Review: Watch Me Unravel (Blue Is The Colour Series Book 2) by Julia Wolf

Watch Me Unravel by Julia Wolf
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Having a Grown Up Relationship

Julia Wolf writes fantastic romance novels that happen to be about rock stars. The fame and fortune part of the stories seem to be incidental the relationships and I quite like that. This book is actually about what happens away from the touring, interviews etc whilst the band is on hiatus for a while.

David is a bit of a ass. He likes to wind people up, he’s pretty selfish and a bit lazy. However, he’s a talented musician, really cares about the people he loves, even if he’s rubbish at doing the hard work usually, and he loves deeply.

David has a 15 year old daughter. She was the product of a one night stand. Though he adores his daughter he has never done the hard work of being a parent until he got a phone call telling him his daughter had been in accident.

The accident forces Sylvia, his daughter's mother, to take up David’s offer of staying with him because he doesn’t have stairs and they can care for their daughter together at his house. Forcing the family together for the very first time is eye opening for all concerned.

It felt like the main theme of this book was parental redemption. It was about people who had been rubbish parents but were trying to get their act together, or had already done so. It talks about the sacrifices parents make for their children and how good people can be poor parents if circumstances make them that way. This is not purely about David, but also about how Sylvia, David and his band mates were raised.

This is a complex story of parenting, love and making of families. It’s about making decisions to work hard at relationships to make them succeed and make your loved ones happy. Once again Julia Wolf writes multi-faceted characters who are believable and engaging and then sets them up in unusual situations for us to be captivated. She does write very good romantic fiction .
