Nice review. This sounds like an interesting story with a “life is not as much about the destination but more about the journey” with a message about the importance of love, family, friends and lovers alike. Thanks for sharing.

This sounds like a true-to-life work of fiction and I think the central underlying theme of love is beautiful, as is Charles' vulnerability and generosity. I'm afraid I wouldn't choose to read this in its current edition due to the errors. Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the review, the book sounds interesting and I love the premise of the book about the varieties of love and importance of trust. The grammatical error however could hinder a smooth read.

The plot is an interesting one despite the old style cover. The reviews talk about trust which is hard to give nowadays, so I will be putting this among the soon-to-be read in my bookshelves. Congrats!

Post by CrescentMoon »

This story definitely seems like there is a lot of growth and character development. It's sad that there are so many grammatical errors but I'm sure once it's proofread and edited better, the book will be much better. I'm curious what the twists and turns are and how the car connects Karen and Charles. Great and thorough review!

I am eager to know what the journalist's findings were. The many surprises in the story make it sound interesting. Too bad for the grammatical errors. Thanks for the review.

A rather interesting story. I wonder what is in this man's secret life that makes him want it only shared after his demise. Well, this is a book I plan to read.

It is my hope that the errors will be taken care of when a second edition will be published.
Thanks for your insightful review.

Sometimes, we fail to take note of how important it is to prioritize the people we say we love until it's too late and the damage is done. A book that highlights that importance isn't one to be joked with. Thanks for the review.
