From the best-selling author of the Bright Side series comes a thought-provoking, eye-opening story about the complexity of family, the devastation of loss, the destruction of depression, and the unequivocal power of kindness and perspective. An Amazon Top 50 best seller, The Other Side is a stand-alone novel.
There are two sides to every story. The surface reality that’s presented to the world. And then, there’s the other side. The real one. The one that matters.
Seventeen-year-old self-proclaimed asshole Toby Page is alone. No friends. No family. He trades maintenance work in exchange for room and board.
Every day, he fights demons no one else can see. Every day, he wants to give up. But he can’t. Not yet. When Alice Eliot moves in downstairs, she offers Toby some light in his dark world.
At a crossroads and barely hanging on, it’s hard to have perspective. It’s difficult to see your own worth when you’re the villain in your story. Luckily for Toby, Alice brings things out in him that no one else ever has.
As the two sides of Toby’s story are revealed, and the full reality comes into view, truth is gained, unlikely heroes emerge, and improbable alliances prove that kindness is fundamentally human.
The question is: Will it all be enough to save him?
The audiobook is produced by One Night Stand Studios.
Praise for the book:
"With grace, care, honest words, and a hopeful message, Holden has woven a story that will sit in your soul and has the power to make so many of us feel less alone. A must-read for young and old alike.” (Ginger Scott, best-selling author)
My Review
This was my first Kim Holden's book. The Other Side is such an emotional, heartbreaking, realistic, and intense story. So much that I had to listen to it little by little. Maybe this wasn't the right time to listen to it for me. No doubt this wasn't an easy subject to write about it, and the author did it with respect, empathy, and understanding. The audio cast did an outstanding job with the narration.
