This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
Wow! Gloria Joynt-Lang debut novel, Beyond Circumstances, is superlative!! This is a heart-warming romance novel that illustrates the power of true love and friendship. It is a character driven novel about 2 individuals having an internal struggle about whether or not to move their relationship forward.
Lexie and Zak will do anything to help another person, and their relationship is genuine. They want to protect each other at all costs.
These aren't "perfect" people. They are flawed, they struggle, they do their best, and they don't always win. Mental illness is addressed in both characters. Lexie with anxiety and Zak with PTSD. The author handles their mental illness with care and compassion.
Beyond Circumstances is definitely one of my favorite books. If you enjoy reading a riveting, tense, human interest and love story you must read this book! ( )
