Review of Zooming with the past

[Shirley Ann Riddern Labzentis]

Very nice review! It's sad when you have a friend whom you know that something is wrong with her, yet she fails to open up to you for a long time. Seeing a person change as much as Miriam did means that the issue has taken a toll on her body and soul. People need to talk about things, if only to one confidant.

This book shares details about beautiful friendships, hard times as well as great moments of connecting. Each friend has challenges in her life, to be overcome. I am happy for the author that she has such friends in her life.

This is a book based on true events. The story revolves around the development of friendship between four girls, overcoming life's challenges and situations. Each girl's story is told individually at the beginning and intertwines with each girl's intervention depending on the situation. The narration is very good, and overall, the stories are warm and true. #BOTD

Zooming with the past by Marlene Zaedyan is a great book and am happy that the author shares her story and that of her friends.

This one called to me and reminded me a bit of The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. Coming-of-age stories with the found family trope are always so heartwarming!

A book about supportive friendship and overcoming life challenges seems inspiring and relatable. In this book, Marlene shares her story with 3 friends and their personal lives. The author put her heart in this detailed and emotional narrative. The storytelling is engaging and well developed. I agree to see the other friend's perspective too. Thank you for an informative review.

I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect with this story. It’s said to never judge a book by its cover but it’s hard not to make quick assumptions.
After reading this detailed review I’m so looking forward to reading this book and am so glad the author allowed us to get it for free today!

[Moisés Alcántara Ayre]

This is an excellent review about female friends whose stories weave to create a compelling and captivating story. I will give this book a read very shortly.

This book shares the journey of four friends named Anna, Miriam, Fadia and Camille as they face heartbreak, betrayal and personal loss. Their resilience and support for one another make it a compelling and inspiring read. Congrats on BOTD!

[Chaitanya Godbole]

True friendship is being there for the other, physically or emotionally, and the review makes a case to read this story of friendships. I am curious as to what perspectives the author would have presented in the book.

The experiences of Miriam, Anna ,Fadia and Camille show that although sometimes things get complicated there is always a way forward.

Usually I am not interested in nonfiction books, but there was something in the description of this story about the friendship of four women that they carried over the years that drew me. Perhaps it is a contradiction to the popular belief that female friendship doesn't exist or a remembrance of my own girlfriends, but I gratefully accept the gift and congratulate the author with BOTD!
