“In the end, only three things matter. How much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.”
- Unknown

It was a big lie. The biggest lie she’d ever told. It reverberated through her head as she said it, ringing eerily, and the girl behind her eyes—the girl who knew the truth—screamed, and her scream echoed along with the lie.
“Are you in love with Noah, Mercedes?” Cora asked. “I mean . . . I know you love him. You’ve been friends forever. We all have. But are you in love with him?”
If it had been anyone else—anyone—Mercedes would have stuck out her chest, folded her skinny arms, and let her feelings be known. She would have claimed him. But it was Cora. Brave, beautiful, broken Cora, and Cora loved Noah too.
So Mercedes lied.
And with that lie, she lost him. With that lie, she sealed her fate.
She was the best friend, the bridesmaid, the godmother, the glue. She was there for the good times and the bad, the ups and the downs, the biggest moments and the smallest parts. And she was there when it all came crashing down.
This is the tale of the girl who didn’t get the guy.

Another Great Story

Reviewed in Australia on 16 February 2019

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Another great book by Amy Harmon! It is not only about the girl who did not get the guy, it is about friendship, loyalty and family. I really felt for Mercedes and her selflessness in all aspects of her life which included giving up a relationship with Noah the only boy she ever loved. This book has action, laughable moments that will melt your heart and heart break. I enjoyed other characters from Amy Harmon's other books which played a part in this story. Some parts were a little unbelievable which is why I gave 4 stars instead of 5. Overall a great book which I enjoyed.

Another poignant story from Amy Harmon, once again she has highlighted how mental illness colours our world and how many people are affected by it either directly or indirectly. I enjoyed the character interactions and their development. I particularly liked how she interwove the past and present into the story.

You haven't lived if you haven't read an Amy Harmon creation...

Reviewed in Australia on 11 March 2020

Format: Kindle Edition

This is my second Amy Harmon book and I loved it as much as the first. She has a way of crafting characters - their frailties, insecurities, strengths and ugliness - into real people that take a small piece of my heart with every word.

"The Smallest Part" is no different. I loved Noah the moment he stepped onto the stage. My heart broke for Mercedes and the difficult choices she not only made, but stuck to.

And Cora. I don't think I can say anything without shouting spoilers... or just shouting... so, I won't.

Thank you, Ms Harmon, for another beautiful, broken story to immerse your readers in.

A STORY OF HOPE - 5+ STARS

Reviewed in Australia on 10 June 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

'The Smallest Part', by Amy Harmon, was another example of her outstanding writing skills - authentic, well-thought-out, heartbreaking, enchanting and gripping.
Initially, I put-off reading TSP because I knew it would be gaspingly emotional. (And the complexities of this love triangle scenario were...very!)
The multidimensional characters (Mercedes, Cora and Noah) were sympathetic, vulnerable and fallible. As the characters' layers were revealed, I was fully invested in the trope.
Amy has the ability to weave heart, intricacies, intimacy, life experiences and reflections into one mesmerising narrative after another. It's obvious that she puts 'her all' into every page - a natural story-teller, plot navigator and communicator. This one featured serendipity, true love, loyal friendships and spirituality. But it also highlighted mental health, consequences, sacrifice, loss, lies and secrets. I'm mostly a realist, but Amy's writing style always lures me into thinking...perhaps?!
Overall, 'The Smallest Part', evoked deep feelings of hope in me...beautiful memorable...gently told, but powerful.

I have no words for how good this book is - don't miss reading this !!!!

Reviewed in Australia on 17 February 2018

Format: Kindle Edition

Such an amazingly emotional wonderful book. There are times a book comes along and you read it knowing it has made an impact on your life and your heart and that you will never forget it, this is one of those books. Simply a stunning story, full of heartache, love, loyalty, friendships and family.
Amy's writing as always is impeccable, addictive, humbling. Such an honour to read.

Mercedes is such a strong character but full of cheeky sass, a loyal wonderful friend, always putting others before herself and yet she is vulnerable too, has a great sense of humour; Mercedes put many a happy smile on my face.
Noah - oh my where do we start with this man, so sweet and lovable, I mean what's not to like about his character.
Cora, I think I was really confused at first with her, I went back and re read a couple of chapters, then I got angry, then I felt sad and then I forgave. Amy has written this character with compassion which helps you to understand the situation she found herself in slightly better.
Secondary characters played a major part in the story and were a complete delight to encounter. It worked so well.

There were twist in this book that I didn't expect or anticipate and kept me hanging on the edge of my seat, I literally could not put the book down. A book that should be read as soon as possible, a book that stole my heart. Go one click this book and let it steal a piece of yours too - 5 beautiful brilliant shining spectacular stars !!!!

