THIS QUOTE FITS THIS STORY PERFECTLY, HERE IS MY REVIEW:
Crying In The Rain : By Debbie McGowan
reviewed by: Becky
For many years, Ade Simmons has been an outsider, trapped in an abusive relationship, seeking sanctuary in his job as a radio producer, and in the checklists he makes in an attempt to regain control of his sorry excuse of a life.
Actor Kris Johansson is patient, gentle and passionate—everything that Ade’s ex-boyfriend is not. When Kris takes a role in one of Ade’s plays, the attraction is mutual and instant. It is the turning point for Ade. He can either stay on the same path, with Fergus—the bully who has repressed, used and isolated him from his friends and family—or he can look in the other direction, towards Kris—the handsome actor with family and friends who readily accept him.
But Fergus will not give up his punchbag so easily—can Ade finally find the strength to fight back?
I have heard that you love or hate this authors writing style, well I for one love it! Debbie McGowan, is gritty, raw and painfully honest where her characters are concerned. She does not promise that her story's will always be rosy, these books are written in the vein of true life, and life is not all about wine and roses. I love how this book takes you on a journey, a sometimes painful, sometimes joyful, stripped down journey of one mans assent from darkness. Take this journey from the darkness to the light with Ade, you will be forever glad you did! Thanks Debbie, for giving us a wonderful read, and doing it with style! *5 Stars*

LET'S GET TO KNOW DEBBIE AND SOME OF HER BOOKS! :)
Debbie McGowan is an author and publisher based in a semi-rural corner of Lancashire, England. She writes character-driven fiction, covering life, love, relationships—the whole shazam. A working class girl, she ‘ran away’ to London at seventeen, was homeless, unemployed and then homeless again, interspersed with animal rights activism (all legal, honest ;)) and volunteer work as a mental health advocate. At twenty-five, she went back to college to study social science—tough with two toddlers, but they had a ‘stay at home’ dad, so it worked itself out. These days, the toddlers are young women (much to their chagrin), and Debbie teaches undergraduate students, writes novels and runs an independent publishing company, occasionally grabbing an hour of sleep where she can!
