There Is A Light by Ban Gilmartin
4.0
I have so much love for this story! The character development was beautiful and the characters themselves were real and relatable. Ban Gilmartin did a phenomenal job of approaching the sensitive topic of mental illness. There were so many great quotes that I just want to compile them and read them when I need a mood boost.
And the setting! A bookshop on the Royal
Mile in Edinburgh? Yes please! I wish the Royal Mile had an old bookshop!
There are so many more great things about this book that are hard to put into words. It was uplifting without being cliché and each of the characters truly served a purpose and had their own distinct personalities.
My only reason for giving There is a Light 4 stars is that it took me a while to get through since the beginning wasn’t as gripping as the end. Having this on Kindle definitely made my 3-hour wait at the airport fly by (the pun was genuinely not intended).
