This was such a wonderful book!  I could not put it down.  There were time's, I was afraid to turn the page.  I didn't want them to break up, stop seeing each other, most of all stop loving each other.  So, you'll have to read it and see how it ends.  I absolutely loved the story and loved this Authors style.  Thanks, Honey Bee

Every song on this CD is a needed break from all that is repeated on the radio every day. I saw one music video of M on youtube and was intrigued enough to buy an album. I love every song even though I didn't understand a word at fist. Shipping was super fast.

"Just say something to me. Anything." And I thought, Any other word apart from Love, 'cause that word is diluted, and no one knows what it really means, anyway. Uvi Poznansky explores the intricate and complex world of love in Apart From Love. The characters reveal the hidden recesses of their mind as the story unfolds. A delightful narrative that encompasses all the aspects of life: love, loss, suffering, pain and hope. The main characters Ben and Anita are drawn to each other despite the complexities of their life and existence. In a rather unusual way they discover themselves. The journey is filled with heartbreak, sheer devastation and loneliness. However, despite the odds, despite the overwhelming weight of guilt, a light shines at the end of the dark tunnel. What are the odds of Ben and Anita finding a place for each other in their turbulent world? Will they find anything apart from love? Will they find love? Discover the meaning of love hidden in poignant lines, poetically woven to create a canvas of life. Feel the seismic tremors of dark secrets, unbridled passion and a flame that just refuses to quell. A beautiful narrative that highlights Poznanskys adept handling of plot & language and takes you into the mind of a dysfunctional family grappling with universal issues of love, betrayal and forgiveness.

Love how everything is interconnected together and the connections are slowly unraveled. Got a little impatient for the full truth to come out. Very good story!

This book brought out so many things and feelings on both sides. I liked the way the writer goes back and forth between all the people involved so we get a real feel what they are going through at this time in the war for them.
So many sad and happy moments as life will never be the same for any of them.
I have so enjoyed all the books thus far.

Renee Carlino has gained a fan. Before We Were Strangers is easily one of my top books of this year and I would gladly shout it from the mountain tops. The blurb had me at hello and the story gutted me completely in the best possible way. Laced with a heavy dose of nostalgia, the narrative makes you long for a time when simplicity seemed to be the key to happiness.

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." - John Lennon

At 36, Matthias Shore leads a successful professional life. Having been awarded the Pulitzer Prize in photography and working at National Geographic while getting to see the world hardly seems worth it without being able to share it with a certain Green-Eyed Lovebird. In true Ron Livingston style circa Office Space, Matt has had enough of his current situation and yearns for change, preferably one that will not include working in the same building as his cheating and very pregnant ex-wife and her new husband. The ghost of his past and object of his affection materializes feet away after a decade and a half on a crowded NYC subway platform.

"If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with." -Billy Preston

Grace Porter stands on a NYC subway platform awaiting her train. Always listening to the music of the lively city, naturally she rocks on her feet feeling the pulse of the concrete jungle. Having carried on for years in a fog-like state, she's settled on a steady life rhythm until her favorite blast from the past is staring awe-stricken from the other side of the closing doors. In a city with millions of people and without any contact information, fate finds a way to reunite the estranged pair for one last trip down memory lane.

Speed walking, pay phones and actually engaging in conversation with others without the use of social media are seemingly archaic concepts that come alive and transport us to a time of what might have been where we relive the unconventional yet unforgettable love story of Matt and Grace.

In this day and age where we're so technologically connected yet less in touch with each other, Before We Were Strangers reminds us that although life doesn't often unfold the way we would prefer, love will always find a way. And sometimes missed connections and second chances make for a perfect HEA.

BETWEEN ME AND YOU by Allison Winn Scotch follows a couple through twenty years of their relationship. It captures the chaos of young love, the mess of lifetime love, and all the emotions in between. It's very relatable. It also shows you what happens when everyone is watching but no one is paying the right kind of attention. I really liked that the characters were in show business so that you could really see the impact fame has on them as individuals and as parents. I thought the dialog was strong and the character development was as well.

I'm a big fan of Allison's novels so here is where I get torn. I did finish it and I did like it. However, the narration style was difficult for me through the first half of the book. I actually like stories that rotate narration between lead characters and this one is told between Ben and Tatum. What got me was that the chapters are all different months and different years. It jumps all over their 20 year timeline and that made the first third of the book really hard for me to follow. Once I realized who the characters were, it really started to click and I enjoyed the rest of the book and read it quickly. By the end of the book, you can tell why it was told this way. Thus, torn on what I would rate this book but encourage you to read the book yourself to form your own opinions.

I received an Advance Review Copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

My wife's affair tore our family apart.  This book helped me find my way back, and get it right between me and God.

Highly recommended!

This is a lovely book.  Well written by everyone involved.  Dr. Kalanithi considers the BIG questions of life from both sides of the bed.  There is humor, birth, death and love between the covers.  I came away with a better perspective of how to spend my time on Earth.

These are accessible poems: there is a universe between the lines, as there should be for poetry, but there is no impulse to obscurity. Luna Moth takes the luminosity of a creature whose life is measured in days to invite us to infer the infinite. In another poem (Arthropod) a spiders persistence suggests the tenacity of human life, even as the poets mother fades. The Holy captures bits of simple wonder that can arise in the middle of chores and cares. I love this recursion in the middle of the poem Sabbath Morning New York City: Maybe I never let myself be a part of anything / that would remind me that Ive never been / a part of anything. The final line is Instead, I got on a bus with strangers - / watched the landscape grow increasingly familiar. This poem evokes a Hopper painting for me: the lonely urban landscape, the poem making this further point: disassociation is a choice or at least a habit. Miscarriage develops a single startlingly apt metaphor, and Poem for Place reaches out to embrace every place and everybody. I particularly like The Polish Caf. The past forces itself into todays mundane; exactly how I felt when I went to a technical conference in Berlin. And then there is the mighty acceptance of Harbors, the last poem in the book, my favorite for its profound calm and simplicity and for leaving nothing else to say.

Nayomi Munaweeras second novel, What Lies Between Us, fulfilled the grand expectations I had after reading her debut novel, Island of a Thousand Mirrors. I inhaled the novel within two days, becoming so preoccupied with the characters, I could not put it down. This novel explores the nuanced relationships between mothers and daughters. As a Sri Lankan-American, I found this novel to sit so close to home, that once I was finished reading it, I laid on my couch, unable to hold back my tears. It speaks to the subtle hardships that encompass immigrant lives and gives validity to the experiences I have had and continue to have even after living in the U.S for almost 20 years.

Munaweera guides us through the life of a young girl living in Sri Lanka who goes onto immigrate to California with her mother due to tragic circumstances that happen back home. She builds her life in this foreign country and falls in love, gets married and has a daughter of her own. With the birth of her daughter emerges the demons her own childhood which she is unable to escape from. She does what she deems sane and necessary to protect her child.

This is an absolutely gripping novel which explores some major themes considered taboo in South Asian communities. It is refreshing to have these issues brought to light in such a beautiful and tragic way. I highly recommend this novel as well as her first novel. I cannot wait for what she will write next.

Some of the most hauntingly beautiful lyrics. Amazing talent. Everyone needs this album. I think it spans across many musical tastes.