I didn't think she could impress me more with this new read but I was soooo wrong!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 February 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I love this lady's writing! I've found very few authors can weave a story around a group of characters but still have you know almost immediately from the writing style alone whose perspective you're reading. It seems to be that way because from the start there is just the right amount of detail to make you understand the character but still leave you wanting to know more. To truly love a book for me I need to become those characters, good or bad, and be able to disappear into their world. Amy writes such wonderful characters that I find I'm doing that despite there being a number of POVs and I'm feeling empathy with all of them. I also find there's just that perfect balance of not wanting to put the book down (just one more chapter...) and the not wanting to finish and have to leave them just yet. Sensitive issues are covered and there always seems to have been the right amount of research, or personal knowledge maybe, that they are completely believable.
I know I haven't touched on the story line in this review. That's deliberate because although it stands alone as a wonderful book, I think you'll get the best out of it by reading the other books that feature Noah first. If you haven't it's fine but I can guarantee you'll be wanting to afterwards!
I'm older than the main characters but I found it really nostalgic and loved the way the chapters started with the earlier experience and then went on to the current, showing how that had an impact or related to the story. Again the writing style was perfect for the age of the characters at each time too. I almost feel like I grew up with The Three Amigos 😀 It just seemed to flow so easily where so many times you feel like a clump of throwback has just been added as an afterthought to ensure it makes sense and you feel you're jumping all over. Loved, loved, loved every second of it!!

Brilliant

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 February 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Amy Harmon is, undoubtedly, one of the outstanding romance writers we have today. She writes with depth and a certain kind of spirituality that resonates with readers. This book is about Noah Anderlin and Mercedes Lopez, childhood friends who have been there for each other through every life's joys and tribulations. Noah was Moses Wright's therapist at Montlake. There is no need to read The Law of Moses before this one but it's highly recommended to be able to fully appreciate the richness of this book's story arc. Highly recommended.

The Smallest Part is a story of love and friendship, woven into a tale of tragedy, longing, secrets and betrayal. I loved the eclectic mix of characters especially Noah and Mercedes. There are elements to the story I wasn't expecting or believe in, but it added intrigue to a great storyline. With plenty going on, this well written and engaging book by Amy Harmon is well worth the read.

The storyline was nothing short of brilliant. From the very first page, I was hooked, and although I kind of had a feeling how the story was going to play out, I was so engrossed and couldn’t put it down until I had finished. Any Harmons writing is simply stunning and I know this book is going to stay with me for a long time to come.

So wundervoll, dass es dir das Herz bricht. Aber es heilt ganz schnell wieder. :-)

Reviewed in Germany on 13 February 2018

Amy Harmon ist in meinen Augen eine wundervolle Autorin, die mich bisher mit all ihren Büchern unglaublich berühren konnte. Als sie vor einigen Wochen aufrief, sich für ein Vorabexemplar ihres neuesten Buches "The Smallest Part" zu bewerben, habe ich einfach mal mein Glück versucht als deutsche Bloggerin auch eines der begehrten ARC zu bekommen. Und ich hatte Glück, so dass ich mich gleich hinsetzte, um das Buch zu lesen. Und was soll ich sagen? Ich liebe es!

Mercedes, Cora und Noah sind seit ihrer Kindheit die besten Freunde. Sie stehen immer für sich ein und lieben einander, wie man sich als Freunde halt liebt. Sie bleiben zusammen, auch wenn sie für einige Jahre getrennte Wege gehen. Sie bleiben zusammen, auch als zwei von ihnen gemeinsam eine Familie gründen. Und sie bleiben auch zusammen, als das schrecklichste passiert, was je passieren konnte. Denn Cora stirbt und lässt Noah und ihre kleine Tochter Gia zurück. Aber Mercedes ist da. Sie war immer da und wird immer da sein. Für Noah, für Gia. Und sie wird immer ihre Liebe geben, damit alles zusammenhält. Aber ist es das was sie will? Oder kann sie irgendwann zu ihren Gefühlen stehen?

Was für eine wunderschöne, das Herz berührende und mich zu Tränen rührende Geschichte! Ich weiß gar nicht, ob ich den Inhalt gut wiedergeben konnte. Es passiert so viel in dieser Geschichte. So viele Dinge, die ans Herz gehen und mich ans Buch fesselten. Es ist immer wieder unglaublich, wie es Amy Harmon schafft, mir schlaflose Nächte zu bereiten, meine Seele auf zu wühlen und meine Gefühle in ein auf und ab zu jagen. Es ist der Wahnsinn! Dieses Buch ist der Wahnsinn! Und ich liebe es!

Mercedes ist so ein toller Mensch. Sie trägt ihr Herz auf der Zunge und so klein die Frau mit mexikanischen Wurzeln auch ist, so groß, so kämpferisch stapft sie auf ihren High Heels durch den Alltag. Sie ist der helle Stern, die Sonne in der Dreier-Riege und sie bezeichnet sich selbst als den Klebstoff, der alles zusammenhält.

