![]() ![]() Zielin’s writing is so beautiful, subtle, and profound that it catches you completely off-guard until suddenly you’re hurting for Jane just as much as she is. ![]() I really understood these characters, despite their different situations from my own, and I feel as if their stories are imprinted in me somehow. Yet, the whole time she’s there, Jane can’t help but question if she’s made the right choice, why her brother abandoned her and her mother, if her mother needs professional help, or most importantly if she is the one who needs help too.Īs far as contemporary novels go, I absolutely loved this book. ![]() Thus, she decides to join her elder brother, Ethan, while he storm-chases and get away from her mother. When Jane’s mother drives drunk, nearly killing herself, Jane, and Jane’s best friend Cat, Jane is forced to accept that her mother has a serious alcoholic problem. If anything, The Waiting Sky truly surprised me with its depth, unique take on alcoholism, and more than anything else, its character-driven plot. ![]() In fact, I think it’s such a perfect cover because this novel itself has a feel of such deep sadness to it, but it thankfully never becomes overwhelming. While I was definitely intrigued by the unique premises of this novel, its cover really drew me in with its desperation and overall feel of melancholy. I have to admit it: I only picked up The Waiting Sky because of its cover. ![]()
