Praise for Beat The Rain
Semi-Finalist, Goodreads Choice Awards
Best Debut Author
Beat The Rain is an unforgettable story of love and loss propelled by blockbuster twists. Cooper has a rare knack for presenting flawed characters and their grubby domestic lives… Haunting, touching and at times lyrical, Beat The Rain will undoubtedly draw comparisons with bestseller thrillers such as Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and Girl on The Train by Paula Hawkins.
–Love Reading
Beat The Rain is a gripping and twisting tale of a dysfunctional couple whose inexorable domestic disintegration is mirrored in their mental collapse with tragic consequences. It’s not difficult to understand why this novel has been gathering glowing praise…A triumph in its narrative style… A kitchen sink drama for the 21st century. A unique love – or better, a ‘fall out of love’ story – set in the cracks of the grimy every day, this psychological thriller is a rollercoaster of a read.
