Konichiwa!
*All my reviews are honest and not influenced by anyone
else.*

The story follows through Lizzy’s life, as in her whole
life. We first see her as a child who struggles through her father leaving her
with her mother. Gradually she grows up and we get to see her going through her
teens and then leaving school. Of course, the romance is not too far to follow,
and we continue to stick with Lizzy up until her death. A lot happens in that
time, and I am sure Lizzy experiences a little bit of everything.
I am super happy I picked up this book, because it has
that calm drama that I love and cherish. We really need more books like this
one. When I picked it up my mind imagined it to be a bit more based on the
romance, so when it was sort of quicker than anticipated (Note: NOT insta-love,
but just not the long span focus of the story) I was a bit surprised. But it
didn’t matter much because the rest of the book was just as good.

ard she tries to be a good person. I honestly can relate to this, which made me love her as a character all the more. Another character I loved was Barry because something important happens to him *no spoilers* and he manages to keep a positive attitude all the way through it. It reminded me of my little sister as well, and how she always tries to be independent regardless and keep her chin up!
This book was definitely good. In fact, I would give it
the full five of five stars, and strongly recommend it. I hope you try it
someday. David Burton is definitely an author that should be a bit bigger in my
opinion

I love David's work and was so happy to see that you liked his book. I'm currently reading Tell Me Something True!
ReplyDeleteHehe glad to see another fan! I hope you like what you are reading at the moment :)
DeleteI think I would choose intelligence, because you (hopefully) are well informed and smart enough to make the right decisions!
ReplyDeleteNice answer! With logical thinking in there as well. :D
DeleteI haven't heard of this one but slower books and calm drama is what I need from time to time. I'm so happy that you've got that here. Lizzy seems like a really great character. Great review, Olivia :)
ReplyDeleteI know! The calm was exactly what I needed, but I didn't know it until I finished the book, really!
DeleteHi! I've never heard of this book, but it sounds promising. Thank you!

DeleteMany thanks for your kind review, Olivia. I'm delighted that you enjoyed the book. And thank you for suggesting and hosting the giveaway. You're a star. 8^>
ReplyDeleteNo problem! And you're amazing yourself, writing such a great story :D
DeleteI don't read too many romances because most of them seem to fall into bed before they fall into love, but this seems nice. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean xD This one isn't like that though, I promise! Much better quality than that ;)
DeleteThis sounds interesting! Thanks for the giveaway ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! :)
No problem!
DeleteLizzy sounds great, I thnk that I would enjoy her as a main character as well
ReplyDeleteI do think this is one you might like.
DeleteI like the name of the book. Something that would make you pick it off the bookstore shelf. :)
ReplyDeleteI would agree ^^
DeleteSounds like an interesting read! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was!
DeleteThat's really interesting that this book follows the main character's whole life. I rarely see books like that! Great review. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought that was one of the reasons this book was so unique, and we got to see her character really develop. Which was why I loved it <3
DeleteHi Olivia, you keep enticing me with all your amazing book reviews! Izzy sounds like a fun character, maybe I should check this book out.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you keep coming back for more :D She really was a great character, it would be worth your time :)
DeleteThank you for hosting this, Olivia.
ReplyDeleteI'm so overwhelmed by the interest I have decided to make eBook (or pdf) versions available to anyone else who is interested but didn't win.
Simply follow my blog just1more.wordpress.com or email me at somethingeneric at gmail dot com and let me know which version you would like.
Thanks again.

No problem ;) I hope this manages to catch some commenters eyes!
DeleteDefinitely mine!
DeleteGo for it ;)
DeleteDetermination. If I had given up on life, I wouldn't be anywhere, besides, determination is kind of indapendance. I could be determined to open a jar and refuse help or be determined to do it myself. I don't think I've ever read a book that starts at the birth all the way to the death, a real life book. Good job on the descriptions by the way.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy this one when you get round to reading it! And yes, determination kind of does tie in with independence!
DeleteI'm at the point where I have creeped your blog so much, I'm in the 2014 archive *hides* lol I would chose intelligence - I think that's a must nowadays. Great post <3 Benish | Feminist Reflections
ReplyDeleteAhaha you are always free to visit my old posts! Don't worry about it. Intelligence is in high demand a lot :)
