A Sky Full of Love
Published on: June 1, 2025
A Sky Full of Love by Lorna Lewis opens with a gripping premise, a woman returns to her family after a haunting disappearance, carrying a secret that could change everything. It promises a story woven with betrayal, resilience, and the enduring ties of love, and for a while, it really delivers on that.
☁️ Emotionally charged
☁️ Centered on family dynamics
☁️ A journey of healing from trauma
If you're into books like Where the Crawdads Sing, you might find something to love here. The setting is richly drawn, you can almost hear the cicadas buzzing and there’s definitely a depth to the emotional arcs.
That said, I personally couldn’t finish it. The beginning had me genuinely intrigued; I was fully invested in the mystery surrounding the kidnapping. But as the story progressed, it lost some of that initial spark. The tone started to feel inconsistent, the characters drifted into something more distant, and the writing felt like it needed another round of editing. It read more like contemporary fiction than mystery in the end, which just wasn’t quite what I was looking for.
Still, if you’re drawn to emotionally-driven narratives and stories about healing and homecoming, this might be worth picking up. Just know that, for me, this was another miss from Amazon First Reads.
