The Ferryman by Justin Cronin

The Ferryman by Justin Cronin Genre: Dystopian / Science Fiction Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very few books get 5 stars from me! What in gods earth did I just read. Review: It may be a long read, but I guarantee you’ll want to slowly devour each chapter until your brain melts! Like many other readers, I fell in love with Cronin reading his Passage trilogy. His style of character development, world-building, and introspective analysis of the internal and external issues issue humanity faces is simply beautiful. Whether you love science fiction or not, this book will not disappoint. This is a fantastic story, delving into the topics of love, loss, hope, deception, corruption, determination and sacrifice. Few books leave a permanent mark, and this is one that surely will! Thank you to NetGalley for my advanced reader copy.

If you need me, I'll be fixing my mascara rivers and picking up the pieces of my busted heart from the floor!

Raw, inspirational, beautiful and ugly.

How can a story be stomach-wrenching yet beautiful at the same time?

Thank you to @colleenhoover for sharing this with us. "Just keep swimming."

The part where you discover the book title's origin is the minute the floodgates opened! #ifyouknowyouknow

"Imagine all the people you meet in your life. There are so many. They come in like waves, trickling in and out with the tide. Some waves are much bigger and make more of an impact than others. Sometimes the waves bring with them things from deep in the bottom of the sea, and they leave those things tossed onto the shore. Imprints against the grains of sand that prove the waves had once been there, long after the tide recedes."

Trigger Warning:

Domestic violence is a delicate subject to both write about and read, and when I found out it was one of the book's central themes, I was hesitant to read. However, it is about so much more than this. Its exploration of the complicated ways love can take hold is a feeling that will resonate with many readers. I'm glad I read it despite the challenging parts because avoiding something I'm cautious about reading about does not make it disappear.

Synopsis:

Lily hasn't always had it easy, but that's never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She's come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up — she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily's life suddenly seems almost too good to be true.

Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He's also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn't hurt. Lily can't get him out of her head. But Ryle's complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his "no dating" rule, she can't help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.

As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan — her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.
