Graye was a troubled person, I really would like to know where the idea for this book came from, it was a very different read, it kept me wanting to know what was going to happen, why things were happening. Very good read.
This book was a story of hurt, mental illness,family and how women put up with things just to have someone in their lives. They missed what they could have had because they settled for whatever reason. I couldn't believe it ended the way it did but one thing good came out of it, the relationship between Angelette and Jen Pearl.
This book haunts me. There are so many layers to each character and it makes the story of Graye McAdams rich like expensive chocolate. Two things drew me to this books, one, Deborah Mello is a wordsmith! And the book opens at a birthday party where Graye shoots his best and only friend.
Mello weaves a story that tugs at every emotion. Kudos to Deborah for a great read.
Grays is an emotional story that expounds on various attitudes and ways. It took me thru a gamut of reactions and kept me on edge. This is an awesome story! #readingandreviewingchallenge
