Hopeless Romantic

Life lessons presented in stories of realism wrapped in a hug. That is how I see Violet Duke's stories.
Jackson's Trust is my reintroduction to Ms. Duke. Her capacity to write strong female characters not afraid of being vulnerable but able to hold their own no matter the obstacles is my favorite aspect of her writing. Through NetGalley I received an ARC of Jackson's Trust in exchange for an honest review. I liked the theme of being true to yourself. That is a great lesson. Leila at heart is a tomboy but outside she sort of struggles to find her place. Jackson is not as carefree as he seems. His deeply buried issues influence his life. What I love about a Violet Duke novel is that there are hidden meanings in every scenario, but there is also flare, charm and great storytelling.
