Plot: Paul James loved Clara Bateman.
Hating her would have been easier.
She was the past, and he was hell-bent on keeping her there.
Or so he thought...
Craigslist Ad: DESPERATELY SEEKING EPIC
You’re my father.
I don’t know much about you. I know your name is Paul James, you’re a thrill seeker, and once upon a time you did stunts and people called you ‘Epic.’
I’ve been told you don’t know about me. That it’s complicated.
But for me it’s simple.
Here’s the thing: I’m twelve years old…and I’m dying.
And as much as this could crush my mother, I have to meet you before I go.
In time, I’m sure she’ll understand. She’s still in love with you.
So, Epic, if you read this, please come back. You don’t have to be my dad. You don’t even have to tell me you love me or you’re sorry. Just come see me.
Patiently waiting, but running out of time,
Neena

☆✮ My Review ✮☆
☆ I received an ARC via Southern Belle PR in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!! ☆
After reading the plot synopsis, I'm sure a lot of you have questions about the fate of the young girl seeking her father. I'm sorry to say in respect to this, that my review will not at all feature nor give off any details regarding that book aspect.
Desperately Seeking Epic was one of those sentimental and monumental touching reads that will make you feel emotional, frustrated, and holding back tears.
It's hard to go into detail without divulging spoilers, so I will not. I will just share my over all thoughts and feelings after finishing.
What I take back from the plot and the characters was the essence of all of it. It was raw, unjaded (*yes, I made that word up), and pure. It was about the miracles of life and seizing it, with all of the joyous and heartbreaking complexities that come with it.
Part of living life is the unknown and taking it by the horns and cherishing every moment of it.
I've really been impressed with author BN Toler and the risks she undertakes in her writing and the depth it possesses. I remember reading her book debut and to see her authorship growing and transforming, it's been quite a treat!!
Loved this Ms. Toler!
