It sounds interesting to read the book. However the author style of writing did not captivate me as much. Thank you for the well written review. Congratulations.

You've made this sound like such a good book, I'll definitely check it out! Especially because I love authors who put time and thought into their side characters, I find it makes for richer stories

Just a few pages in, and I can’t wait to read the rest! I wonder what other secrets are in store for Dixie, Grace and Sam.

I typically avoid romance novels due to the interpersonal drama. This book sounds elaborate, well-written, and emotionally involved. Great review!

Congratulations for the BOTD.for this pieces of story, High Hopes by Sue Lilley .the reviewer tried so much on the review. To make it sound more interesting, I am not a romantic dramatic book readers but for the fact that a Wise man once said a fool at 40 is a fool forever. Grace is about to celebrate her 40 years birthday and doesn't want to keep an old secret that could later destroy her life,with her three close Friend's.

From this review, I could figure the book as a motivational one. Speaking of how the characters in the novel live their lives and tackles arising situations. I should give it a read some day.

Skeletons in the closet come out to haunt after twenty years. What will happen to the lives of those involved? I'm not a romance fan, but this story intrigues me. I'm now making an inventory of my own secrets. Hush!

Thank you for your review. It's very clear you enjoyed the book. I do like to lose myself in a good romance so i will add this to my shelf.

High hopes by Sue Lilley is simply a choice book. The character of the family completely mirrors that of real life. I like books that cause the reader to relate to the plight of the characters and question their own opinions.
Feeling upset sometimes may be unavoidable, but acting distressed is always optional.

Thanks for the interesting review. While I do enjoy romance novels from time to time I don't think that this book will be a good fit for me. With the book only spanning a week of the characters' lives I feel that I'll only be getting a tiny perspective of who they are. I'm sure that the author tries to give readers as much as possible, but this book doesn't pull at me. I'm sure that others will enjoy this book though.

I don't like reading romance books, but I'll read this book because the story is dramatic and that the author structured the story in a way that will make the reader question his/her own life. Thank you for your insightful review.
