My rating: 4 of 5 stars

First, I want to thank Michael H. Miller for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.

What If An Exploration Into The Mind by Michael H. Miller was a very fascinating read. I was actually surprised as I don’t usually read books like this.

I really liked the cover and how the title What If was jumbled with other color words.

Review: A Hope For Emily By Kate Hewitt #BookonTour #Bookouture #Netgalley

Looking back, I wish I could find my way back to that moment. I’d snatch it and hold onto it and live in it for the rest of my life, if I could. When Emily could still throw her arms around me. Oh God, just give me that moment, or one like it again. That’s all I want.

From the moment Emily was born, reaching out with her tiny little star-shaped hand towards her mother, blinking with long eyelashes over soft blue eyes, she became Rachel’s whole world.

“Even if it turns out we’re not his parents?”

Izzy’s eight-year-old son Noah is her whole life. With his long eyelashes, mischievous grin and boundless energy, he’s got her husband Pete’s sunny outlook and Izzy’s curious mind. When they receive a surprise phone call from the fertility center that helped them have Noah, it’s surely nothing to worry about.
