Fractured Lines was simply moving. This book will grip you on the raw and real emotional aspect of what love endures. Love is not perfect. Love can hurt. But most importantly love can heal and save you. For Finn, Carrie was his medicine. She healed him in more ways than he could ever explained. His love for her was so real and raw that you felt every fiber of his love for her in his heart. As for Carrie, there was no doubt in her love for Finn. He was her soul-mate. Together they were each other’s hope, heart, soul, and home. And in this book, this couple had to fight for their love and not give up. And Jen McLaughlin truly showcased that love isn’t easy. Love is about trust. Love is an unspoken bond between two people. Love is respect. And true love is definitely worth the fight.
Finn and Carrie had to endure one of the biggest issue in their marriage. Trust. Finn’s ongoing struggle with PTSD was one uphill battle that he tried so hard to overcome but when his signs of his PTSD and abuse of pills and addiction begins to act up again, more secrets and lies begins to add up. How many more lies can Carrie take?

Fractured Lines was definitely a book that you could not put down. I loved the emotional and heartbreaking journey, Jen McLaughlin takes her readers on. It was so raw and real that you felt every ounce of emotion being evoked from Finn and Carrie. What I truly love about this book was how real this book felt. It manages to show the power of love. And the true beauty of this book was that it illustrates love, trust, and respect are intertwined. Love is hard work. Trust has to be earned. Forgiveness is key. And asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of strength. Love is a battle. And Carrie and Finn proved that whatever stood in their way, they will fight for their love because this is no ordinary love. Its true love.
