It is realistic in the sense of paranormal activity and how paranormal happenings can and do present themselves.
It is unrealistic in regards to reincarnation. Reincarnation is basically the same soul going into different bodies, so that same soul cannot be in multiple different places at once, unless it is a spirit or act stuck on repeat, which has a specific name of its own.

Hi bookowlie! I agree with you that Alex unrealistically accepted Angela's experiences about past-life regression. In addition to Alex's quick acceptance, I thought that Belle Ami also revealed Scordato's intent too early in the story; and as a result of the author's two choices, the plot was slightly rushed. If Ami's objective was to write a fun and short read in just 240 pages, however, she did a great job!bookowlie wrote: ↑01 Jun 2018, 09:32 The concept of past-life regression is prevalent in this story. Was it handled in a realistic way or did it verge into fantasy? When the man's eyes started moving in the painting, I have to admit I started rolling my eyes. I also thought Alex was too quick to take Angela's experiences as fact.
On a slightly different note, the author could have incorporated discovering a journal or other artifacts instead of using past-life regression to reveal the characters' past lives. In doing so, Ami might improve the believably of the story; but the book will lose additional originality and become even more similar to a Korean drama series called Saimdang.

I agree with you, it would have had more credibility if the past life episodes had been more detailed and spread over a larger space of time.cristinaro wrote: ↑04 Jun 2018, 06:55 Well, the past-life interludes were not exactly realistic to me. In many instances, I had the impression Alex treated everything too carelessly and light-heartedly. Besides, he does not seem to have any problem in Angela kissing him during her trance episodes. Did you notice that the action takes place between August 3 and September 15? Let's say they were lovers in other lives and their instant connection is explainable as such. However, there are too many things happening too fast over a very short period of time. I would have liked the past-life episodes to be much more detailed for the story to gain credibility.
