Really well written family drama. These are such good discussion books.

At first, I wasn't impressed with this book. Although the title CLEARLY says, 'The MOURNING After' for some reason I expected, the sadness to last a lot less than it did. With that being said, I couldn't put the book down, I was waiting for the moment to come when their sadness was no longer there and it didn't happen till the end. Rochelle Weinstein, did a great job capturing the grief of ALL the family members, while I myself have never lost a child, I believe the way the mother was portrayed to be spot on. This was definitely a page turning, in a sense that it wasn't a thriller but because it was so easy to feel their pain you couldn't wait for it to be done. GREAT book.

Good but Deep

Ugh. So this was almost a DNF for me; I feel like I need a new shelf that is “read to 15% and then skipped to the last 5%.” I made it to the first boat ride where they saw the cabin near her house, realized they would probably have sex in said cabin at some point that summer, and skipped to the end where she caught her fiancé with someone else’s red underwear.

I’m not a fan of cheater books, and the end does not justify the means.

Talk about a heart wrencher! This was my first audiobook in a hot minute, but I needed something for a solo trip to Savannah this weekend and it was the perfect length (down to the minute!). While some parts were predictable, the characters were relatable and my heart truly went out to Levon. This one was just a bit over 8 hours which made it a great length for a newbie to Audiobooks and it was one you could zone in and out and not fall behind. Another great story from Rochelle!
