This sounds as a very interesting story, but also very bittersweet. It looks like something made out of tenderness. Thanks for your review.

An interesting story revolving around a couple that was able to build a life together. It's encouraging to many who enjoy romantic family drama genres. Great review and congratulations on BOTD.

I love these kind of books, memoirs, family stories; what people go through and how it affects their lives. Looking forward to reading it. Thanks for the great review!

Thanks for the review, but I don't care for books that focus on relationships and/or family matters, so I'm calling this a 'no'.

Unfortunately, I have to say that I personally consider such stories a way too private family business and to pry in them is unbecoming. Even though author choose to make it open for public, I still believe it unacceptable. At least for myself.

I love this type of memoir! I am a sap for romance. If this book brought your emotions to the surface, I am sure it will mine also! It sounds like a beautiful story. I definitely want to read this one! Thank you for the excellent review!

This book has a beautiful title, I love the family bonds that already show. I wouldn't expect anything humorous in the book, but your description of the humor makes it more appealing.

The book sounds like a heartwrenching love story. I like it that the author has used a descriptive style in writing this amazing book. However, I'm not a fan of this genre (though I love family stories). Otherwise, congrats on the BOTD!

While this sounds like a touching work, memoirs aren't really my thing, especially ones that make you cry. Thanks for a great review.
