I felt honoured and privileged she asked me to read her new release.
Today, I finished reading, You are still the one and I have posted my personal comments and ratings.
My Review Title: Love taken for granted and finally appreciated
Andrew is a handsome and intelligent man who is dense enough
to stay ‘married’ to his new business. He wants to succeed at all cost, while
his fairy tale marriage and his starry-eyed wife, Ashley take second place. Phone
calls to his wife a few times a day are his way of showing how much he ‘cares’.
My heart ached for this young couple. Ashley confronted her husband about his
persistent absence from home. Her complaint of being lonely and her cry for
attention went unanswered. But I wish she was stronger character.
Andrew’s father, Carl is a vile man. I wanted to kill him
off so many times, I lost count. But he is the reason, Andrew is so driven.
The author has a great way of delivering a bucket load of
laughter through the characters dialogue and thoughts. I laughed a lot. Andrew’s
promises of a better future became like saw dust in Ashley’s ears and they
eventually went their separate ways. I felt Ashley’s pain. The author drew me
in with her graphic writing of Ashley’s misery. And, Andrew’s panic
attack and memory recall was strong and intense.
Seven years later, Andrew and Ashley's coming back together was so rocky,
I wanted to scream in frustration. There were times I could not connect with Andrew's unnecessary hesitation. To me, the timing of Andrew’s first flashback affected the
smooth flow of the story.
Overall: It was an emotional story of love, acute pain,
separation and second chance.
My Favourite Quote From You are still the one
My Favourite Quote From You are still the one
“I love you, Ashley. I tried so hard not to. But I always
lose when I see you. It’s not fair that you are so beautiful inside and out.
It’s not fair that you’re so amazing that you fill all my thoughts and say all
the right things every time. It’s not fair that you make me feel like a better
man than I am.”
I give 4 fruit bouquet to You are still the one by Sasha Clinton - For a lovely story, medium emotional connection, wish there was a deeper connection with the characters.
