Rachel’s Folly by Monica Bruno #review

Family therapist Rachel Richards’ life is about to come undone.

She has it all: a successful career, a beautiful house, a loving husband, and a son she adores. To top it off, her best friend is getting married. But who is this mysterious man who calls himself Jack and, more importantly, who is Rachel when she’s with him? After a night of drinking gone awry, Rachel is forced to face a dark part of herself she didn’t know existed. She must find a way to cope—with what she’s done, with the kind of person she might be—or lose her life in the process.

Told from three unique perspectives and set against the backdrop of an Austin, Texas both strange and familiar, Rachel’s Folly is an exploration of profound loss, morality, and the lengths to which we will go to save our loved ones and ourselves . . . from ourselves.

I really enjoyed the book. I received it as an ARC a while ago. The characters, the plot, and the writing style were all equally as good as the other. There is a lot of suspense and mystery here. It is one of those things where you read a semi short book (140 on my Kindle) and want to scream “YES read it now” This is where the problem is; I think some things are a little disconnected. To be very honest as a blogger you get ARC’s and most of the time there is not cover and it is a sort of “work in progress” I am reading and blogging for a while and to be as honest as I can be if I saw the book cover and the title I wouldn’t bother. So I have to find a way to ask people to see beyond it and read the book. Sometimes I am right and sometimes I am not.

The way the author split the book up so there is 3 POV was pretty interesting. I liked Rachel’s brother the best. The author did a wonderful job of adding a gay male to the story. That character was the one that really spoke to me. He was so supportive of his sister. He is the brother that listens and doesn’t judge, for that I was smitten.

I did enjoy the book and I wish the author success.
