Great review.

It's one of those books - it doesn't feel right to say, "I loved it," - but I will say "thank you" for saying everyone should read it - I'm glad I did. I'll just post my GR review below:<br /><br /><br />I have a dilemma. I need to go Christmas shopping. Christmas is in about a week but I have yet to start shopping. But… I also need to leave a review for Omorphi, because if I don’t do it now, I’ll forget. The problem is, this is such a big story that it’s hard to leave just a quick review, but I’m going to do my best because my husband is literally getting ready to go warm up the car.<br /><br />This was not an easy book to read. If I had read the author’s notes at the end, I’d have probably not made it past the first chapter. The abuse that Christy suffered is beyond horrific. But Omorphi is NOT about the abuse – not at all. Omorphi is completely about Christy’s amazing strength and Michael’s devotion to him. I’ve never met a character with as much inner determination than Christy, but, that said, he still has his triggers and his weaknesses. That’s where Michael comes in. When Christy stumbles, Michael is there to pick him up and help him move forward.<br /><br />I’m grateful that C. Kennedy introduced us to the abusive aspects of this story in the past tense. Had I had to “witness” it in the present tense, I don’t think I could’ve gotten past it – but it was very well done. By the time you realize what Christy went through, you already know him well enough to know he will overcome it with the help of therapy and loved ones.<br /><br />There’s so much I want to say in this review, but it’s probably best I’m short on time because it would either get too personal or reveal parts of the story best left to the readers. Suffice it to say, this is a story that everyone should read – simply for the fact that every single person needs to be aware that while this is a fictional story, this stuff really happens.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793356990290006023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1610646670951633311.post-24388358267235070392014-10-26T19:23:00.061-04:002014-10-26T19:23:00.061-04:00It is a very emotional book, but it's so worth...It is a very emotional book, but it's so worth the tears I shed.

This looks like a tough book to read, emotionally, but I know it's gotten rave reviews, and because you've said 'everyone should read this', I'll read it. I haven't "met" Michael yet, but I can, without a doubt, assure you that the world is full of wonderful people - they don't exist only in fiction.

Cody did such a good job weaving the relationship between Michael and Christy. Michael is Christy's strength and we all need someone like that in our lives. We all need people who love us for who we are and for what we've been though. From the bottom of my heart I believe there is a Michael out there for you. Someday, sweetheart, you will find your Michael.<br />I'm profoundly grateful that you found Omorphi and Cody. I'm also profoundly grateful for authors like Cody Kennedy who write stories of such love and hope and healing.<br />Awesome review, my friend.<br />sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999167564135937556noreply@blogger.com
