I enjoyed this book a lot, despite its flaws. It needs huge suspension of disbelief to accept the premise. I simply don't believe that a man like Charlie would go on a dating reality show so that he could work in tech again. So many things don't make ...more |

“What must I do now?”
Mrs. Muller considered her silently for a while. “You are still a child. You must go where you are told and do as you are told. But it won’t always be so. Soon you will be in charge of yourself. Until that time: Be aware. Listen. Look. Touch. Smell. And remember. But for now, you must go home.”

“But he’s still your family, right? You run together. See, that’s important. Nothing’s more important. But you can’t,” she coughed again, “you can’t have a pack that’s so big that just everybody’s in it. I’m not saying you shouldn’t care about people. Try to help them. But you can’t take it all on yourself, girl. That’s all I’m saying.”

Thanks Malla :)I always struggle with reviews because I'm "spoilerphobic".
Hi Malla - glad to meet you here as well :)Wow - what a wonderful comment. I dont expect much money to come out of this project - it's more about reaching out with my stories, hoping people will enjoy them. Life can be tough - got to find those pockets of magic that still exist! :)

It has been an interesting year, learning about self publishing and everything that goes with it. And making new friends, of course! I hope you have a fantastic new year -
