Envy The Rain

By Jamie Boud

From the gritty streets of New York to the rain-soaked alleys of Amsterdam, the wild corners of Paris, and the quiet beauty of the Irish countryside, Envy the Rain follows the raw, often darkly funny journey of 38-year-old Drew-a gifted but lost artist reeling from heartbreak and trying to make sense of life, love, and everything in between.

After discovering that Andie-his girlfriend of eighteen years-has been cheating on him with a New York firefighter, Drew's world collapses. The signs were there: Andie's spiral from ambitious fashion designer to hardened stripper, her late nights and reckless choices. But nothing prepares him for the brutal reality of betrayal.

What follows is an intimate, self-deprecating odyssey narrated with the candor of a late-night confession. As Drew stumbles through a maze of reformed strippers, expats, Parisian socialites, internet dates, and New York fashionistas, we can't help but root for him to find "the one." But maybe the person he truly needs to find is himself.

Envy the Rain is a wry and wistful meditation on heartbreak, masculinity, and the winding road to self-redemption.
