The story itself is one worth telling and seems relatable but the characters relationships don’t seem very genuine. A lot of comments praise its use of simple English but It could use more adjectives in between conversations to make it seem more intimate and robust.

I like the story is about coming clean from one’s past secrets. Secrets that may hold one back from forging ahead. Thanks for the wonderful review.

I really loved the sample of this book, and your review made me want to read more. A romance book filled with childhood friendships and secrets sounds fun and intriguing. Thanks for the glowing review!

Many people tend to ignore or hide their secret lives by involving is many ridiculous things, some may engage in a righteous activity just to save their heart from that darkest path of their life, others in one form of thing. Either way, the past can really hurt if not fully dealt with, especially when kept from the significant other.

I love how the author has managed to blend in with the characters of the book. At some point, it reminded me of my early childhood days. Great review

I've always felt the romance genre is a bit too mushy for my taste. However, I'm sure fans of the genre will be delighted in reading this story of three friends whose lives are wrapped up in wrongs decisions, secrets, and doubts about the future. Thanks for your review!

High Hopes by Sue Lilley is an adult romance. I wonder what kind of secrets are they hiding. I am looking forward to it.

The sample blew my mind! It's a really good book. I am glad that you enjoyed every bit of it. I was really hoping for spoilers though.
But the path I’ve chosen has always been the right one, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. :)
