No Two Persons by Erica Bauermeister is About a Book Within a Book!
Alice always knew she had a special book locked inside her just waiting to get out one day. She continues to keep it safely tucked away until two events take place in her young life.
The first event is a tragedy that rips Alice's heart out. She's raw with the pain and hole it leaves in her life.
The second event is when Alice meets someone who believes in her creative abilities to become a writer. This person mentors her and offers the final push she needs to find the words that make her story flow forth and take shape.
The result is Alice's debut novel titled Theo. Her book finds its way to nine different readers, some drawn to it more than others, but all are impacted by what they read, in different ways...
No Two Persons became my closest friend for a few days. I started each day with it, it was the last thing I saw each night, and it evoked deep emotions in me. Yep, I cried and seriously, who doesn't love reading about a book within a book?
The premise is original and the book is character-driven. Each chapter felt like a separate story and I connected to each character as I traveled story to story. I loved how some characters were intertwined with other stories giving an overall "small world" feel.
I thought No Two Persons was a fantastic book. What I loved the most were the emotions it stirred in me about memories I hadn't thought about for a very long time. As an emotional reader, that's the definition of a great book for me! I'm hoping to have many more books like this one in my 2023 reading year and I'll definitely be exploring Ms. Bauermeister's backlist. I highly recommend!
