review 1: Wow what an emotional read There is so much going on in this book so much pain I found it a little strange that the 2 POV's were Liv and Abby but I got use to thatBy the end I was on the edge of my seat heart racing with the last scene and the epilogue OMGI enjoyed Liv's Existence and am looking forward to reading how the story ends** complimentary copy provided by the author on return for an honest review
review 2: 4.5 StarsI received an ARC for an honest review.Liv's Existence packs a powerful punch. While the storyline is good, Mooney's writing is what rates so high. She has a talent for making the reader feel. Good, Bad, Happy, Sad, doesn't matter...She makes you feel what the characters are going through. I could feel Liv's frustration with her life, h
... moreerself, and those around her.Olivia's story starts out with her only friend Kyle trying to do his damnedest to prevent her from killing herself. You see almost from the start how much she means to Kyle, but she doesn't think of him, only herself. Liv is an almost 30 year old woman stuck in her past, her traumatic past. While doing nothing but existing, she goes about her life with no real friends, except her employer, and no acquaintances. While it's easy to figure out "that traumatic experience", what's not easy is getting her to see beyond it. Kyle, her unattached hot employer, is the only person she's let in, and that's not very far. One day at work she see's HIM..the him that ruined her life and she falls apart. Adam is there with his fiancée Abby, and Olivia loses it. Abby chases her into the bathroom, and some how they become fast friends...As Abby's world is falling apart since Adam came clean about Olivia, Liv's life is finally getting better.But as the story progresses, you're let in on Olivia's traumatic experience, you see what Adam has done to Abby as well, and you see Olivia and Kyle finally find each other. You finally meet a happier Olivia, a happier Abby, and then the fickle hand of fate reaches in and irony at it's finest appears. If I get too far into the story, there are just too many spoilers, so I have to stop.Please take into account that BL Mooney has a very powerful story telling capability, paints a wonderful picture, fills out her characters down to some of their minor idiosyncrasies and makes them wholly believable. She tells this story of a traumatic rape, and the life subsequently led by taking you on a journey into the life of Olivia, letting you feel the bad with Adam and then the good with Kyle, all while leaving you with a cliffhanger that will frustrate you to no end. less
