Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins

DRB Reviews Reckless Girls...

​This is my letter R from my alphabet challenge!

I picked this book up at the thrift store one day and simply liked the summery cover. I am sure I read the synopsis before buying it, but I forgot what the book was about. I included it in my alphabet challenge because it had been sitting in my TBR pile for way too long. When I chose to read the letter R next, I decided to just open the book and discover the story, without reviewing the synopsis. This was the best decision I could have ever made because I flew into the unknown every time I turned the page.

Hawkins did not disappoint. Do you know when you are super sad to finish a book and you close it thinking, agh now what am I going to do with myself?  Reckless Girls was definitely one of those books. I was invested. Perhaps this is because I could relate with the main character so much. I know what it means to have huge loss, and to want to be whisked away and live in the "after" and not the "before." The joy to find someone to love and simply throw yourself into the relationship and just go with the flow; its whimsical thinking but perhaps glorious living.

Hawkins created a page turner that is for sure! I couldn't wait to read another page and my life seemed to be getting in the way. I think the next time I pick up a Hawkins novel, I am going to wait until I have a lot of time on my hands, so I can devour it in one sitting!
