You will think you are a good person until you read "A Rainbow like you" by Andréa Fehsenfeld.

Johnson had no one to go home to but at least he had his band or that was what he thought.

Andrea introduces a warm but private character with a truly altrusic nature in Johnson and draws out his battles or should I say his goodness. At a point, my heart broke for him. He was headed for disaster, I could see it. I wanted to help him. To stop his fall. I cried for him. I laughed.

A gripping read for good natured people or those who think they are.

A Rainbow Like You is an introduction to a new author for me, and I found joy in this writer’s storytelling.’ A captivating use of character.

Andrea Fehsenfeld tells a romantic story. In the beginning I thought that I was reading a youth novel. But as the plot unfolds, it becomes clear that this is a message to the adults: Never take anything for granted. And never forget that you are responsible for your destiny. “A Rainbow like you” is an entertaining read. Not too deep, but intense enough. I enjoyed the book, and would like to thank NetGalley for having made this review copy available to me.

This book is beautifully written, a sweet description of someone who has loved their life in the spotlight just as it all begins to unravel. I rooted for Adrian the entire novel, as well as for Hastings. A happy ending was well-deserved for all the characters in the novel - my one gripe is the Hastings didn’t get everything she deserved.

Gorgeous book, I really enjoyed it!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me access and advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest feedback.
