I really enjoy Kelly Rimmer's books. This is the 3rd one I have read. I borrowed this book using the Libby app and when the book version was due back, I went ahead and finished with the audio version. I liked this book, and the only reason I did not give it 4 stars is because the ending of story was ruined for me when I went to the index to see how many chapters were left. To prevent this from happening to someone else, let me tell you that instead of the usual numbers throughout the book, at the end there are 2 actual titles that tell a very big spoiler of part of the story's ending. There are 41 numbered chapters and 2 with titles. Until that point, I was really enjoying this book a lot. I would recommend it to those who have a loved one who struggles with chemical addiction or is dealing with this themselves. Keep the tissue nearby as you read this.
A beautifully poignant story about sisters Lexie and Annie, the trials of their upbringing, drug addiction and a baby.
Read this in one evening.
I wouldn't have finished this book if it wasn't for it being a book club pick. The books was predictable and boring. I just started reading “Love Warrior” by Glennon Doyle Melton and it seems like a semi-similar story except for the fact that Glennon's book is a memoir. I'd recommend a nonfiction story about addiction to anybody considering reading this “Before I Let You Go”. (Though it does have a 4+ star rating, so perhaps I am completely off... or I just read a lot more than most, so I have more books to compare it to? Who knows. Who cares. Moving on.)
