The Reach of sisters

Image
The Reach of sisters by Bethany Ash is a short story with not more than 15 pages. Plot: Cassie and  Izzy  are sisters who want to save each other, but from whom and how? Cassie is the older one, believes at her super power in protecting the world and her family, especially her sister from death. Izzy wished her sister's fantasy to be true and so she can be saved from bullying, else to save her from drowning into her imaginary world. The flow of the story is incredible, because it talks about the perspectives of two souls on same thing in few pages. Take away from this book: 1. Being normal is good to everyone, but understanding the abnormality is a must to that special one.  2. When love and bond are the same, there is no space for who is right and who is wrong.  3. Even the insane mind has a determined heart.