Cora ist der Mensch, bei der Mercedes und Noah ständig das Gefühl haben, sie beschützen zu müssen. Ein grauenhaftes Erlebnis hat dieses Mädchen in jungen Jahren gebrochen. Sie schwankt in ihren Stimmungen von himmelhochjauchzend bis zu Tode getrübt und macht mehrmals den Eindruck einer manisch-depressiven Person. Aber ihre "Krankheit" kommt nie wirklich zur Sprache.

Noah ist der "good Guy". Er hat etwas von einem Heiligen, der als Patron und Schutzengel, die Waage zwischen Mercedes und Cora hält. Er hatte bereits einen kleinen Auftritt in "Unser Himmel in tausend Farben", wo er der Psychiater von Moses war. Dieser Moses bekommt auch in "The Smallest Part" eine kleine aber wichtige Rolle.

Dieses Buch hat mich sehr berührt. Ob es nun die tiefe Freundschaft zwischen den dreien war oder die starken Gefühle, die Mercedes für Noah hat und auch Noah für Mercedes hat. Aber es war auch der Kampf mit den inneren Zweifeln, die Angst, die beste Freundin zu betrügen. Denn Mercedes hat Cora ihr Leben lang beschützen wollen, hat ihr vieles recht gemacht und sehr oft zu Coras Gunsten einen Rückzieher gemacht. Erst nach und nach lernt sie, für sich ein und zu ihren Gefühlen zu stehen.

Amy Harmons Schreibstil ist wie immer einzigartig, emotional und aufwühlend. Sie bringt es fertig, dass ich mich immer schwer von ihren Werken trennen kann. Ja, auch gefühlsmäßig hänge ich noch sehr lange in Gedanken an ihren Büchern. Sie brennen nach und nehmen mich mit.

Es ist einfach unglaublich, wie die Autorin es immer wieder schafft, ihren Geschichten soviel Macht, soviel Stärke und soviel Gefühl zu geben. Sie kann einem förmlich das Herz brechen und sie kann dich während des Lesens zerstören. Aber sie kann dich auch wieder zusammenflicken und man hat das Gefühl, dass es besser ist als vorher. Sie ist für mich die Queen of Romance. "The Smallest Part" beweist es wieder ein Mal. Zwar kommt es an mein absolutes Favorite "Für immer Blue" nicht ran, aber es fast ebenbürtig. Ich hoffe, dass ihr deutscher Verlag dieses Buch bald in sein Programm aufnehmen wird. Oder lest es einfach auf Englisch. Egal wie, ich bin sicher, ihr werdet es lieben!

…and to think I nearly didn’t write this book!! I’m just so glad I picked it up and started reading. The Smallest Part is truly a masterpiece. I couldn’t stop reading after I started. This book is just addicting. I’ve never expected to fall so deeply in love with this book.

This is actually even my first book by Amy Harmon, but definitely not my last. I fell totally and utterly in love with Noah and Mercedes. These characters and their story is just so beautiful and heartbreaking!! No words can do this book justice.
I can only say that you just have to experience this book by yourself. It’s everything you ever imagined and so much more. It is definitely a new favourite book of mine.

A 2018 MASTERPIECE! "The Smallest Part" deserves all the stars it deserves. It is a masterpiece novel from Amy Harmon by far and deserves to be one of the best literary, fiction novel for 2018. This is the 5th book I read by her and her storis and writing just gets better and better.
What magificent characters in this book have! Probably the best heroine I have known.
Mercedes ("Mer" or "Sadie") the most unselfish and good/generous hearted woman I have ever get to know. Her loyalty and selfless character makes her a trustworthy and true friend and personality. She is a power gal, strong, intelligent decisive woman of Mexican heritage.
Noah, a well mannered good soul of a man. "A miracle" described by his mother (who is a troubled drug addicted woman) who brought him up alone without a Father.
Cora, a complex red-haired troubled soul who is always searching for "something" she longed but not knowing what it is and where to find it. And that complicates her quest of finding love and happiness which she seeks in wrong people and places. That even her best friends, the ones who truly loves and care for her, aten't enough. And in that effect, she would make wrong choices and decisions that made her more miserable and added more to her lingering depression.
Three friends who've known each other as children growing up together. Their friendship grew too, developed into much more. Tragic events brought them closer. And the last tragedy changed the course of their friendship and loves turning point.
A brilliant love story with heartfelt slow burn tale between Mercedes and Noah. Their friendship that lasted and tested for so long. A love they kept for themselves for the sake of friendship. And the secret & the revelation that gave way for them to give love a second chance.
This novel will keep you glued page after page. Your heart and emotion will bring you in their world. Capture you and leave you breathlessly in love with the whole story and characters. I felt so warm all over. Kept me going with the suspense. And made me cry and rejoice at the same time in the end. My favorite novel this 2018.
