Don't call it a comeback!
Happy Tuesday! This week we were given a lot of freedom with the topic. We were supposed to find books that featured a particular theme or plot device. There are SO many to choose from, but one thing I always enjoy is a comeback story.
There are so many things characters can come back from. Some have to redeem themselves professionally or romantically. There were some characters who needed to rise from the ashes of a life filled with abuse. There are even books down there with the classic sports comeback, as well as one where the character must comeback from a health issue that forced her to learn to walk and talk again.
Regardless of what they are coming back from, I find these books very inspiring and feel-good. I love the idea that we can fail and rise again. That every bad feeling is not forever, and the authors of the books below did a fantastic job taking me on these comeback journeys.
- Any Trope But You by Victoria Lavine
- Work in Progress by Kat MacKenzie
- Lulu's Cafe by T.I. Lowe
- The Favorites by Layne Fargo
- Unromance by Erin Connor
- Pictures of You by Emma Grey
- Is She Really Going Out With Him? by Sophie Cousens
- The Jewel of the Isle by Kerry Rea
- What Does It Feel Like? by Sophie Kinsella
- Happiness for Beginners by Katherine Center

I so rarely can remember books for things like this but I immediately went to Carrie Soto is back!
ReplyDeleteCarrie Soto is one of my favorite comeback books. I did this topic before (I learned after I did it, ha!), and Carrie was on that other list.
DeleteI like the idea of this. Some comebacks are good in a book.
ReplyDeleteI love a good comeback. It gives me hope .
DeleteSuch a great list! I loved The Jewel of the Isle.
ReplyDeleteKerry Rea can do no wrong! I swear!
DeleteAgreed! I like a good triumphing underdog story.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
Always pumps me up
DeleteGreat choice, Sam. I also love stories where the characters rise and come back. I have Is She Really Going Out With Him coming up tomorrow, so am really looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteYou are reading all these books I loved! I am crossing my fingers that your enjoy it as much as I did.
DeletePictures of You sounds very intense. I don't know how many people can bounce back from 13 years of coma, but regardless, the premise is interesting!
ReplyDeleteThat was a very intense book. That woman was stuck in a nightmare. She wasn't in a coma that long but she lost those years.
