It is raw, it is devastating (yes, I’m aware I’ve used that word before but it is!) and yet, it’s wonderful and I absolutely loved it!’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐’Wow!!!! Missing Pieces is gripping, heartbreaking, and I didn’t want to put it down. Laura Pearson’s writing is phenomenal!!... This book grabbed me from page 1. It is gripping throughout and the ending had me crying! And I’ve only cried twice reading books.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐’If you want to have a rollercoaster of a ride, read this. If you want to use up a box of tissues, read this.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐’Wow ... amazing... straight away it captures your heart, it is so beautifully written and impossible to put down... have the tissues ready... it feels so real... it stays with you.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐’A rollercoaster of emotions... The story will stay with me a long time... A book that I couldn’t put down... Deserves far more than five stars.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐’I am lost for words to describe this book which drew me in, enveloped me to the point where I was constantly thinking about the characters, worrying about them like they were my own. I fell in love.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐’I had tissues near me each time I picked this book up to read, and the first time it made me cry I was in the bath, and my special pack of tissues were the other side of the bathroom door, argh! I cried with sadness and I cried with relief.’ Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐’I’m quite an emotional reader and felt an almost physical ache in my heart as I read. I fully expected I’d cry but I didn’t. Not because Missing Pieces isn’t emotional, but because I had the feeling that if I let myself give in to the emotions it was engendering in me, I might never recover... Outstanding’Goodreads reviewer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
