“An insightful book with a great storyline that deals with serious issues love, gender roles, relationships, and family pride. You could feel the internal turmoil the character is going through all throughout the book. Joey was a pretty amusing character to read, but at the same time, you just can’t help but feel sorry for her. It’s amazing how the author made the transition of the character and introduced it to a wider variety of maturity and greater knowledge of self and others. ” - Matchstick Review Central
“The author did a great job at playing with a reader’s emotions. The way she portrays the character’s contradicting ideas about life and making decisions for yourself and others is breathtakingly impressive. Make no mistake, as this is no love storybook! A book with a mixture of confusion and dedication where life proves to be the greatest lesson.” - Matchstick Review Central
” Times have really changed. Readers will grasp the importance of every women’s role in society today and the kind of ordeal and struggle they will do to gain respect in many areas of the world. As you go through the chapters of the book you won’t really anticipate what’s about to happen, you’ll keep guessing and won’t really know what to expect. The book isn’t without flaws though, but, the author could’ve built up more each of the characters. Nonetheless, I would suggest anyone with an open mind for reality-dramas to go read this book.” — Matchstick Review Central
“An intriguing book about a woman who seeks adventure to explore the world but met with life unforeseen circumstances. The book tackles the issue of feminism and the value it adds to our society today as our status quo must be challenged. Though some readers might find the book cliché, the author did a great job to get the points across. A very well written book that created a fearless character out of Josephine McPhally!” - Matchstick Review Central
