I Let Her Go by J.A. Andrews

-


I Let Her Go is JA Andrews’ fourth novel out now in the UK. It is the story of Lucy and Amber, who are both teenage girls in foster care. Lucy and Amber bonded over the shared hate of their foster mother then Amber goes missing. Fast forward fifteen years and a body is found in the woods where Lucy and Amber used to go. Is it Amber?



This story is told from multiple POV and timelines. The story will go from the present to the past in order to provide more context. What I liked best about this book was the surprises that keep coming. Lucy is close to marrying Josh, a foster boy who lived with Amber and Lucy for a short time. The missing body makes everyone question what happened to Amber and who did it to her. It also shows the relationship between Josh and Lucy, which is not the healthiest relationship.

The story has a very unexpected ending for me. This is a darker story dealing with drugs, psychological control, and suicidal thoughts. These did not affect my reading but it is something to be aware of in case these are triggers for you.

This is my first book by JA Andrews (not be confused with J.A. Andrews) and I am interested in reading more. Mr. Andrews has published all of his books recently and hopefully keeps telling stories! I greatly appreciate Rachel's Random Resources for this blog tour invitation and for introducing me to a new author.

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle. The ease of poetry and vibrant il

Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources for putting together this virtual book tour! About the Book: For Iris , each visit to her mother in St Mabon’s Cove, Cornwall has been the same – a serene escape from the city. But today, as she breathes in the salt air on the doorstep of her beloved childhood home, a heavy weight of anticipation settles over her. Iris knows she’s adopted, but any questions about where she came from have always been shut down by her parents, who can’t bear to revisit the past. Now, Iris can’t stop thinking about what she’s read on the official paperwork: BABY GIRL, FRANCE, 1939 – the year war was declared with Nazi Germany. When Iris confronts her mother, she hits the same wall of pain and resistance as whenever she mentions the war. That is, until her mother tearfully hands her an old tin of letters, tucked neatly beside a delicate piece of ivory wool. Retreating to the loft, Iris steels herself to at last learn the truth, however painful it might be. Bu
