I Can Still Hear You by Nicole Black followed the adventure of Scarlett O'Connor, a thirty-year-old woman who was going through some hard times. Scarlett's father, Anthony O'Connor, was terminally ill. He had been diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and underwent a lung transplant. Five years later, he was on his deathbed, and Scarlett was about to become an orphan. Anthony, a man of wisdom, had some last words for his daughter and promised to tell her the greatest secret to living a happy life. However, this secret was not to be quickly revealed. Scarlett discovered that she might have to embark on an adventure that only Anthony O'Connor could set up before this secret would be revealed to her. Her father warned her that the journey was hers alone. The adventure was fraught with many difficulties. Would she uncover this secret?

The book was a heartwarming story with an exciting plot. The storytelling ran smoothly with clarity and purpose. It was fast-paced, and there was no long draw out with revealing important story plots. There was some anticipation built up early in the story when Anthony O'Connor tried to reveal the secret to a happy life but was unable to do so. The rest of the book was a curious search for this magical secret that would allow one access to happiness, and this curiosity could keep readers' attention till the end.

This book was filled with so many life nuggets and words of wisdom that would positively influence the life of readers. Scarlett was sent on a journey, and as I followed her adventure, I watched as she discovered herself and life in general. Her character represented people who had hit rock bottom in life, and her journey was symbolic of the unique step every person must take to discover themselves. There were so many lessons to be learned from Scarlett's journey. The most profound lesson would be that all the answers to our questions could be found outside our comfort zone.

Without a doubt, Anthony O'Connor's character was the most endearing. His character had a serenity that drew me in as I anticipated the next life-changing words of wisdom. I especially loved the expression of his character as a father who guided his child to learn the way of life rather than simply giving out all the information. Through his character, I saw how unconditional love and kindness could pull people together.

I Can Still Hear You was amazing. I loved the simplicity of the story and the warmth it carried. Most importantly, I loved its uplifting aura. I found nothing in this book to dislike, and it was well-edited. This book would be most suited to puzzle lovers and adventurers at heart. With nothing to dislike, I'd rate I Can Still Hear You five out of five stars.

Wow, amazing book! I believe everyone has their definition of a 'happy life'. As I remember on Ted Talk the speaker said, " Good life builds with good relationships". Well, in this book, I wanna know what is the one secret to a happy life that Anthony wants to teach Scarlett. I want to discover Scarlett's adventure. This is the book that I want to read in the early months of 2023. Looking forward to it. Thanks for your excellent review!

This seems like the kind of book I'd love to read read. Fast-paced and straight to the point; no long draw outs.

It’s amazing the lasting effect a good parent can have on a child. Scarlett knew that Anthony had something worthwhile to share with her and she was determined to find it. While it’s sad that he was not around to deliver the message, he gave her the ability to discover it.
