This romantic novel, Love All the Way by Aurora Carafa, tells an interesting story of two lovers living a life of complexity.

Melanie Foster was afraid to tell her best friend, Allen Shandi, that she was deeply in love with him. After a long time of keeping it, she decided to reveal it. Allen was speechless after hearing Melanie's revelation. At that time, Allen was involved with Christopher, but it ended after he heard the news. Allen was involved again with another guy, Felix. They got madly in love with each other, but something inside of him tells that he also loves Melanie. Could it be possible for a gay man who can love two people at the same time? How will these lovers handle love and commitment?

Aurora Carafa is an excellent storyteller and writer. I found her book brilliant, full of feelings, and brimming with lessons. I loved how she wrote this novel from beginning to end. There wasn't any boredom that struck me while reading this exceptionally written, and reader-friendly book. The plot was a highly readable page-turner. My excitement doesn't downsize on every page I read.

Allen is my favorite character in the story. Despite his gender, he managed to be fair with his loved ones. He is kind and loving. His character taught me that love begets love and kindness begets kindness. Whatever good things you give, it will give it back to you. Melanie's character, on the other hand, taught me how to surrender love unconditionally. She was forgiving, and it pays off in the end.

This book shows a complex life filled with love. This story was based on the true experiences of today's generation. Aurora Carafa gives justice to those people who experience the same situation. Aurora shows that nothing is wrong if you belong to the LGBTQ. I truly understand that gender is not an issue, what matters is your character, and this novel proved that.

Furthermore, every detail of the book was captivating. I loved the ending story. It draws the reader's imagination into what will happen in the next chapter of Melanie's life. In addition, the book was masterly edited, as I couldn't spot any errors in it. It was engaging. Though the book contains sexual content, the book doesn't appear nasty. Instead, my eagerness to continue reading the book outpace. The book also contains minor profanity, but it never lessens my overall satisfaction with the book. Love All the Way deserves a very large readership. Hence, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars . There is nothing to dislike about the book.

As a result, I recommend this book to adults, especially LGBTQ, as they will find it very relatable. They will surely be delighted to read this beautifully written book.

Yes, this lesson reminds me that I should do the Golden Rule every time but yes, sometimes it was forgotten. This book is packed with life lessons; love exists in any form.
Thank you for your comment as well. God bless!

Sometimes the people we love or who are considered our soulmates are right there in front of us, but we are too blind to see it. That's how love is sometimes. Nice review.

I agree with you, David! Sometimes we're looking afar but what we're looking for is right in front of us. Sometimes we need not use our eyes but our hearts. Thanks for commenting and visiting my review! God bless!

I am very picky when it comes to romance novels, but the LGBTQ setup probably creates some uniqueness in this story. It piques my interest how the characters handle this complicated situation with a mixture of feelings. Thank you for the compelling review!
