written by Leigh Talbert Moore
published by Leigh Talbert Moore
find it here: Barnes & Noble, Amazon, iBooks, Goodreads
About the book: Ashley wants to smash everything in her once-perfect life.
Charlotte wants to walk in Ashley’s seemingly charmed shoes.
Colt wants to turn Smalltown USA on its ear—with Ashley at his side.
Jordan wants to follow his heart…
But Ashley’s the one sacrifice he never expected to make.
Up until now, Ashley Lockett’s followed the rules. She’s always done the right thing, played it safe, gone to church. Then her ideal life is torn apart when her dad dies suddenly.
Now she’s miserable and furious, and she makes a vow not to believe in anything. She’s on a mission to do everything opposite of how she lived before—rejecting safety, the rules, faith…
And then she meets Jordan.
Jordan has big dreams, he’s a great kisser, and he wants to help her through her grief. He also believes in everything Ashley now claims to hate.
Then she meets Colt. He is not safe. And he’s ready to help Ashley fulfill her mission.
Every Free Chance Book Reviews is pleased to share this guest post by Leigh Talbert Moore about how she got the idea for The Truth About Letting Go. Enjoy!
So I started The Truth About Letting Go back in 2010 right after I finished The Truth About Faking.
It was back when Patrick Swayze got cancer and died so fast. Remember that? Well, for whatever reason, that incident started my writerly wheels turning…
I started thinking about major shocks like losing a spouse or a parent and how different people deal with trauma differently.
Some people withdraw, some people soldier on like nothing happened, and then some people get really mad and start acting out.
That’s where the story starts.
Ashley’s the daughter left behind, and in her case, her dad was a writer for a national health magazine–a modified stay-at-home dad. So they were extra-close.
Her mom withdraws into her own world of grief, her brother goes back to college, and Ashley’s left all alone, hurting and angry. And since her dad was a local celebrity, she gets to deal with her grief in front of a large audience.
She doesn’t deal very well.
She’s edgy, and she keeps having urges to break things. One reader-reviewer said she was like the female version of the bad-boy. I guess that’s a good description.
Anyway, so The Truth About Letting Go is a companion to Faking, but it’s not a sequel. The books can be read out of order. It just takes place in the same location and has some of the same characters.
