In the Official Review: Yesterday by Samyann the central idea of the story has been well pointed out! The review excels in expression towards its ending. It helps the readers to read the book with perspective. The review inspires me to learn all knowledge in the form of stories!

When a romantic journey takes two people to their past, there's so much to expect from the novel. I like the twist in the story where the lady saves the man. It's usually the other way round. But this brought a unique flare to the love story.

Reincarnation, adrenaline, and instinctual bonds of destiny?! This sounds like a thrilling read indeed.

I like stories, especially romances, that involve souls connected throughout reincarnations. Most of the reviews were very positive and you seem to have enjoyed it as well. That's enough for me to want to give it a try. Thanks for the review!

The plot of the book seems to be of my kind. I am always thrilled to read about incarnation and this book is based on that. So I would definitely add this to my list. Excellent review.

Interesting, so the book not only has reincarnation, time travelling but also teaches the struggles and difficulty people faced during the American civil war and the Chicago fire in 1871.

An emotional reading that follows the love story between Amanda and Mark sounds wonderful. Their time travel to past lives, as well as the storyline relating to the American Civil War and the Chicago Fire from 1871, make this work more captivating. Marvelous review! Thank you!

It sounds like a great historical fiction but I am not interested in reading it and I do not believe in reincarnation.

The idea of two people time travelling to their past lives is something I don't think I've heard of much. It sounds pretty cool. I wonder how Mark convinces Amanda that their love is real...
Wonderful review!

Yesterday is among one of the first books that I reviewed and I remember that my review had nothing but good things to say about it! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The idea of souls being connected over different lives? That's such a beautiful concept!

Usually reincarnation is something I avoid reading in books. But this book sounds so awesome that compelled me to read it. The review did most of the convincing. Awesome review, thank you.
