Thanks, Stephen!

I’m really drawn to the way it captures the confusion and pressure of early adulthood—something so many of us wrestle with. I’d love to read it. Thank you for the informative review!

Thanks, Magdalyne!

The long sentences in 'Shifting Tides' might be a reflection of the Journeyman's state of mind. Your honest review is valued and respected. I hope the author will use this critique to enrich the book further.

I appreciate your views on the usage of long sentences. You are right about mental clarity. Thanks for reading my review and sharing your comments!

The book sounds relatable and deep, especially for those facing adulthood struggles. I like the theme, but the complex language, repetition, and editing issues make me hesitate. Still, I might give it a try for its message. Thanks for sharing the wonderful review.

For a moment, I felt like this book could be a bunch of poems. Did that thought occur to you?
When it's random nibblings about life, I feel poetry would be more apt when you're reflecting about life and overthinking the should have -could haves.
This book piqued my interest though, and I hope the author heeds your critical feedback.
Thanks for sharing the review!

No, Neha. It didn't feel like a poem. Try this book and share what you think about it!
