The Risk of Us by Rachel Howard

5.0

Oh my gosh...All the stars. This is a heartbreaking tearful adventure into the frightful world of fostering to adoption. Yes it is excruciatingly sad but whether or not you enjoyed the characters portrayed in this story or even the story itself; it all pales in reality to the truth and children are the most innocent of beings.

I love that this book is fiction and reality blended. The author has accomplished both beautifully by underlining fine nuances of the psyche and emotions that run through in fostering and adoptions and juxtaposed to which has also informed us of a gory reality of a child who was mistreated.

It is no exaggeration that this story is gripping, shocking and a real page turner. It is such an absorbing read and the characters have become my close friends. Thank you Rachel Howard , you are a talented writer.

Thank you NetGalley, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and Rachel Howard for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an impartial review; all opinions are my own.
