Twenty six year old Shoshana Thompson, from Iowa, finds
herself engaged to the last single brother of Washington D.C.’s influential
Walsh family. Now that she is engaged
she has to learn to adjust to a privileged life style. She also has to figure out how to live with
Drew’s secretive job and life. Can she
accept not really knowing what he is doing?
Will she be ok with him being gone traveling all the time?
Shoshana , or Sho, also has to figure out her true
feelings. Her feelings for another man
are growing and he has returned those feelings, but can she walk away from Drew
for this other man. She knows it would
shatter the lives of both men and her own future.
When I picked up this 600 page novel, I was a little
apprehensive. Thinking wow that is a lot
of reading. Now that I am done with the
novel I wish there was more, a lot more.
I loved that this was a story of family, in-laws, and love. Drew’s mother, Birdie, and all his brothers
and sister-in-laws all accepted Sho, even with her not being as wealthy and
glamorous as the rest of them. I loved
that they did not judge her and actually too her under their wings, showing her
the hows of the Walsh Family. I feel like
Sho was tougher and more critical of herself that anyone else in the family was.
Drew, the fiancée, was a character I had a hard time
with. All his secrets and seemingly
uncaring responses to Sho made me shake my head and wish for something more for
Sho. His wealth, high profile job, and
influential family make him seem like the perfect catch, but I am still not
convinced their marriage will last.
Finally, the ending of the novel…All I can say is so not
expected. But I am happy to report that
the author is going to give me more.
Another novel about the Walsh’s is in the works. Do not pass up the opportunity to read this
novel. You will not regret the time you
spend reading Becoming Mrs. Walsh.
