‘Undeniably Compelling Story’
BlueInk Reviews
The unconventional and slightly eccentric nature of 'Cant See Around Corners' appealed to my penchant for dark tales and complex characters. Josie's skill in crafting phenomenal scenes left me in awe.
I was impressed by the adept handling of pacing, as the story effortlessly maintained my undivided attention from beginning to end.
'Can't See Around Corners' was an intense, tragic, family saga with a pinch of supernatural elements thrown into it. The book had this hypnotic effect and the writing was just beautiful.
The story was very out of the box and quite funky. The plot was fast-paced and it had enough drama to keep us guessing.
A lot of allegories were used to convey that money doesn't make a person good and character is what really matters at the end of the day. Money also makes people too greedy and do unthinkable things."
