Take Me with You When You Go is a gorgeous coming of age story of survival which follows the lives of Bea and her brother Ezra as they struggle to overcome their troubled childhood experiences. Told entirely in the format of emails, this multi POV story allows us to experience their journey in a way that feels very close and intimate, almost like delving into someone’s diary.

The pages are full of characters that you will immediately have an emotional reaction to and beautiful quotes that will punch you full force in the gut. Within Bea’s and Ezra’s story the authors have shone a light on quite harrowing topics such as child abuse, survival and loneliness but they have done so in quite a beautiful and gentle way.

As Bea and Ezra strive to get through all the crap that life has thrown at them we begin to see their own individual resilience come to the fore along with glimmers of that unwavering sibling relationship which kept them afloat.

A tender and poignant book which shows there's always a way through albeit a bumpy one.
