, the story had me wanting to know more about the characters and their situations. There is great character voice, so that once I got to know all the characters I didnt have to check whose chapter it was (each chapter is in the voice of a different character)to know who was talking when I started to read the story again. The characters are very complex with appropriate issues that make them very lifelike. I think some might think the main character, April, is too overloaded in bad mojo over the past 10 years, but I found it exteremely realistic, and presented in a matter-of-fact way. There was never a feeling of poor April. Bad things do happen to good people, and sometimes it really is one bad thing after another, sadly enough. But the author didnt overwhelm me with sadness over the cards April has been dealt in life. April isnt a sad sack, and she isnt made to be a superwoman either. She is like most of us dealing with lots of bad stuff-- trudging through and dealing with it the best we can. The same for characters Maggie, Hugh, and Nigel. It was very hard to put this novel down. I thought about it when my mind wasnt otherwise occupied, wondering what was going to happen next. I could never predict what did happen, which I loved. I almost always see it coming in a book or movie, and it is a treasure when I dont. This book kept me on my toes with very believable plot twists that left me unaware of the ending until it unfolded as I read. Im impressed with the epilogue to this novel as well. Some who have not had to deal with this issue (Im not giving it away-- read the book!) in their family might find it contrived in order to tie up a loose thread. I felt it made perfect sense of some behaviors in one of the characters. It not only tied up a loose thread that wasnt dangling terribly in the first place, but gave me an aha moment as well. Who expects that from an epilogue? I didnt. Excellent engrossing writing, and the best kindle editing Ive seen in awhile. Ill be looking for more works by Robyn Bradley.
