Lean On Me by Nicola Haken Blog Tour My 5* Review + Giveaway

Rachel Mason oozes confidence. She’s outgoing, adventurous and would chop off her right arm before caring what other people think of her or her disability.

Right?

Jared Mattheson on the other hand, is more than a little goofy and a whole lot of carefree. He’s happy living the bachelor life on his father’s credit card, takes nothing seriously and wouldn’t know difficulty if it slapped him in the face.

Right?

With Emily and Dexter away in the States, Rachel and Jared are left behind to keep each other company. They share the same sense of fun, their personalities bounce off one another perfectly and perhaps inevitably, they become best friends. But what happens when the lines of friendship start to blur? How will they cope when the sides of themselves they’ve kept hidden from the world for so long begin to show?

Their journey together may have started with fun, games and alcohol – but it seems the future has other ideas.

Turns out, even the strongest of people need someone to lean on sometimes.

My Views:

Lean On Me is all about what is going on with Rachel and Jared whilst Emily and Dexter are in the States. I was so pleased when I found out that this book was dedicated to telling us their story because I found myself constantly thinking about the pair of them during Take My Hand and wondering what was going on with them.

I adore Rachel and Jared, their banter had me absolutely cracked up throughout the book and I really enjoyed seeing how their relationship developed. There are a couple of parts in this story that also had me reaching for the tissues though. Nicola Haken doesn't gloss over the fact that Rachel is disabled and she faces all the complications this causes head on which makes this book so much more believable.

I have absolutely fallen in love with these books and their characters. For me each book in this series has gotten better than the last and I cannot wait to see what surprises the next one brings!

I Give Lean On My 5 BIG BOOK LOVE STARS!

When she is not busy playing with her imaginary book friends (or talking about them with real life friends!) she can usually be found studying or carrying out her ordinary mum/housewife/all round slave duties!
