Official Review: Remembering Hope by Parastoo Rezai

[Gabrielle Sigaki]

This seems to be a great book to those readers interested in realistic romances with some tragic points too. I don't think it is for me since I'm not into romances and because the theme of cancer and grief sounds sorrowful. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the informative review!

I have only yet read a sample of Remembering Hope. Though I enjoyed the beginning of Bahar's story, a few errors and a couple of the author's descriptions left me indecisive about taking the time to finish the book. Your review makes me believe it only gets better from where I left off. Now I would like to read the rest of the story.

Omid was diagnosed with brain cancer, and her wife, Bahar’s life transformed drastically. The story sounds like a heartbreaking one, but also interesting because of the inclusion of some Iranian culture.

Reading the sample I was immediately enthralled and wanted to read more. The author explained their love using such beautiful words where you can picture and feel their romance. This is a love story worth reading.

Remembering Hope summary stands true to what the title wishes to speak about. The author does know how to write about emotions well for what you said, though the book itself is not my cup of tea.

This book sounds captivating, and I appreciate that the author wrote it with such care. Thank you for the beautiful review.

Thank you for the great review it has me intrigued already. I plan on reading this book to see how Baha does in the end and how the family finally overcomes in the end.

This seems like a beautifully written book, Rezai did a great job. Bahar's story engages a reader's emotions, I'm glad she had friends and family supporting her through it all. Thanks for the amazing review, it has piqued my interest to look into this book.

Reading about how tragic the plot is and then reading the title... I am moved and intrigued. This would also be a refreshing read since this is an experience coming from POC characters, written by a POC writer.

I love a good romance now and again and REMEMBERING HOPE starts out to feel promising! Its already warm and sweet with a BFF's story and humorous and surprising in the "blind date" scenario. Further in (now that you're already emotionally invested) btw in comes the"C" word. I can tell you as a cancer survivor going on six years in that this IS how suddenly, unexpectedly and rudely intrudes upon your life when you very least expect it I may have a biased opinion of cancer and all that comes with it but I would still recommend this book to anyone who likes a good Romance now and again.

I like that the book is based on family values.

From this review, I imagine that this book evokes a bittersweet feeling. I like a book that evokes a multitude of emotions coupled with good characterization. Remembering Hope sounds like an impressive book.
This is an amazing review.

Severe illness in a loved one is a difficult life situation, and this is relatable for many people. Add in a love story and children and this because quite the novel. Sounds like a good read!

[Dori Lee]

Thank you for the terrific review. It sounds like you really enjoyed Bahar's story.

I cannot believe how obsessed I am with this book. The preview was just NOT enough for me. I need to know more about Omid. Congratulations on the BOTD!!
