![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She’s letting the past eat away at her-he’s moving on and away from it. The juxtaposition between the bad stuff that happened to Ryan and the bad stuff that happened to Carly is extremely well done.It’s a novel of someone who’s had a bad thing happen and is dealing with it in the best way she knows. This could be an “issue book,” but this isn’t at all.Given that it was a tremendous pain in the ass to acquire this book, the bar had been set pretty pretty high-and it certainly met those standards, and will be permanently filed under “True Book Love.” ![]() I’m not even sure how to begin a review of this Raw Blue-this is the kind of novel that makes me feel like I should start a book blog to tell the world about the amazing books* they’re missing. This is the first in an ongoing series entitled “I Love,” in which we profess our love and devotion for books, authors, themes or anything else bookish we love. I left in the off-handed comment from my original review about starting a book blog for the laughs (I believe I made the same comment in my Goodreads review of Freefall, mentioned early in this review). This is a hard book to acquire, but if you love high quality, contemporary fiction that tackles tough issues, it will be well worth your while. Editor’s Note: I reviewed this novel on Goodreads last year, and refreshed it for Clear Eyes, Full Shelves-because Raw Blue is such an important book. ![]()
