Muito clichê ruim, muito diálogo ruim e uma história mais ou menos, o final é bom.
Não entendi pq tanta gente fala tão bem desse livro!

Bis auf hier und da Dinge die in der Übersetzung nicht zu funktionieren scheinen einfach nur ein Herzbuch. Bis zu Kapitel 50 hätte ich auf 5 aufgerundet.

This is the second book by Brittainy Cherry that I have read. It certainly won't be the last.
You can feel the emotions of the characters on each page, I laughed and cried with them.
I didn't expect to like Disgrace as much as I liked Silent Waters, but I just fell in love.
Always and always. <3

Intense! Reading this book was like riding a rollercoaster, what a workout! This book is beautiful, complicated, deeply emotional and very moving. There are so many layers, many interpretations you can take from this book. It was a little heavy on emotions at times, but this is the kind of book I like, when the characters start broken and evolve, find forgiveness or redemption, then start fixing the cracks in their hearts.
Grace’s marriage to Finn broke under the pressure of too many miscarriages and their inability to unite under the grief. They drifted apart and the sale of their house broke the final tether that united them. She goes back home for the summer, reluctant to face the gossip mill of a little town, and worse, her mother. There are so many things to discuss about, like the idiosyncrasies of a southern small town that is dominated by a church, where the preacher and his family are like the town royalty. The preacher’s wife is like the queen of the town, epitomizing elegance, perfect behavior, the organizer of many charitable events, and a hypocrite in her soul. The charity, empathy, desire to see the good in others, desire to help those less fortunate is absent in this woman. The children of the preacher, dubbed PK (preacher’s kid), are expected to have perfect manners, above approach behavior, dress elegantly and decorously. Grace and her sister are under their mother’s thumb, who is a gracious socialite, but in the house is a controlling harridan. The father is kind but clueless about his wife’s machinations. She’s his rock, handles the church many activities and he relies on her, blindly.
Jackson is broken since he was a little boy. His mother left him and his father to run away with another man. His father succumbed under the grief and took to the bottle. Now dubbed Crazy Mike, he’s the town drunk, mocked, laughed at, abused by kids, abhorred by polite society. Nobody ever lifted a hand to help him or Jackson at their hour of grief. Jackson succumbed to drugs and his uncle came to town to help him rise above the wreckage of their life. Now they work in an auto shop and deal with Crazy Mike.
Grace broke when she learned that her husband cheated on her with her best friend and got her pregnant. Autumn gave Finn what she tried many times and failed at, a baby. Grace and Jackson met under the worst of circumstances but incredibly, they connected in their loneliness and despair. They gave each other hope and possibilities. Grace only felt complete when she was with Jackson, and Jackson learned to smile, laugh and joke with Grace. It was a summer of redemption and lust, and they filled each other’s voids of loneliness, support and hopelessness. And also great sex! They surged like a couple and it was grand to read about.
Everyone evolved in this book, there are a lot of surprises, and a feel good about the turns that life takes. Some characters had hidden depths that were only discovered when life turned everything upside down. I was enthralled by this book and it many nuances of emotions. It even made me cry many times, because it’s just so beautifully emotional. Not a beach read, but a great read for a rainy day.

Bu kitabın bookstagram şişirmesi olduğunu düşündüğüm için beklentisiz başlamıştım ancak ağır yanılmışım. O kadar güzel bir kendini bulma ve iyileşme hikayesiydi ki… ❤️
