Hey y’all, time for another book review! We’re excited to present you with a review of The Colors of Rain by Abigail Hayven reviewed for you by Kayti! This book is a beautiful pro-life story with an ending that will destroy you…and Kayti’s still not sure if she likes that or not. XD

The Review:

Oh my goodness… honestly, I thought this book would be good, but I saw a spoiler on a writing group I’m in and was so afraid to read it because…well, said spoiler was sad.

But then two of my friends just kept talking about the book so I took the plunge and bought it, kept it on my shelf for 2 months and finally worked up the courage to face that spoiler head on…I was no prepared for how beautiful this book is!

Characters:

Evan is one of the MCs, and he’s such a dear guy, so broken and hurting. I loved him even though he didn’t like books…lol…he was too endearing, too precious for me to dislike him.

Rain was another MC, and she stole my heart! Her fear of change reseaonates deeply with me, I think because so much of the change in my life, and hers, has been negative, so it makes you not want anything to change. To stop time or stay in Neverland, as Rain says. I loved her and the whole plot of the book and just…ack!

Jordan…guys, my heart hurt for this girl. For the brokenness of her home, for the fact that she felt like she had to hold everyone together. To the ending of this book… everything. Yet, I love her journey through the story, and as Evan says, at one point, her perspective was needed.

Themes:

The value of life, the reality of grief, the devastation that abortion can cause on not only the mother but everyone in her life. The healing power of God through the trials of life. Guys, my heart is so full right now… honestly, no words!

Language:

N/A

Romance:

Budding, but just crushes, really. Some mild flirting that is so totally adorable because…well, that’s a spoiler.

Overall:

This book is GORGEOUS! It’s beautiful and everyone should read it… everyone. I loved it. I loved the classics incorporated. I loved the fact that Rain paints her hand every day. I love that Evan notices so much.

I love that the value of life is brought out. That grief is addressed as the monster it is, that pain isn’t shied away from, and just…ack…everything.

I can’t properly word how much I love this book.

Recommended for ages 15+… Now do yourself a favor and go read this beautiful, heartbreaking, gorgeous story!
