It’s hard to write a review of Intimate Strangers that doesn’t include spoilers. So much of the plot hinges on a huge event that happens within the first quarter of the book, it renders writing too much about the story difficult. But this book is so good!
What happens when you encounter unbridled passion — but it’s unbridled in a way you didn’t expect, and at a time you didn’t expect? And with a lover you didn’t expect?
I love the exploration of the consequences of the events early in the book. They’re honest and challenging. I love the reflection of real feelings, feelings anyone who’s known grief can understand. And I love the honesty with which love finds its way into the lives of Kate Foster and the man she can’t forget.
This short book covers a period of time, as it should; the events are such that the tale can’t be resolved too quickly. It wouldn’t be real. This story rings true, from beginning to end.
Five stars from me!
