Critics Review
“Not a Strong Enough Word is a masterclass in the heartfelt, emotional journey of a second-chance romance. From the relatable characters, to the literary setting, to the friendships, I adored every page. Scarlett and Ryan’s love is deeply romantic, in a soft, tender way that will pull at readers’ heartstrings!” – Jillian Meadows, USA Today bestselling author of Give Me Butterflies“A deeply emotional tale about healing, re-connection, and the strength it takes to face the past.” * Kirkus Reviews *“Readers who appreciate tender rekindled romances, strong female characters, and stories set in the publishing world will find this story deeply rewarding.” * Kirkus Reviews *“There’s something about Allie’s writing that feels like a warm cup of coffee and Not a Strong Enough Word was not the exception. Except, this time, the cup of coffee came with a box of tissues as a side. Every word in this book was delivered with emotion and something that I can only describe as magic. Allie comes straight to break your heart, but don’t worry, by the end, she mends it again.” – Ambar Cordova, author of The Truth Never Spoken“Allie Samberts delivers a heart wrenching second-chance romance, drenched in the messy, beautiful weight of grief, burnout, and hope. Raw, poignant, and unflinchingly real—Not a Strong Enough Word will stay with you long after the last page.” – Linny Mack, author of Changing Tides“Perhaps the perfect words for this breathtaking love story are ‘must-read.’” – M.K. Williams, author of The Infinite-Infinite“Allie has mastered the art of balancing the rawest emotions with hope, and joy, and pleasure. A truly special book. I have not stopped thinking about this book. Allie has captured grief, and overwhelm, and the weight of pressure so astutely I felt she could have ripped these words from my own soul. A must-read for fans of Book Lovers, Writers and Lovers, and Beautiful World Where Are You.” – Holly June Smith, Author of Can I Tell You Something?
