Welcome to Litsy!

Another fabulous debut novel! Amy Ashton becomes a hoarder after the disappearance of her beloved boyfriend, and best friend. The loss, grief, and unknown reasons why her 2 favorite people disappear shatters her, until a family next door with 2 little boys opens up her heart again. There are flashbacks describing why Amy hordes varies items like wine bottles, coffee mugs, lighters. It‘s the littlest things that mean the most.

While slow in parts it all comes together in the end. Horder, Amy Ashton, holds on to objects held dear to the memory of the love of her life. How do you grieve someone who just disappears and so starts the collection. Flash back chapters explain the significance of how this object builds and takes up residence in a home backed to the brim until the neighbors decide enough is enough. The relationship building is beautifully crafted and empathy 👇

I thoroughly enjoyed this story and was surprised to find that it‘s a debut. I‘ll definitely be looking for more from this author.
