Synopsis
After surviving a devastating car accident
that took her father's life, Bryn Woods feels like she has nothing left in her
hometown of Savannah, GA. Along with losing her father, her boyfriend, Tyler,
unexpectedly leaves town the same time of the accident. Feeling alone, broken
and confused, Bryn leaves Savannah for college in New York City to escape her
heartbreak.
Four years later, Bryn returns to Savannah to live in her childhood home.
Slowly, she begins to let the people of her past back into her life. She lets
the protective walls she's built to protect herself crash down around her. As
she begins to find love again with Tyler, secrets start to unravel themselves
about his past. Tyler has secrets of his own. Secrets connected to the death of
Bryn's father. Secrets Tyler didn't even know he kept.
I LOVED Alexandria Rhodes More Than You Know, though parts of the book seemed predictable Ms. Rhodes was able to captivate an audience with her style and character development. Bryn, the main narrator takes you on the journey of her life, filled with many trials and tribulations each heartbreak becomes your own. I give her credit because some things shes able to forgive i don't know if i have the HEART to do just that. Bryn makes you look at yourself and ask the question "can i be that unselfish?"
Learning about Oliva, Ash, Tyler, Cass, Maria and others thought out the story makes it like they are real and their stories become the story of your friends and family.
In hindsight i expected some small stories to become more meaningful, or find what links them to the development of both main characters that was never established.
I love that the story ends where it ends, its a standalone book that if Rhodes so feels can continue into a series. Throughout the book Rhodes gives an insight on Tyler's POV which is nice to know what goes through his head in certain situations.
I have a love hate relationship with Tyler and Cass, i feel what they did was unforgiveable and finding out why they did what they did wasnt worth the effect their actions caused. Im not a fan on how quickly Bry picks up that situation because it doesn't seem authentic. But times like this i have to remember why Bryn is the person she is, and the experiences she has ive never experience.
Overall, i loved this book and excited to see what Rhodes has to offer the bookworm world.
I give More Than You Know by Alexandria Rhodes
