Official Review: Beyond Despair by Shirley Hoisington

[Aashu Chaudhary]

Wow. The permission was asked by my twin to go on date with my best friend. If I was in place of Miranda, it would be as much devasting as it was for her. I would love to read this emotional piece of fiction.

I just read the sample and I want to know what happens next. The book is an interesting one, great use of words but I feel like the grammars were too much. I don't expect it to be too simple but I feel like it should be enough for people that English isn't their first language will be able to understand it. But the book is a good one so far.

I'd say I can only imagine Miranda's heartbreak as she watches her twin sister marry the man she loves, but I can actually feel it in the author's words. A sister's love is unbelievably strong, and this connection deepens between identical twins. I am definitely rooting for Miranda as she seeks a fresh start. Thank you for the lovely review!

I can’t even imagine how Miranda felt. I loved her sacrificing spirit. To me she a hero. I just can’t sacrifice to that extent. Thanks for the excellent review. It must be a good read.

Oh, dear... I think Roger is not for you, Miranda. You did the right thing. I hope you found someone that loved you later. I like the way you described the author's writing style. Your review was excellent.

I enjoyed reading your review because you elevated this book beyond a typical romance novel, telling us about the best aspects of the story and the writer's skill. I'm not a fan of this genre, but this book seems to have many good qualities.

[Scerakor]

Lovers of the romance genre - who like to have a couple of twists and turns mixed in - are likely to enjoy Hoisington's novel.

[Astral Magi]

Twins that share a home with one man sounds like a recipe for disaster. Thank you for a great review.

What a wonderful review. I enjoyed reading the sample. The author does a phenomenal job of capturing the emotions of the characters. At the start of the novel, I felt Miranda's pain and anguish at watching the one you love be with someone else. It is a consuming, uncurable kind of pain. What do you do when the person causing your hurt is someone nearest and dearest to you and is unaware of how you feel? I must say, the plot caught my attention. I would definitely love to read on to see how things play out between Miranda and Cindy and whether Miranda finds true love. Great job on today's selection for BOTD.

Great review! I love how you grabbed my attention with the opening question. Definitely want to read this book after your review.

[Stephanie Runyon]

Light romances filled with prose and not overly sexualized are sweet novels to read. Hopefully the grammar issues will be resolved. I wonder how the two sisters didn't notice the other one had eyes on the same man? Nice review.

[Kaylee Elmer]

I'm not usually a romance novel fan, but this sounds like one I would enjoy. I like that it was suggestive without being overly erotic. I'm super curious about what happens to Miranda! It is too bad there were too many errors. Thanks for a great review!

[Lily Ahulu]

Am heart broken for Miranda. Imagine losing both parents and then having the man you love fall in love with your TWIN SISTER and marrying HER after dating YOU for a while. And worse of all, she had no one to confide in on how hurt she was because her twin sister was whom she used to confide in. I understand why she had to move away from the city to be away from them.

[Michelle Menezes]

I read the first sentence of the review and immediately decided to read the book. My heart goes out to Miranda, and I would not wish such a situation on anyone. I truly hope Miranda finds her love by the end.

[Kirsi Cultrera]

I am not much into romance novels, but I like that the author succeeded in writing a romance book without sex scenes. I also find the setup with twins falling for same guy quite intriguing. I wonder how the story ends for the two. Thank you for the the lovely review.
