Looks like a very interesting and inspiring story. Although, the title alone got me thinking that this book was going to be about self-acceptance. After reading the review, I felt the book was more about determination and mystery. I really love how aspects of suspense with the elements of 'spys' and 'secrets' were utilised throughout the book. This got me intrigued and I found myself wanting to read the book.

I love books that are motivational and educative at the same time. This seems like my kind of read. Can't wait to read it.

Thanks for your review. Ralph and Harvey sound like they will make a decent pair of writers. And it seems their interest in Franny will land them in some unwanted dangers.

As I read the sample, I like how Ralph remained firm in his decision to pursue his goals despite his parents' feedback. Dreamers who aspire to become successful artists and writers can relate to his situation. This is the kind of story I'm interested to read. Thanks for your review.

The themes that this novel discusses are not exactly what I want to read at the moment although I like how both the main characters are writers. Still, I congratulate the author for BOTD!

I'm not sure how the storyline matches the title, but I'm intrigued by the title, nonetheless; it captures one of my living principles.
Congratulations to the BOTD.

This seems like such an interesting book! It's a motivational book, but it's also about figuring out Government secrets, like it's a spy book. I wonder how it'll all fit. Guess I'll just have to read it myself

This book is about being oneself and bringing out the best in oneself. The official review was on the short side but it motivated me to add it to my reading list. The characters are focused on writing the best book they can. Good official review.

Personally, I was not a fan of Ralph's parents. I know that things get tough, but trying to convince your child to be mediocre is not very inspiring. However, there does seem to be riveting suspense regarding the Ukrainian involvement. Thanks for the review! :)

The author's writing style is wonderful. It truly did feel like I was listening in on Ralph and Harvey's lives and conversations. The theme is a well-used but worthy one - be yourself and always follow your dreams. Though it's outside my usual genres, I may just have to consider reading this one. Great job on the review!
