Yours Truly (Part of Your World, 2)

This Author’s sense of humor from her social media account drew me to find her books. To be honest, I wanted to read about Tess the world-weary hunting dog. I am not surprised to find she writes, as beautifully as she does. This book and the prior book with Alexis both combine real life, falling in love, friendship, fear, devastation, anxiety, companionship. She has a genuine gift of storytelling, where I wanted to read each word, no skipping pages, no scanning chapters. This book highlights how important the concept maintaining mental health is, especially within a relationship. The importance of mental health, that life isn’t just roses, moonbeams with love. It is communication and trust. I saw myself in Jacob, how he managed anxiety through the use of tools learned in therapy. These books are beautiful.
