High Hopes is a beautiful romance revolving around three main characters who have been lifelong friends. Each character is keeping secrets from the others. This book makes you question the secrets you keep in your own life. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Also thanks to the reviewer for your excellent and honest review.

I love how the author incorporate side characters that may have small roles, but are so deeply ingrained into the story and makes it difficult for the reader to choose the favorite character. Nice Review.

A book of love, friendship, and secrets seems to be interesting.

Thank you for the great review.

This book sounds great! I love it when romance and friendship comes together in books! It sounds like Sam, Dixie, and Grace are all well-developed characters. I also like that it gives sufficient backstories about the friendship the three share while still focusing on the present. I am dying to know what the big secret and how it will affect relationships. Thanks for the great review!

Thank you for your informative and detailed review. This book sounds like something all of us can relate to as we go through different stages in our relationships. I particularly like in your review you mentioned uncovering the history behind each character. Discovering a person's history often makes us understand them better and change the way we view them. Certainly something relatable in the book.

This one seems as a dramatic novel, which goes beyond an usual romance. I would like to give it a try. Congratulations on being BOTD

I am somewhat torn on this one. The opening pages reminded me of a soap opera with Grace and her ex-husband still acting as if married and then the mysterious envelope from the daughter Grace gave up for adoption. I’m not sure I can handle all the drama! But, your review was so very insightful and I enjoyed learning more about the book. I’m still on the fence.

A romance novel where secrets are kept and all the main characters constantly fight with themselves when it comes to doing the right thing, sounds intriguing. I would love to know how things happen in the end. Thanks for the well written review

This sounds t be a fairly interesting story. I usually gets good when old friends or people one once new begin to come back as your past begins to start lurking again. I may just have to check this one out.

Thanks for the excellent review! I guess everyone in life has a secret of some kind. A book where all of the characters have secrets sounds intriguing! I liked the part where you said reading about their secrets would make the reader think about their own life. I can see where that would be true. The question I need to answer before I decide if I'm going to read this one is do I want to think about my own past life? I'm not sure! I never did anything that became a huge secret but I had a few little moments I have always kept to myself. I'm not sure I want to revisit them. I do want to know the secrets of the characters in this book though!

The reviewer has done a thorough job. The summary is quite adequate in information. Undeniably, the reviewer summed up the story without distortion. I love the deep conversations between Alexander and Grace. They are interactive and engaging. The romance aspect is awesome. Congrats on being BOTD.
