Overview

If you had asked me a year ago where I might see myself today, my prediction would not have been this. After thirteen years of a sometimes rocky relationship, Liberty and Adam finally are ready to start the rest of their lives together. Their careers are taking off, their savings are full and plans to ring wedding bells are in process. Then one day Adam makes a shattering revelation: he has a life-threatening illness, and there's a high probability that Liberty has it too. This revelation will change their lives, and the lives of their loved ones, forever. Distraught, Liberty finds her way to her childhood home, to her private Thinking Log, to contemplate what this means for her life and to determine a plan to move forward, with or without Adam, no matter what her diagnosis reveals. This moment of contemplation has consequences she couldn't possibly imagine. In it's aftermath, lies are exposed, truths are revealed, and we see their relationship in a whole new light.

"""Beautifully written, unique story. I didn't expect many of the twists and found them perfectly embedded into the storyline. The author does a splendid job on character development, I truly felt as if I knew each one. A very enjoyable, mellow story. A definite 4 out of 5 stars."" --BL Bradley ""In The Thinking Log, Rachel Gauna tells an emotional story of lies and consequences that should resonate with all of us who have lived through these superficial times. Her characters remind us of people we know and love- and of ourselves- existing at the flash points of the culture and dealing with the manners in which the truthiness and ironies of our age intrude into and shatter ordinary lives. Rachel's novel gives us a significant and honest reckoning of the ways in which our little betrayals add up and lead to tragedy. Comfortable at times, then harrowing, The Thinking Log is like an old and familiar blanket soaked in chemicals we love to smell, yet carcinogenic over time."" --B. Cochran ""A beautifully written and compelling novel about love, trust and betrayal. The author presents an intricate and unique story and brings the characters to life with her carefully crafted dialogue. I particularly enjoyed the author's informal writing style, which made this book a breeze to read. I quickly found myself despising Adam and empathizing with Liberty (when I wasn't frustrated by her naivety!). I also loved Liberty's dad, Karl. I highly recommend this novel to anyone looking for a thought-provoking read. I feel this book would be of particular interest to book clubs, as it is sure to spark some interesting discussions. It would also be a great resource for raising awareness among young adults of the importance of developing and maintaining healthy relationships through transparency and effective communication. Tip: If you pick up this book (and I hope you do!), make sure you read it from start to finish. Don't read the author's note at the end as it does give some of the plot away! Disclaimer: I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway and this is my honest review."" --Lisa"
