\"Echo<\/a>Echo Point by Virginia Hale<\/strong> is a lovely Australian romance that has a lot of things I love: an ice queen that thaws, an age gap between the leads, and it takes place in a small town.<\/p>\n

Bronwyn Lee has been back in her hometown in Australia since receiving word that her sister, Libby, died. Libby left sole custody of her six-year-old daughter, Annie, to Bron and now she has the uncomfortable task of figuring out how she\u2019s going to raise her. This includes deciding whether to move back home or move Annie with her to Boston.<\/p>\n

Although Bron and her family are still grieving, life is mostly moving on when Libby\u2019s best friend, Ally, arrives to stay with them. Ally never got a chance to say goodbye to Libby and she takes solace in being welcomed by the family. Well, everyone in the family except Bron. Bron never liked Ally and the years since she\u2019d seen her last hasn\u2019t changed anything.<\/p>\n

The more time Bron spends with Ally, the more she realizes she may have been wrong about Ally all along\u2014especially seeing how much Ally and Annie adore each other. Bron\u2019s future is in Boston, but could there be more reasons for her to stay in Australia than just keeping Annie with what\u2019s familiar?<\/p>\n

The Characters<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The whole book is told from Bron\u2019s perspective in the third person, so we don\u2019t get a lot of insight into who Ally is until she and Bron get to know each other. I didn\u2019t feel like we lacked anything by the end of the book, however, because she\u2019s a warm, funny, lovely person who isn\u2019t particularly guarded even if she has plenty of reasons to be.<\/p>\n

Bron is warm with her niece, brother, and stepmother, but is incredibly prickly with Ally to the point of being outright rude at first. So while I wouldn\u2019t say she\u2019s necessarily an ice queen \u00e0 la Catherine Ayers<\/a> or Harry Knight<\/a>, pushing away everyone around her, she definitely needs to do some melting before she can let Ally in. In doing so, she also goes through the necessary growth that lets her figure out her priorities in a way that may not have been possible otherwise.<\/p>\n

The Writing Style<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Echo Point is very easy to read. The writing is smooth, the characters are compelling, and the pacing works very well. It also feels very Australian, rather than being a story that feels like it could be set anywhere.<\/p>\n

The Pros<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Everything in the story worked for me!<\/p>\n

The Cons<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The cover doesn\u2019t do the book justice at all.<\/p>\n

The Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Echo Point is a lovely book and I\u2019m really glad I read it. Despite the grief that some of the characters grapple with, it\u2019s actually quite a gentle book. If you\u2019re looking for a new comfort read, I totally recommend it.<\/p>\n

Excerpt from Echo Point by Virginia Hale<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Bron couldn\u2019t be bothered starting another argument, so she started the uphill walk back to the house, Ally falling in step beside her. Considering Ally thought she\u2019d been down by the gate waiting for her, Bron said, \u201cThere\u2019s no reception up at the house. I had to check my messages on Daniel\u2019s phone since mine is broken.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, Daniel told me. Did you need to call the boyfriend?\u201d<\/p>\n

She slowed. \u201cExcuse me?\u201d she asked in utter confusion, her gaze searching Ally\u2019s face for any hint of jest.<\/p>\n

Ally looked down at her, her face blank. \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

Bron shook her head. How on earth had their signals crossed so spectacularly? Sudden, deep upset erupted within her. Had the entire family managed to conveniently omit the minor detail that she\u2019d been dating women since\u2026forever? \u201cI\u2026I don\u2019t have a boyfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n

A slow smirk broke out on Ally\u2019s face. \u201cI\u2019m fucking with you, Bron. Libby told me you\u2019re a dyke ages ago, like back in the Stone Age.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bron didn\u2019t know which maddened her more\u2014Ally\u2019s knack for catching her off guard, or Ally rekindling the horrible sadness invoked by Bron\u2019s family\u2019s resistance to her sexual identity. She pursed her lips and picked up the pace.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve known a lot longer than Lib, though,\u201d Ally continued. \u201cI watched you check out Desert Hearts from the video store every second weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTwice. I only rented it twice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ally chuckled. \u201cWell, I think the Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman poster on your bedroom wall gave you away too. I figured it was either narcissism or lesbianism that made you pin it up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNarcissism?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always thought you look just like her. Blue eyes, blond hair. Pint-sized, but just like her.\u201d<\/p>\n
