This book looks confusing but it has a great storyline. The author did a good job and was able to develop the characters well. Congratulations on being book of the day.

The title of the book gives a curious impression, and after reading some pages of the book, the imagination process stops, and we realize the reality about these characters and the dark side of their lives.

After reading the review, I read the book sample. The narrative was choppy. The sentence structure was odd. While the story seemed quite interesting, laboring through the writing style would be difficult.

I'm not really sure about this book. It doesn't seem to flow. It is great that it is a Book of the Day though.

I am also bothered by all the errors in this book. They were very obvious in the few pages that I read to sample it. The plot seems rather convoluted and distracting from what I read. Plus, the pedophilia and explicit sex scenes turn me off completely. Interesting review!

Very insightful review, thank you. Congrats to the author on BOTD, however, this genre and type of sexual content by any approach do not appeal to me.

This book sounds a little confusing. I hope it gets professionally edited so the author can tell the story they intended to.

The plot seems to have a lot of twists and mystery. When books possess such, they tend to feed the readers curiosity. I also, think it's a story to learn from, especially for young girls. However, the errors in this book need to be worked on and cannot be overlooked.

This is fictional account of a young woman and the people in her life. There is a large cast of characters and the book is filled with romance, suspense and intrigue. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your interesting review.

Maybe i was reading this all wrong. The tear-jerker emotions and the title,were a bit over whammy. https://forums.onlinebookclub.org/posti ... =2&t=91183#

I used to think a book that has one or two mistakes here and there is ok. Then I read a book with many mistakes it’s true it becomes very annoying and disturbing even if the story line is good. The story looks appealing and intriguing just by the title but the lack of proofreading and proper editing is a little bit discouraging. Nice review and congrats to the author for being BOTD .

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting novel about the life of Maria Anderson including her family, her marriage and her education. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Reading into the synopsis of the book, my first impression is that the reader would be caught in a tangle of plots and events which make it for an interesting reading experience, though it contains sensitive topics not suitable for younger audience. Hopefully the errors mentioned in the review would be addressed. Great review.

For those readers looking for romance and stories about interpersonal relationships, Crickmore's work may be worth checking out.

It seems that there are many grammatical errors and too many ideas in one book for it to keep my attention for long. Although the story about Maria being a lawyer and what appears to be a mystery book, I can't seem to shake how inconsistent it seems to be. I will pass, but adventurous readers may want to give this one a shot. :)
