What people are saying about Verja:
“Ahhh this chapter is SO GOOD! I got goose bumps twice! When I read the last line I literally thought “Oh my gosh!” It’s a really exciting chapter, I love the dialogue between Evelyn and her dad and that they’re opening up with each other.”
“Lots of emotion for me in this chapter, and that makes a good chapter! The difficulties in their relationship is so real – Evelyn wanting to open up but being too scared – Eirik knowing he should have told her but chose not to – SO REAL and so painful and I love that the book echoes those real life experiences.”
“I like that Evelyn found her power, to overcome her panic and stop and think. I like that she forgives herself and realises she needed to do that.”
