A Tiny Upward Shove by Melissa Chadburn

5.0

This was one of the best books that I read this year. It’s so beautifully written and so raw. I would say pass on this if you’re more sensitive, as there are several graphic and upsetting parts.

I really enjoyed how the story lines all weaved together in the end. Unsolved murders, a serial killer/rapist, religious aspects, ghosts, the seedy underbelly of North American cities, immigrant women trying to make ends meet…this book really has it all.

I was a little skeptical at first, as there is some magical/mystical portions in the beginning that I didn’t understand the significance of at first. Just get through that part, and you will get sucked right into the story. I couldn’t put this one down!
