Drops of Rain

Hale Brothers Series, Book 1

By: Kathryn Andrews

Narrated by: Virginia Rose, Brandon Utah

Ali Rain: Sometimes I think to myself, "How did I get here?" Then the pain hits and I remember...it's because she's gone. I now live in a new town, go to a new school, and I'm supposed to be moving on with my new life. Only, I no longer know who I am anymore. Dancing is all I have left and every day I feel completely alone. Silence has become the theme song to my life. She said to find some joy and light, but I don't know how. Mostly, I feel surrounded in darkness...that is, until I meet him.

Drew Hale: I have only one goal, in 298 days I'm going to drive away from this small beach town and never return. People are always watching me closely, too close, and I'm tired of wearing a mask. I need to be free. Swimming is my ticket out of here and I remind myself daily to fly under the radar, stick to my routine, and under no circumstances let anything distract me. I'm not as perfect as they think, most days I am drowning in guilt. I'm not sure I will ever be able to escape the feelings of shame, worthlessness, and just being unwanted...that is, until I meet her.

Contains mature themes.

Great read

I loved how the story continued with each brother I love series reading it kept you in suspense and also shows what your love is

Cute love story

I was captivated by the couples love story and was happy for their ending. It’s not much suspense and narration is ok, The most I can say is it was cute.

Tragic and sweet love

I didn’t expect such a deep heartfelt book both free and based in high school but Ali & Drew both had such hardships in their lives and to find each other and overcome them together was beautifully emotional

Great story, better to read it

I loved the story, but the narrator choices semi-ruined it for me. The female comes across as very automated when she reads, and the male comes across as too juvenile.

Too young for my taste

Although I didn’t finish, I don’t love high school drama. It may have progressed in later chapters.
