Clare Hobbes goes into her wedding weekend with serious doubts and jitters about her pending nuptials to Zach. But it wasn't until the morning of her wedding that she comes across an elderly woman, Edith, in the garden of their hotel. Their brief conversation gave Clare the insight and courage she needed to do what she should have done a long time ago. She called off the wedding. After calling off the wedding Clare is left feeling a bit unsettled, even though she has moved back with her family. She is trying to figure out what her next steps will be when she receives notice that the kind Edith has passed away and has left Clare an incredible gift, Blue Sky House, a beach house on the coast of Delaware. The gift turns out to be so much more than a house. Blue Sky House is a unique testament to Edith's love story with her late husband, Joseph. And it just reinforces Clare's decision to call off the wedding. In her early days at Blue Sky House Clare discovers that there is more to Edith's story than she thought and Edith has left her just enough information to send Clare and her oldest friend, Dev, on a hunt to find out the real history of Blue Sky House. And in the process, she may just learn a little bit about herself and what happiness looks like in her life.
I really, really enjoyed I'll Be Your Blue Sky. Clare seems like the kind of person that I would welcome into my life. She is kind, part of a big and loud family, and she is a reader. She even talks about having to hide her current read from Zach because he always wanted to read what she was reading and she hated that because sometimes the books you read are personal and just not something you want to share. With anybody. I loooved that! It was proof that Clare (and her author) get what some books mean to readers. Zach was a big giant douche trying to hide the fact that he is a douche, but all it took was a few slips in his carefully crafted facade to cause Clare to question whether Zach was really going to be the right one for her. The author alternates the story between Clare's story and Edith's story and there is a surprising way that they are connected. CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS At the end Clare (and the reader) realize that while her life may not have turned out as she had expected, but she was going to be just fine.
Bottom Line - I'll Be Your Blue Sky is an incredible story about the resiliency of two special women and the special house that connected them more than fifty years apart.
