Secrets ruin lives, and lies protect those secrets…

Wanting to escape her life in New York City before starting medical school in the fall, Anna Dillon convinces her best friend Dante to travel with her to Thailand on a medical mission. While volunteering in a coastal village recently ravaged by a tsunami, Anna meets Jude Grayson. They share an instant attraction that leads to a brief, passionate affair. When she has to rush home for a family emergency, he promises to stay in touch.

But Jude never calls, and Anna tries desperately to forget him.

Five years pass, and Anna finally moves on with Dante after giving up hope that Jude will ever return—until they come face to face again in a chance encounter. Reeling, Anna discovers the life-altering secret of why Jude never contacted her—and why they can’t be together. But the passion that ignited between them on an exotic beach years ago never died, making it impossible to stay away from each other.

And Dante? Anna discovers that the friend she grew to love—and trust—has a secret of his own.

REVIEW


In this life is a story full of twists and turns. It's a story that will leave you wondering where you are being led next and might even have you questioning if you like the direction things are going or not.

This story took me on a journey, one that I somewhat expected but one that also surprised me. I wasn't sure how to feel about the characters sometimes but was hooked on the story and had to continue. I love when books pull me into the story and make me feel, be it laughter or sadness, confusion or any other feeling. This book both sucked me in and had me feeling lots of things, more than that it kept me on edge trying to figure things out.

This was my first book by Christine Brae and her writing style workedwell for me, making me want to read more.

cb_about-the-author

author-picture

Christine Brae is a full time career woman who thought she could write a book about her life and then run away as far as possible from it. She never imagined that her words would touch the hearts of so many women with the same story to tell. That’s what happened with her first book, The Light in the Wound (2013). Christine followed that title with His Wounded Light and then Insipid (2014). In This Life (Vesuvian Books) is her fourth book. The traditionally published title has already been optioned for Film/TV.

When not listening to the voices in her head or spending late nights at the office, Christine can be seen shopping for shoes and purses, running a half marathon or spending time with her husband and three children in Chicago. .
