Praise

This was an awesome read. I'm a HUGE crime reader so this was a change of pace for me and I was not disappointed at ALL. The characters and the story line are realistic. I plowed thru the first book in a day or so and quickly finished the second book. If you're looking for a realistic love story this is something you should give a try!

This book here is so good 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I mean I wanted to throw my damn phone at times. This book will hit home for some because we tend to be blinded by love and just go with the motions you will have to read to understand my statement. Keontry is something else I almost I feel bad for him. Then we have Nova like all the signs were there but the sexual relationship clouded her judgement. Ginger she just crazy. I can’t wait for what’s gonna happen next. I hope it’s not who I think got hurt. Grab you a copy because this book is so good.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It is the perfect read-aloud for littles. Take it outside and read it at the park or inside during mealtime. Really any time is good!
The author creates plenty of opportunities for kiddos to recognize all the colors that surround them!

It’s Time To Unpack goes digital!!!!!

I originally wanted to keep this journal paperback only because I wanted to encourage ppl to take the time to sit down and just focus on them. In that moment or hour(s) let what they were carrying to be unpacked with just them at the forefront, then it hit me…. That can be done just the same digitally and can reach more people. I’m only one person yet I want to help oh so many, and turning the journal into an ebook allows me to expand my reach and hopefully help more people unpack the things...
