The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein

5.0

I've been recommended this book by so many people and was so scared to read. I was scared that it wouldn't live up to the hype. I was scared that it would hurt to much to read. I thought that I wouldn't be able to handle a book with a dog in it for somewhat obvious reasons. But I'm so so happy that I read this. I might have cried at my desk at work finishing it but it was such a great book. The struggles, the heartache, the unfairness all circled around to make a beautifully written story that I can only hope will translate well in theaters. And if you've ever owned a dog I think this is perfect for you.
