The Beauty of Rain by Jamie Beck
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the story of two sisters, one whose life is irrevocably changed by an accident that killed her husband and son almost a year ago and the other whose family looks “perfect” but is unraveling slowly at the seams as she tries to save her sister, become a partner at her law firm and also be the best mom all at the same time.
There is so much in this book about grief, our sense of self and how it gets wrapped in others, about regret and remorse and marriage and having a child with needs. The characters are real and raw and the look inside their lives is open and earnest.
I loved the characters and even though i can nitpick at parts of it, I really loved this story, too.
with gratitude to netgalley and Montlake for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review
