Intricately
plotted and emotionally rich, Flickering Heart by Tricia T.
LaRochelle follows eighteen-year-old Sara Browne, a sole survivor of an
accident who has spent the last six years held hostage by PTSD, a condition
that separated her from people around her. When she decides to embrace change,
she is looking forward to making friends and having some adventure — even dating
someone. All of that comes in one bundle — the six-foot-three, beguilingly
handsome Scott Williams. The only problem is that William has had a score of
ex-girlfriends and many of them are jealous. The bigger problem is that
someone is out to destroy Sara and the signs are disturbing, from vandalizing her
car to tampering with her laptop, and now threatening letters. Does she have
enough fight in her to face the unnamed enemy and set her life back to normal?
This
novel begins with a compelling premise: a young girl who has lost her parents
and who struggles with PTSD is an intriguing one and the author uses it to
build a solid ground on which the female heroine evolves. The novel has strong psychological underpinnings. When readers
encounter Sara, she is broken: ''my soul was withering on the vine.''
The first-narrative voice reflects her perspective in a compelling manner and
it grabs the attention of readers instantly. Tricia T. LaRochelle creates a
winning protagonist in Sara, making her strong yet vulnerable. Her insecurities
when it comes to Scott are natural, given her background. But her resilience
shines through the story, filled with insightful moments to reflect on. This
book is a great read for any romance enthusiast and readers looking for stories
brimming with realism and featuring rock-solid characters. There is quirkiness
in the narrator’s voice that makes it hard for anyone to put this book
aside. Flickering Heart delivers enough twists to keep the suspense
high, offering readers the perfect escape and the best drama.
