A pause-resisting emotional debut in the tradition of Kristin Hannah. Ellipsis is a literary fiction novel that explores the bonds that matter most and the recovery of the human spirit when those bonds are threatened.
The future looks promising, and it's supposed to come easily.
Smart, determined, and beautiful; college student and art model Nell seemed to be the girl who had it all. A passionate relationship with one of the art students leads to an unplanned pregnancy that threatens to change everything, though, and she must build a very different life than she envisioned.
For 13 years, Nell and her son Charlie are a unit and their world is complete. That world will stop spinning, though, when there’s a shooting at Charlie’s school. As Nell reaches out via text in desperation, only the words and the animated ellipsis on the phone screen offer a buffer between life and death.
Can she save the person on the other end of the messages in time, and in the process, can she save herself, too?
Ellipsis isn't a romance, but it is a love story.

begins.
I finished it yesterday and it still resonates in my mind and soul.
It is a definite read for book clubs.
I hope that the author continues her journey and continues to write more novels.

I listened to the audiobook version of “Ellipsis”. The audio version is the excellent. The narrator has a wonderful voice and is adept at bring each individual character to life. The story is told in the first person, and is the story of Nell. The narrator creates a voice that fits Nell so well. Nell is a bit aloof, sometimes business-like, sometimes vulnerable and caring.
We now use the word “ellipsis” to mean those 3 dots that appear when the recipient of a text message is writing back. Sometimes we may be impatient, or we may be eager to get the message. But what if the situation is life and death?
Nell tells her story in three parts. The first covers her college years and her first serious romance with an art student from Armenia. She gives birth to a son, Charlie. He is Nell’s whole world. After a few years, the Armenian father moves back to his home country. Nell becomes a teacher and she and Charlie continue as a close family.
The second part of the book deals with a horrific gun tragedy and the third part looks at Nell as she must move forward from great loss. Nell’s story is well written- respectful, considerate, and honest. At the height of the danger, actual ellipses on her phone cause Nell anguish. But as she moves on, she begins to see that an “ellipsis” can be a healing pause. We don’t always have to understand what is coming next, we just have to trust our tribe.
This book would be a a good book club read. The author provides a good overview of the major gun issue talking points, in a very balanced way, which would make for an interesting discussion. But there are other elements to consider: how can friends and family help, how can religion and beliefs be reconciled, how can one deal with unimaginable loss?
I recommend this thoughtful and lyrical book. I requested to listen to this book, and the author gave me access to the audiobook. This is my honest review.
