Book Spotlight Giveaway! Before I Let You Go by Kelly Rimmer #BeforeILetYouGo

I have sooooo many books! The Book Spotlight Giveaway feature that I post every Saturday is a way for me to clear my shelves and to share some of the many books I have. This feature is a way for my to cull my collection and to give someone else the opportunity to enjoy these treasures.

I read and reviewed this book when it came out. I loved the emotional roller-coaster ride that I found myself on as I was reading this fabulous story. It was a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ read for me! You can read my thoughts here.

Good luck and be sure to stop back next week!

Before I Let You Go

Before I Let You Go by Kelly Rimmer 
ARC, 384 pages
Published April 3rd 2018 by Graydon House

The 2:00 a.m. call is the first time Lexie Vidler has heard her sister’s voice in years. Annie is a drug addict, a thief, a liar—and in trouble, again. Lexie has always bailed Annie out, given her money, a place to sleep, sent her to every kind of rehab. But this time, she’s not just strung out—she’s pregnant and in premature labor. If she goes to the hospital, she’ll lose custody of her baby—maybe even go to prison. But the alternative is unthinkable.

As weeks unfold, Lexie finds herself caring for her fragile newborn niece while her carefully ordered life is collapsing around her. She’s in danger of losing her job, and her fiancé only has so much patience for Annie’s drama. In court-ordered rehab, Annie attempts to halt her downward spiral by confronting long-buried secrets from the sisters’ childhood, ghosts that Lexie doesn’t want to face. But will the journey heal Annie, or lead her down a darker path?

Both candid and compassionate, Before I Let You Go explores a hotly divisive topic and asks how far the ties of family love can be stretched before they finally break.

Recent Reads ~ Books That Lie

As I looked over my recent reading list, I was struck by how many of them are about lies, liars, and secrets. Is this just something that I have been drawn to recently or is this a 'thing' now?

Here's what I mean. These are the books that I've read in just the first three months of 2018 that are about lying, in one way or another. 

Are there any titles that you could add to this list?

My thoughts about Before I Let You Go ~~

(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)

First line—"When my landline rings at 2:00 am on a Thursday morning, I know who's at the other end of the line before I pick up. Only one person in my life would call at that hour; the same person who wouldn't hesitate to ask for something after two years of silence, the same person who wouldn't give a single thought to the fact that I need to be at work by 8:00 am."

Before I Let You Go is a heartbreaking, emotional story that I absolutely devoured. There was so much going on and so much drama that I didn't want to put it down. The book starts out pretty intense and I quickly became involved with the characters and their lives.

Lexie gets an early morning call from her sister, a sister she pretty much raised growing up but hasn't heard from in over 2 years. She knows right away that her sister must be in trouble. That's when Lexie's world starts spinning out of control and as a reader, I experienced that chaos and drama, with so many ups and downs and questions, just like Lexie did.

This book will take you on an emotional roller-coaster ride but it's a ride that you are going to want to go on. I loved this book and I'll definitely be reading more books by this author!

I received an ARC of Before I Let You Go from Little Bird Publicity in exchange for my honest opinion.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? March 26, 2018


It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone.

**************************************

We had a pretty nice week and then  we got hit with a huge snowstorm. We ended up with 9-10 inches of that heavy, wet snow. And we also ended up with our 3 yo grandson for the weekend while his parents were out of town since we couldn't travel to take him to his aunt, which was the original plan. So, we were pretty much snowbound but I got very little, to no, reading done while he was here.  

It should start warming up, it is Spring, right? But it looks like we do have some more snow in the forecast early in the week. Ugh. I am so ready for some patio reading time. How about you? 

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a good week. Happy reading!
