Review by Booklover Becca -- Kalayla by Jeannie Nicholas

[Becca Olsson]

I also enjoyed the book very much! I loved the dynamic between Kalayla and Lena because it is so authentic and representative. You have written a lovely review!

I completely agree! Especially since we can see what each of them is thinking, although there were times when I wanted to shake Kalayla a little and tell her she doesn’t know everything. But Lena handled her and her attitude so well

You won’t go wrong with this one!

I loved this book for the social vices and struggles it potrayed. I also loved it for all the positive values it preached. Thank you for this nice and detailed review.

Losing your husband and your two sons can be quite traumatic and I can only imagine the pain Lena had to go through. Great review.

I never picked this novel, as it's not my kind of story, but I read only positive reviews, so it must be terrific. Thank you for your great review!

Beautiful bonds form in most cases. And it sounds like a great story. I liked that the author touched upon the topics like race and PTSD. Thank you for a wonderful review!

I enjoyed this book too! All of their intervening life paths certainly helped them form formidable and everlasting bonds. The author effectively touched on many difficult topics and themes throughout. Thank you for sharing your review!

Although it seems difficult at times, I still like the book because it has a good dose of reality.

The characters in this book seem to have gone through it all. However, it is lovely to read how they become a pseudo-family as they all process their traumas. Thank you for your lovely review!

[Saint Bruno]

I love how this book promotes the fact that family is not only by blood. I enjoyed reading your insightful review. Thanks

Thanks for your interesting review. This sure is a well-written book. While the ending is classical and predictable, I'm glad that all is well that ends well.
