Wow! You did a thorough job on the review and it sounds like a great book. I am not a fan of 'cheesy' novels and wasn't even interested in this book until I read your review. I have downloaded the book and am looking forward to reading it. Nice work!

Great review. Congrats on being BOTD! Love the cover. Normally don't read romance but this one sounds interesting.

So glad this ended up being much more than a cheesy romance novel! Like you, my initial first thoughts about the blurb for this book were not great but I'm glad I read your review as it has changed my mind. Great job on the review!

Nice review! I actually wasn't sure about this book with just looking at the cover and the title. However, I'm glad that this romance isn't a typical one and it has more depth. Congratulations to the author for receiving such a positive review!

I agree that the title and cover are very misleading, especially considering your take on the book. That might be something the author should consider changing. Great review! You have made me think twice on writing this one off.

I'm glad this book turned out to have so much more depth than what was initially thought. I'm not a fan of cheesy romance novels so it's really nice to see that this book is definitely not one of those. Great review!

Thanks for the review. From the description of the book on Amazon I would have thought about it being a typical romance as well. I am glad that there is more depth to the story than just that!

I honestly only downloaded this book because I love Jeeps and it's always good to have a genre I don't dip into often around for a reading slump. I realize how that sounds, but there are Jeep people and there are not Jeep people. We're kind of a cult. I'm not huge on romance novels in general because as stated in this review and the comments, they are often shallow. I have experienced relationships - both romantic and platonic - that have been catalysts for change in my life. I am delighted at the prospect of a relatable heroine who uses her experiences to be proactive in designing her life. I'm far more interested in making this book a priority in my TBR list after reading this review. I look forward to reading and reviewing myself on Amazon and Goodreads!

Great review, thank you for sharing. I was definitely hesitant about the book after seeing the cover and title, but your review shows another side. Will be adding this to my list.
