In spite of the characters' personal turmoils and problems, this sounds like a positive book. It's a plus that you found nothing wrong with it, thanks for the great review!

High Hopes sounds like a good book. I don't know if I'll read it, it's not the type of book I normally read. Nice review.

I would like reading on a romance novel that revolves around a group of friends who through flashbacks remember how they kept each other's secrets. Thanks for the insightful review.

All those secrets and how they affect the characters' lives make for an intriguing story line. I really love the way you describe how the author kept you glued to the book! This looks interesting. Thanks for the recommendation.

I supposed it must have lots of details since it only spans a week! Sounds like a down-to-earth novel. Who doesn't love secrets!

I am so intrigued in this book that I downloaded a copy. I am a sucker for a good love triangle romance, and the added twist about the main character's daughter is just too juicy to pass up. I'm excited to read it!
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

The book seems very interesting. It sounds to be an insight into the modern day relationships and secrets every one keep. The characters seem well-developed. Looking forward to reading it. Congrats on BOTD!

I love how the author has twisted an ordinary theme into something so extraordinary and woven an intricate tale around it. The excellent use of side characters is also noteworthy. Thanks for the amazing review.

I like the fact that these three friends maintained their friendship for so long. But what could be their secrets? Secrets have a way of ruining friendship.

I love this romance novel and the first line grips the reader...secrets and trust are the perfect ingredients for a novel in this genre. I am definitely interested in this book.

Great review! It sounds like something that is relatable when it comes to reality and problems in life. The three characters seem interesting and the author's writing style sounds impressive as well. It looks like he also has well-written characters.

It seems like the characters are well-written. They have plenty of secrets and each fight with themselves when it comes to doing the right thing and ignoring what is happening. Not a story I would read, but other readers might enjoy it. Nice review.
Just reading... :techie-studyingbrown: :techie-studyinggray:

I don't like books from this genre; I'll give it a pass.
