A Place for Us by Harriet Evans

****4 stars
I am not going to break this down by part, if I am being honest, I truly was frustrated with the way this book was released. I went ahead and downloaded each book as it was released but waited til all of them had come out before reading it. I have no issues paying good money for a great book, and this book was great. I just hated being dinged four times and then having to wait. I understand that the authors are now doing short stories or novellas, and we choose as readers to purchase there (which I do) but the way this book was released just left me baffled. I am hoping this doesn't become the new norm.
ok, about this book.
I loved A Place For Us. It was deep, wonderful, and intricately woven. I truly loved the characters and their many flaws, but adored the way each played into the entire story. This was a great emotional read.
