Now or Never by Mary Wasche is a captivating novel that explores the lives of many women in society today. The story follows Jennifer Davis, who rebels against her family and feels taken advantage of by them. She runs away with her two-year-old son, Charlie, after their parents leave for work and school without saying a word to her. Jennifer pitches a tent in a snowy campground at Voyageurs National Park, where she leaves him asleep while she goes to the restroom. When the authorities search for Charlie, Jennifer questions whether she was selfish or if she put her needs before her family's.

The book is well-written and fast-paced, with no objective flaws. The author portrays Jennifer as a caring mother and wife while rebelling against her family. Her self-doubt and questions she ask herself show that she did not take her actions lightly, and her concern for her family was evident. The family dynamics are relatable, with teenage children absorbed with their friends, sports, and cellphone usage, and a husband who wants to relax after a long day at work without any confrontations.

The book has no objective flaws, except for Dan, who is egotistical and considered himself the boss of the family. However, this role was essential to the plot and made the story more intriguing. The Kindle version of the book has a few formatting issues that the author may want to look into, but they did not distract from the reading enjoyment.

This professionally edited book deserves a perfect rating of 5 out of 5 stars. The romance, adventure, and suspense mixture kept the reader's interest throughout the book. The lessons about how one's actions can impact an entire family are ones everyone should learn to have successful relationships. The minimal errors encountered, my enjoyment of reading the book, and the many lessons I learned justify the rating I gave this book.

Fans of romance, adventure, and crime-thriller books, couples raising children, and older teenagers should read Now or Never. The non-borderline profanity in the book makes it inappropriate for younger teenagers, but they could also learn from this book. The minimal errors encountered, my enjoyment of reading the book, and the many lessons I learned justify the rating I gave this book.

In conclusion, Now or Never by Mary Wasche is a captivating novel that explores the lives of women who feel taken advantage of and ignored by their families. The story offers a compelling exploration of the importance of self-reflection, family dynamics, and the consequences of actions on a family.

This poor woman is losing her mind: thankless teens, thankless husband, mentalities all day with no end in sight. She’s an intelligent woman worth more than this, and is sad when she remembers happier times. Let’s see if she can change the status-quo….

This is a terrific review. However, this old guy doesn't fit the right demographic for this book. I guess that many others will find it engrossing and right on point based on the content. Congratulations to Ms. Wasche on her accomplishment and BOTD.

Now or Never is truly an inspiring lesson to those women who are badly ignored by familier relationships . Even after giving her whole life to family a women faces such ignorance or neglecting behaviour from your loved ones will completely break the women from inside. She is not born to just only do houshold chores or take reponsibility of your children she is also meant to be respeced by loved ones and society.

This review is great, thank you.
I love the plot. I think it relates commonly to most women who stay at home as their value as stay-at-home moms, tends to be undervalued in society.
Jennifer Davis is rather bold in running away, however, I am very curious about what happened to Charlie. This is rather an interesting spin on the story.
Congratulations to the author 👏

Follow Jennifer Davis as she challenges family norms and embarks on a snowy adventure that questions the essence of love and duty. A must-read for those navigating family dynamics.

Post by Rahul Singh 29 »

After looking at this review, it seems like the main idea of the book is about sacrifice, especially focusing on the sacrifices women make for their families, which often go unnoticed. But I respectfully disagree with this view. I believe true sacrifice isn't about wanting recognition; it's about doing something selflessly without expecting anything in return. Both men and women can make big sacrifices, with dads often doing a lot for their families without looking for thanks. Men often put their family's needs before their own, showing a deep sense of duty and care. It's important to realize that both genders play a role in taking care of their families, and they both deserve to be appreciated and respected for it.
Life is a play where we are the actors and the audience, We laugh and cry, love and hate, create and destroy,
We seek to know ourselves and others, to belong and to be free, We accept what we can and change what we must.

I can certainly understand Jennifer’s feelings. I did, however, finally stand up for myself and everyone involved was willing to help, much to my surprise. I realize that not everyone is like this, but it works for me. Congratulations on BOTD!

True to life!!!! To have a wife or mother in your life to fulfill all needs and necessity is a blessing. Nowadays we forget that they also have a life and don't bother showing admiration and love to them. This novel should be read by everyone to understand that your mother or wife has a life to themselves. And if you are the mother or wife then demand respect and admiration from them.
Such an intriguing review.

I can say thank you very much for this most wonderful book, the story of a woman's reality in most countries of the world, the fact that a woman is marrying someone she loves and has a beautiful relationship and cooperation and all love, but eventually when they have children, life begins, and the husband becomes incapable of taking care of them and his wife, and the wife becomes the one who does everything to make her family connected and love each other, so she cooks food, washs clothes, cleans the house, delivers the kids to school every day, wakes them up to school like the storykeeper's life, and at the end of doing all that, she will get tired of being the responsible for everything, and she could no longer bear the responsibility for raising her children and doing everything in the family, yells at her husband and scolds him that he's going to deliver the kids to school, and he's going to wake them up to school and make breakfast for himself, and try to make her children responsible for themselves.


Conclusion: I'm gonna give the story 10 out 10👍Because this is the real world of so many woman's who are getting treat like this by their husband
