A tragic accident. It all happened so quickly. She couldn't have prevented it. Could she?
In a split second, Jenna Gray's world descends into a nightmare. Her only hope of moving on is to walk away from everything she knows to start afresh. Desperate to escape, Jenna moves to a remote cottage on the Welsh coast, but she is haunted by her fears, her grief and her memories of a cruel November night that changed her life forever.
Slowly, Jenna begins to glimpse the potential for happiness in her future. But her past is about to catch up with her, and the consequences will be devastating . . .
My thoughts about I Let You Go ~~
First line from the prologue—"The Wind flicks wet hair across her face, and she screws up her eyes against the rain. Weather like this makes everyone hurry; scurrying past on slippery pavements with chins buried in collars."
The prologue of this book grabbed me and I needed to keep reading. The worst thing that could happen to a mother happens to this woman. How can she go on?
I Let You Go is an amazing and intense story which I thoroughly enjoyed. There were twists and turns that I did not expect. I remember gasping out loud in surprise at several points in the story. The characters did things I was totally not prepared for and that completely caught me off guard. People and things were not who and what you thought they were going to be.
This is a fabulous story that will keep your attention and you just want the good guys to win. Clare Mackintosh is a new writer to me but I know I will enjoy anything else she writes. I can't wait to read more.
I received a copy of this from First to Read in exchange for my honest opinion.
