This book title is quite catchy. Friendship is one relationship people underrate and I'm glad the author features it as one of the themes of his book. Fictional novels are my favourite and I would love to add this book to my bookshelf.

Absolutely adore a catchy subtitle and a pretty book cover, and this one definitely has both! If you include intrigue and a depressing aura of oppression by the government, I'm in. Because of the superb job you did composing this review, I'll be adding this. I'd want to give a big thanks to the author. Congrats on botd!

The breakdown of the story that the reviewer has presented is very simple and to the point. Though I would have liked more detail, I guess that I shall have to read the book to find out more. Quite a devious means, to whet the appetite then leave us hanging. :D Still it captures the theme of the story, love and relationships, at least that is what i think is the theme of the story.
If the heart is clear, it doesn't matter if there's a storm brewing in the sky.

The story is interesting; what would have happened to Virginia? I'm convinced that Jenica will do everything possible to get answers. Also, the cover is beautiful; such beautiful art. Thanks for the review.

Jenica is lucky he has people to notice his disappearance and search for him. Some don't, and they just disappear without a trace.
