About this ebook

New York Times bestselling author Molly McAdams delivers another heart-wrenching, emotional novel in her Thatch series…

After her first love was ripped from her grasp four years earlier, Charlie Easton was sure she would never be able to trust anyone with the shattered pieces of her heart again. That is, until Deacon Carver forces himself into her life, and makes those pieces swirl in chaos. But Charlie doesn't know how to let him in… until a stranger stumbles upon a notebook filled with her innermost secrets, and shows her how.

Deacon Carver is known for sleeping his way through the town of Thatch, as well as the surrounding cities—something he used to take pride in. But that persona has haunted Deacon ever since he decided to leave that life behind for the girl he wants more than anything: Charlie Easton.

But when another girl falls into Deacon's life, allowing him to be himself without judgment for his past, will their conversations hinder his relationship with Charlie … even if he's never seen her?

Ratings and reviews

I love Molly's books, but I felt I was missing a little something with Deacon and Charlie toward the end and it broke my heart that Charlie's son was in the mix. I wanted Charlie to be less weak and Deacon to figure out how heart sooner. I've read a book similar to this in that two people get together but have a side person they text and have an emotional connection to. This was better than that one, but I couldn't give it a 5... Can't wait for the next book. Thank you for being reasonably priced.

Stories with first person narrative make for powerful storytelling. It allows the reader to experience the events in the characters lives almost first hand. For that reason, Show Me How is impacting because the ability to empathize and understand Charlie's grief and self doubt as well as Deacon's journey from playboy to changed man are more relatable. There is no handy pocketbook to show the way to travel through tragedies, obstacles and growing as a person. We're all winging it, learning as we go and hoping we get it right. Show Me How is about owning choices we make and gaining knowledge from the past to help create a better person.

I love this Thatch Series! I like how all the characters know each other. Molly you made me cry, laugh, and fall in love with books again! Love all your books 😍😏
