I wasn’t sure what to expect from Far From You at first. I knew very little about it. But what I got out of it was a beautiful story about two best friends, one of whom is murdered one night, and the other accused of being the cause of it. Through a series of flashbacks, Sharpe introduces us to how the characters were before the murder, and she shows their individual struggles.
Sophie was a fantastic main character, with so much trauma and baggage, and yet still so much heart. I could have read about her for a lot longer than 350 pages. She takes whatever life throws at her - a bloody freight train – and by the end of the story she has battled so many different demons, and yet she still manages to come out of it stronger than ever. Honestly, she’s a character I will be admiring for a long time.
