Critics Review
If this moving novel doesn’t leave you in floods of tears you may not have a heart. – Claire Hennessey * The Irish Times *This was one heck of a ride and I can’t say that you won’t shed a few tears, but you’ll also probably burst into laughter along the way too, but either way, it will all be worth it, because Sam’s story deserves to be read…Ultimately, it was an unforgettable experience, so please don’t deny yourself the opportunity to step into Sam’s world and let his story be heard. * Muse of Nyxmares blog *I’m 100% positive I’m never going to get over this book. * A Whisper of Ink - blog *
