Red, White, and Whole by Rajani LaRocca
5.0
Type of read: Commuter Read.
What made me pick it up: I had just finished a previous book and needed something to listen to on my morning commute. 'Red, White, and Whole' was one of the first books that popped up in my search on Libby for currently available audiobooks with no specific genre, author, etc. in mind.
Overall rating: "You will write your own story, and it will be beautiful because it is yours."
'Red, White, and Whole' is an absolutely beautiful telling of young Reha and her struggle with feeling like she's living in two different worlds and how that impacts her life, including when her mother is diagnosed with and going through treatment for cancer. I'm so happy I stumbled upon this book. It was written with heart and as a reader, you are put smack dab in the middle of Reha's feelings, struggles, and strength. Did this book rip my heart out and make me want to go hug all my family members? Yes. Yes, it did. Totally worth it. I would 100% recommend 'Red, White, and Whole.'
