When a girl goes missing in her secluded Appalachian town,
seventeen-year-old Linden, who can taste other people's emotions, recovers
haunting memories of her own disappearance and explores the legend of the
Moth-Winged Man, leading her to wonder if there are some secrets best left
buried.
I loved listening to Bittersweet in the Hollow; the
audiobook narrator’s clear and emotional voice truly enhanced my connection to
the story. The relationships between the main character, Linden, and her
sisters were engaging and fun, while the sweet romance added to the book’s
charm. The mystery and suspense kept me engaged, balancing the lighter moments
with intrigue. The writing is beautifully descriptive, immersing me in the
vivid imagery of the setting. Additionally, Linden’s unique gift to feel others’
emotions through the sense of taste adds a compelling layer to the narrative, making the exploration of
its bittersweet themes all the more intriguing.
