This story is a wonderful mix of special hopes and dreams! My friend Kimberley did an excellent job sharing her soul in her first, but not last, book. Anxiously awaiting the next one!

Each book brings out my warm fuzzies, & I always marvel at the reality and depth of the character development and quality of writing on the whole.

Oh my gosh I am in love with this book.  I'm only on page 123 and I'm so happy to be reading it.  I stopped at page 55 to tell my daughter about it, again at page 110 (coincidence) ... it is lovely, sweet, I love the characters, love the story so far -- sigh...

This book will take you on a sweet and blissful journey into your heart space! Kanta Bosniak's book,&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Love-Poems/dp/1468120069/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Love Poems</a>, is like a rich and decadent dessert...each bite will leave you wanting more. It connects you to the romantic in us all and transcends the realm of human connection to take us on a trip to the sacred space of the Divine. It was reminiscent of the deep and yet still playful ruminations of the Sufi poets that I love so much...Rumi and Hafiz.

I smiled through every page as my heart opened and then melted!
Sincerely,

Yes! Yes! I loved this book. It has a sense of eavesdropping into the lives of the characters that I love. Some of the transitions to reverie stubbed my reader's eye, but the characters and story kept me reading long past bedtime and again first thing in the morning until I had licked all the delicious words off the pages. I wish she had given me more about Walter and Aaron's life together, but maybe that's for another volume? Bravo!

I couldn't put my kindle down! This particular book had me staying up to the wee hours of the mornings to "finish just one more chapter." It has me wanting to stay in bed all day, missing meals and bathroom breaks just reading about this fantastical world. I find myself reading every chance I get. Such as staying in my car until the last possible moment when I have to leave for work. Or taking out this gem and reading on my lunch breaks. I can't get enough! I'm obsessed!

Only reason I didn't give a full on 5 stars is because Zoe has done quite a few remarkably stupid choices. Which ,of course results in a bad, albeit predictable ending. It gets really exasperating after a while.

Other than that, I highly recommend this book! :)

Amazing, I was instantly hooked and drawn into the setting, the characters antagonists and all is not what it seems. There is such beauty and wisdom in the pages that I was left breathless. From start to end a superbly evocative book that will leave you clamoring for the next two. I know I did! I have become a huge fan.

I ordered this book with pleasant expectations. From what I knew, there was ballet, romance, a discovery, and a cat. I was enthralled by the prospect. Then, as I started reading, my mind was filled with the sweetened sensation of entering the perspective of a character I could completely relate to. Her insecurities, her flaws, her dreams, her passions, her unwillingness to settle, her creativity, I fell in love with her. . .and through her I found a deeper understanding and love of myself and my own journey of life, ballet, and faith. I am a sucker for sweet stories and this did not disappoint. I found myself squealing and awwwing at every progression. At the end, I sighed a complete sigh that only comes from the total satisfaction of the development of the story, but still wishing I could hang on to the dear characters a little longer.
Joanna is not only an amazing writer, she is an amazing observer of humanity and an ambassador of dreams. She carefully crafted a novel that touched the heart and provided a refreshing look on what it means to pursue our dreams and discover ourselves. It's not always the picture perfect process we imagine, but the process is perfectly poised to bring out our potential and through that, our joy. That is the best takeaway ever. To know that dreams can be reality and we can find the boldness to create and live a fulfilled life.
Thank you Joanna for the gift of creating Cantique. Can't wait to read more stories from your exquisite mind! <3

This book was delicious -- it carried me away to a world rich with sensibilities I rarely make time for, a realm of sensation, emotion and humor that is nourishing to my heart, mind and soul.  I kept asking myself, why, why don't I come more often to this place in myself, for the sheer pleasure of it?  Claire paints with words, and whole interior cities are discovered.  Mia corners the truth with a stroke of her intuitive wand, and voila!  Clarity!  Not to mention they're both hilarious in their own way!  Life-affirming for any mother or daughter, yes, but for me the book was a gateway to a richer life.  I didn't want it to end, and realized it didn't have to!
