Reality of Everything ~ Rebecca Yarros ~ New Release & Review

  THE REALITY OF EVERYTHING (Flight & Glory #5) by Rebecca Yarros 
Release Date: August 24th   

    
  AVAILABLE NOW!! 

    
  Blurb: Two years after the man she loved was killed in Afghanistan, Morgan Bartley is trying to put the pieces of her life back together. The reno on her dilapidated beach house in the Outer Banks might be just the distraction she needs to keep her debilitating anxiety attacks at bay and begin to heal her heart...if she can ignore the ridiculously handsome guy next door. At twenty-eight, single-dad Jackson Montgomery’s life revolves around his five-year-old daughter and his job as a search-and-rescue pilot for the coast guard. He’s no stranger to saving a damsel in distress, and though his gorgeous new neighbor is clearly in distress, she’s no damsel. She’s stubborn as hell with walls a mile thick, and the dog tags hanging from her rearview mirror give him a pretty good clue as to why. It doesn’t matter that their attraction is undeniable—she swore she’d never fall for another pilot, let alone a military man. There are some wounds time can’t heal, and some fears too consuming to conquer. She’s a barely breathing heartbreak on the edge of recovery. He’s a crash waiting to happen. Together they could have it all...if they can endure the coming storm.

Elizabeth's Review

4.5 stars - One of the Best


Review Copy Provided by Author


The Reality of Everything is one of those books where I wish “trust me, read this book” qualified as a review. But, since it doesn’t.....

This book is closely tied the the Flight and Glory series, which I haven’t read, but is very much a stand alone. I will say that having not read the Flight & Glory books had me a little nervous going into The Reality of Everything, but Ms Yarros creates an experience that can’t be missed.

Our main characters are Morgan and Jackson - both have history and baggage when they meet and become neighbors on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I found myself pulled into their interactions and budding friendship/non-relationship (to quote Morgan). These are people that I immediately liked and connected too. The secondary cast is entertaining (especially Jackson’s USCG team) and Miss Finely is a show stealer.

As for the story- well, that you get to read, but I will say that Ms Yarros deals with some pretty hefty subject matter here. We see our characters deal with grief, fear, determined exes, repairing friendships, and hurricanes. All of this is addressed with grace and empathy so that as a reader, we can relate to the characters struggles vs just watching them happen.

The Flight and Glory series has been on my TBR for a while and reading The Reality of Everything has definitely elevated them to be read sooner rather than later. As expected with Ms Yarros, this is a well written piece that pulls you in and doesn’t let go.
