Book Review: When You're Gone by Brooke Harris

Love, grief, and the threads that connect us across generations.

If you love emotional reads that are easy to fall into and hard to let go of, When You’re Gone might just be your next favorite.

This story follows two women from different generations — Annie in the 1950s and her granddaughter Holly in the present day — as their lives slowly reveal a deeply connected and heartbreaking past. The writing is so smooth and engaging, I honestly couldn’t put it down. I found myself loving the characters, feeling their joy and their heartbreak… and yes, I cried at the end (which is always a good sign, right?).

It’s a beautifully written story about love, loss, and how the people we love stay with us, even when they’re gone. The dual timelines work so well, and I found the entire reading experience both emotional and comforting.

If you’re in the mood for a book that hits you right in the heart, this one’s for you.
