Becoming YouFebruary, 2017
Airlie Porter has a secret. A deep, dark, destructive secret that threatens to engulf her if she can’t find the courage to face who she really is and who she really wants to be with.
On a working holiday in Ireland, Airlie finds herself embarking on much more than a drunken year guzzling Guinness in Dublin. The previously protected bubble of denial, harbored deep within her, has threatened to pop for many years, but after a harrowing experience in a Dublin bar, the bubble violently explodes. Lost and alone, she turns to Olivia Swanson, the only person she’s ever truly loved. Married and unsettled, Olivia has her own demons to battle. Drawn together by something inexplicable, pulled apart by fear, how long does it take to become you? Reviews for BECOMING YOUA truly exceptional read.
By Netgalley.com on Jan 27, 2017 12:01 ‘Becoming You’ is one of those novels that you don’t want to let go. Even though I knew what I wanted to happen to Airlie, I didn’t want it to finish. This book packs an emotional punch and I needed to sit and ponder what exactly I was feeling. ...Airlie’s story is of finding out who and what she is. It is about accepting herself. People have to be true to themselves and decide to be happy. Michelle Grubb has written a sexy and powerfully emotional tale that had me entranced. It was passionate and gut-wrenching at times but so uplifting and beautiful too. If you’re not in tears at some point I’d be surprised. A truly exceptional read.

I really enjoyed following Airlie's journey which had me riding the wave of her emotional self-discovery. Airlie was a great main character who was realistic and likable. I thought all the secondary characters were a perfect fit for Airlie and the story. I struggled to put this book down even during the very difficult times. ...this was a fantastic book. I found it emotionally gripping with a great story line and characters. Reviewed by Catherine Cheong |
