Aloha,

Kudos with your review! I am now on chapter ten. The main character is a person you want to be friends with. She has moved due to her husband job. Once she arrives in her new home city, she take a journey of loving herself. I cannot wait to see how this book ends!

If I may, I also think this book is for those that given up on love. Also for couples having problems. This is not a romance book of fairy tale land. It a book that show the stages of a heart.

Thanks for the review. It seems that Olivia is a lonely woman wanting affection from her husband having been away for some time. It is interesting to find out how Olivia and Ash would get along but I suspect they would be affectionately involved. I would definitely finish reading the book.

Great review! Sounds like a great read of re-discovery. Finding yourself after a marriage breakup. I believe it is difficult to learn to trust and love another 100% after a hurtful divorce, but it can happen. Love the fact the book has a strong cast of characters that intertwine with one another with fun dialogue. Captivating dialogue helps me to connect with the characters.

Great review. I'm sure many people have gone through this sort of awakening to a harsh reality. The book sounds like it would be an enjoyable read.

Out of the Box Awakening is one book I won't be able to resist being from the Chicago area myself. This is a perfect read for my long holiday weekend coming right up. I won't do a spoiler, so as to tell that the setting is just perfect.

It sounds like Olivia has a major life-change so that her life can open up. A book about personal growth is always inspiring if you can connect with your characters. Nice job on the review.

Thank you for the in depth review. It's been awhile since I've read a romance novel, but not estranged to it! I like that there is character development which is reflected in the title of the book.I also like that there is humor because frankly life is too serious already and we need levity to help us remain fluid. you express that the pace is a little slow, and that there are a lot of details. I have this book listed in my to read section and I am looking forward to reading it. Sometimes life is in the details... I enjoyed your review (I think I replied to this before, but cannot seem to find it) and am looking forward to reading this book. I thank the author for creating a relational, humorous and entertaining book!~
