I just finished the Rachel Incident this morning and had a difficult time focusing on my waffles with peanut butter, berries, and maple syrup because the ending bounced around so much I was forced to pay attention. And I loved that.
You know that here at With Mads I don’t like to delve too deep into a book. I like for my book recommendations to be short and simple, either you want to read it and you’re curious, or you’re not. I’m rewarding you long-form reading with a short-form recommendation.
Overview
So here’s the synopsis: a girl has a great guy friend and the two of them support each other through romantic relationships. The girl is looking back on their time together and how she used to be immature. There are unique characters and character growth that happens in the book. A solid 7/10.
It was worth the read and inspired me when it comes to my own book as far as dialogue and sentence structure. It also felt seamless the way the main character/narrator looked back on her younger self and previous experiences. Something that I’m also focused on right now!
I love when a book demands your attention, when you can’t do or think about anything else–you must focus on the words on the page, and as you do the words start to just become a story that seems already written in your mind. It’s like you’re not longer reading, but just knowing a story. And you can’t look away.
Go check it out!
The Rachel Incident was a book that draws on relationships; on the friendship type and the romantic one. The main character, Rachel, falls in love with men of the same name, but with totally different purposes.
So if you need an easy fall asleep read, go check out The Rachel Incident.
