Review of Drawn from Life
Posted: 06 Mar 2024, 15:47
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Drawn from Life" by Sarah P. Blanchard.]
Drawn from Life by Sarah P. Blanchard is a psychological thriller by the author, with Emma Gillen as the central character. Emma is involved in an accident that results in the deaths of three people. Eight years later, she is still haunted by guilt. She believes the accident was her fault and lives with that burden. The fact that she cannot remember what actually happened or how the accident truly went down makes the torment worse. Her cousin Lucy comes back into her life eight years after she disappeared. She is divorced and looking for money, and she wants a share of the inheritance that their wealthy uncle left behind. Emma believes she can get back her memories with the help of her cousin and strikes a bargain with her cousin. What went down eight years ago? Who was actually driving the car, and who is targeting Emma now?
In Drawn from Life, the author weaves a mesmerizing tale that shows how the tangent of one's life was changed as a result of an accident. The author helps the readers understand the trauma that someone who survives an accident goes through. Apart from the physical injuries, the psychological wounds take a while to heal. The book has all the ingredients necessary to capture the emotions of the readers.
My favorite character is Emma Gillen. The character portrayed as Emma is resilient; she shows strength and courage. For someone who was involved in a life-threatening accident that almost claimed her life, she chooses to rise above that, goes through therapy, and also strives to get her memories back, even though it may be painful remembering what happened. Her compassion is what makes her feel guilty about the accident, which I see as a strength and not a weakness. Apart from Emma, another reason I enjoyed the book was the character Chaz. He was quiet but effective, and while he was not at the forefront of the drama, he came in to play a very important role.
I had an enjoyable time reading the book, and it was a very pleasurable experience. The story was beautifully written, and the story was emotional; I was almost moved to tears at the end of the book. I even got goosebumps as I was reading. The characters all played their parts well, and the backstory that the author provided for the characters made them interesting. The vivid description of places in the book added to the beauty of the book. Hence, there was nothing about the book that I disliked.
I am pleased to give the book five out of five stars because its gripping narrative and psychological depth immerse readers in the story, allowing them to experience it deeply. This compelling experience warrants a perfect rating. I recommend this book to fans of crime and mystery thrillers.
