I feel as if it wasn't for him, Rebecca would have made even more crazy decisions than she already had. I will agree that the plot was predictable, and I would have enjoyed the story more if I connected with Rebecca more as a character. Good review!

I had one reader on Amazon tell me the book kept her up all night and she compared it to The Fault in Our Stars. In the end reviews are all subjective.

I tried to make Rebecca as three dimensional as I could. She's trying to do the best she can in a bad situation. And my book passes the Bechdel test. :)<br /><br />DougDouglas Truemanhttp://www.douglastrueman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-49315493644775682712014-12-15T11:30:29.981+01:002014-12-15T11:30:29.981+01:00Oh, you requested the same book as me!

I liked the title and thought it represented the book perfectly, and I also think the music was very well done on your part.

I gave my manuscript to an agent to read and she told me if she wanted her to represent the book I had to cut all the music sections and change the title.
