A Long, Cool Rain

The storyline is interesting. However, I am finding the story telling boring. I don't have that "can't hurry up so I can read" moments. Sorry, just not enough pizzaz for me.

Substance, this story has it. Angst, realities of life interspersed with humor. Colin met Julia when the guy's uncle died and left a will leaving most of his properties to his only son, Julia's brother. A product of an affair between her mother and his uncle, secretly acknowledged but publicly hidden in avoidance of some parties getting hurt. It was a neatly, perfectly woven tale of anguished, grief, forgiveness and acceptance with certain bits of humor from the main and side characters specifically Julia's friend Mike, their conversations are noteworthy, as they navigate through their dilemma. And there was Liam's issues all throughout the book, he sure was one angry man, imagine taking out his anger in a public restaurant like they were at home, he is like this immature, angry toddler who lives in one tantrum after the other. But his issues is tackled maybe in another story another book. Kudos to the writer, who delivered well.

Really enjoyed this. 5*
