When I Was You by Minka Kent Book Review


 

Brienne, Kate, Niall, Sam, the main characters.

Enid, the nosy neighbor. Every story needs one.

Brian, the annoying co-worker.

What a tangled web that Ms. Kent has woven with these four main characters. This story is told in two voices, those of Brienne and Niall. Brienne suffered a brutal attack a few months ago that left her scared of being alone. Enter Niall, the man who answered her roommate ad. Having Niall in her house, the one her grandmother left to her, made Brienne feel safer, made her feel not as ‘crazy.’ One day, Brienne went snooping through Niall’s room because what did she really know about him? Turns out doing so led her down a path that she least expected. 

This is an entertaining tale of cat-and-mouse, but who is the cat and who is the mouse? Some may even say this tale is a bit twisted with the connection between two of the characters that only one knew about. Ms. Kent continues to be one of my go-to authors and I am never disappointed.
