I read the sample version of the book and I found it very intriguing and I couldn't stop reading it so I will definitely try it out. The story feels really wholesome and characters are also very likeable! It's a great book which deals with uncertainty of life and pain but also the wholesome moments that make life what it really is.

This book sounds like it's going to be an emotional roller coaster. I'm usually wary about reading such distressing books as I have a really low threshold for emotional pain, but from the review it sounds like there will be equal amounts of love, faith and hope to balance out and mitigate the pain.

The review gives a really good insight into the characters without giving away too much. Rezai's Remembering Hope also appeals to me as a potential future read because of its strong female protagonist Bahar as well as its portrayal of the rich Iranian culture. Thank you for the amazing review.

I keep wondering how much grief Bahar had to go through. It's inspiring that she kept going. Many people are going through stuff like this in real life and will be inspired by this story.

There's no doubt that this will be a heart-wrenching book to get through, but I appreciate the undertones of love and hope which will fill readers with inspiration. Those dealing with grief will definitely connect to these characters and grow along with them. Congrats on the BOTD selection!

The author narrates a heartwarming story about a couple's married life, punctuated with a diagnosis of brain cancer. Iranian culture is the backdrop of this story, and readers will enjoy the rollercoaster.

I like a good romance story. This is one I would normally pick up and read. However, it will have to wait just a bit. Great review

Hope is something we hold to. Bahar's story will be emotionally challenging to read as it will showcase how it will affect the person's life which I want to know about. This review has given me the interest to read and understand the book closely. It will definitely make me strong with my emotions at the end of the book. Thank you for the wonderful review and for connecting us to the book.

Remembering Hope reminds us of the power of love and teaches us that we can only control so much in life.
I would recommend this book to everyone. :cry:

The review gave me the glimpses of the storyline, and the small extract that I read was enough to give me the undeniable curiosity to complete the books soonest possible. Remembering Hope seems to be the story of courage, resilience, perseverance and not giving up on your love. Sometime the life is so brutal that we could not even find the courage to reply it back with anger, we feel the void created inside us and find ourselves trapped in the labyrinth that life put us into. Bahar might have done nothing criminal to face such atrocities in her life that too when the love of her life was on the verge of death line. The story gives you the real doses of courage in the darkest times where the reader is also put in to the beautiful journey of the inception of their relationship. I couldn’t find another better book with so much heart-breaking and heart-warming storyline simultaneously.

A beautiful book and review Christieee, you reveal the power of self and the human side in the story. Also, I noticed that the author used the first person's perspective well in this artistic context. Have a great time.

This book explores about the emotions you feel when your loved one is facing a difficulties. And remembering the times when you spent together . It also shows how beautiful young love feels. But the major positive lesson is how to not lose hope and be strong and positive in these tough situations.
