Synopsis: Since We Fell follows Rachel Childs, a former journalist who, after an on-air mental breakdown, now lives as a virtual shut-in. In all other respects, however, she enjoys an ideal life with an ideal husband. Until a chance encounter on a rainy afternoon causes that ideal life to fray. As does Rachel’s marriage. As does Rachel herself. Sucked into a conspiracy thick with deception, violence, and possibly madness, Rachel must find the strength within herself to conquer unimaginable fears and mind-altering truths. By turns heart- breaking, suspenseful, romantic, and sophisticated, Since We Fell is a novel of profound psychological insight and tension. It is Dennis Lehane at his very best

Review: Again, another DNFed book. I tried to read this one and I thought I would like it, but I just couldn’t get into it. I DNFed it about 100 pages in. The book is very well detailed, but I can’t get over how the first part of the book focuses on the characters backstory and you won’t see the plot in the synopsis until about the middle of the book. This is way too much for me. I didn’t want an autobiography of the main character, I wanted to know about her mental illness.

Verdict: If you can get into it, it’s a great read.
