Yes, the pandemic is surely still ongoing one way or another, and I think I am ready to start facing the new normal. The characters in this book were good (and some bad) examples of how to move forward. I hope you decide to give it a try.Jennifer Coxon wrote: ↑20 Oct 2022, 18:10 I too would have shied away from this book because of the the close proximity of the pandemic, which in one way or another is still ongoing. However, your review has encouraged me to change my mind and give this story a go. Thank you.

There are many interesting subplots in this book, but I think you will especially enjoy the one that involves members of the community coming together to help others.Juvensky power wrote: ↑21 Oct 2022, 01:46 COVID pandemic was one of the harsh we ever had for such a long period,we accept the loss incurred and urge organisations to support the most affected psychologycally and financially if need be.For the review,i think i wont think twice to read,am headed for it

I am definitely glad I took a chance on this book. The COVID-19 aspect was not as overwhelming as I thought it would be. Thank you for your comment!Amanda simmon wrote: ↑26 Oct 2022, 19:22 It’s very important to see that despite the genre of book that you find appealing, giving other genre’s a try and reading with an open mind can prove to be a good decision because they sometimes provide priceless knowledge and thrilling drama. I look forward to reading this book.

Yes. Sadly, the repercussions of such a catastrophic event may get lost as we move on. This book does a great job of highlighting the plight of some who are left behind, while adding colorful subplots. Thank you for your comment.

The author does a great job of describing the issues for this family and those in their circle. Given the stats, this scenario is probably not uncommon. Thank you for your visit and your comment.Michaeleedsy wrote: ↑07 Nov 2022, 18:00 Reading about Covid will make me so emotional because of the tragic things that happened during the period. Nevertheless, I will love to read this book so as to understand the author's perspective. Thanks for your honest review

I was hesitant to read a book on the pandemic too, but the author does a good job of framing it. COVID-19 will remain a huge part of our lives, and it doesn't feel too stressful reading about lockdowns and quarantines for me now. I bonded with the characters and enjoyed the story. I hope you decide to check it out when you're ready.Michael Adam Glidden Forteski wrote: ↑08 Nov 2022, 13:33 Thanks for the review. I was looking at this one and considering if I could come to grips with a book broaching the topic. That said, I've read some horrific stories of late, such as Hurricane Season and White Chrysanthemum. I will definitely need to be in the right mindset for this one.
Thank you for your comment.

I appreciated how the author included various subplots in the mix to take the focus off the pandemic. I noted a couple of heroines in the story and found myself cheering in support of their spunk.Hubre De Klerk wrote: ↑10 Nov 2022, 06:12 This book definitely sounds like a good read and you did a fantastic job on this review.

I believe there were indeed many lessons we had the opportunity to learn from this recent pandemic. This story does not sugarcoat the intensity of trying to work safely during this time; it also shows how important it is for people to look out for each other.Jcvr26 wrote: ↑12 Nov 2022, 23:29 There are many people that past away during COVID 19 and there has been a few children that's been left without parents.
But most people lost work and closed down businesses because of everything being closed.
I think that COVID 19 has learnd us a falueble lesson in life that nothing in life is free and easy to maintain and that without work no one can survive...
I learnd that if you have a job do your best in it and hold on to it... basically we all should be grateful for having the privilege to be able to generate an income through hard work and smart work.
Thank you for your comment.

The author did an excellent job of raising several issues that the pandemic highlighted which were already present. Some examples included the shortcomings of foster care and problem of sexual predators.Mihlali Madjo wrote: ↑16 Nov 2022, 15:05 well this was an interesting story as we all know many children lost their parents. the orphan crisis underlies many other issues .

I also managed a few cheers and laugh-out-loud moments while reading this engaging story.C Janet wrote: ↑20 Nov 2022, 09:56 The title would make me reluctant to pick this book as well, especially because it paints the story as a sad one. I'm glad to know the story doesn't focus on the pandemic, though, and that the main focus is on relationships (that would easily be my favorite component, too). Thank you for your well-written review!
