    Hope you feel better soon Maggi and take good care of yourself . ... I have finished reading the book. After a point I just couldn't stop reading, I had to know how it ends. I don't want to say anymore and spoil it for other readers.

    Hmm yes Amica I understand, the writer has not spared any details when describing Rena's struggles but having read the book, I will add, (for those to wish to read it) the message that Rena wishes to share is not of pain and suffering but to hold on to ones dreams and hopes even when life seems impossible.

    So time for the next book? Something light this time for sure :)
