Review: The Year I Left by Christine Brae



I was really excited that I was able to receive a copy of this book for review. The synopsis sounded interesting and I loved the cover! I really enjoyed this story and will definitely be picking up more books from this author!

The story follows a women named Carin who seems to have it all. A loving husband, a great son, friends, family and an incredible job. But something is missing from her life and she can’t figure out what is it, but she knows she’s unhappy. When she meets a man names Matias everything changes. Just like the title says, Carin does in fact leave her life for a year. She becomes a completely different person!

While I am not a mother, I can’t imagine just picking up and leaving your entire life, especially if you have children. While this made me angry and made me want to drop a star in my rating, everything made sense in the end and I was very happy for it.

The writing is beautiful. You get a real sense for who Carin as a wife, mother, sister, daughter and person. I would recommend this book. You’ll feel like you are taking a break from your life for a few hours!
