The Poppy Fields by Nikki Erlick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Erlick is so good at writing stories with interesting premises. Her stories themselves are interesting but what I love the most is the thought-provoking concept the story is built around. This one is about grief and our relationship with it.
If we’re grieving someone, so much so that we can hardly breathe, is it better to not remember them? Is it better to dull the edge of that grief? What if it disappears forever? What if the positive memories go with it? Where’s the limit? Where do we draw the line on what’s worth erasing and what’s worth keeping? How far are we willing to go?
All such interesting food for thought without clear and correct answers. That’s the kind of stuff great books are made of.
with gratitude to netgalley and HarperAudio for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
