I read this book AFTER I read “I Know What Your Doing: The Whole Story”. The story itself is a heart wrenching, gripping tale of a married man with twin daughters who has lost himself to depression when he can no longer emotionally feel the happiness his life has always offered him. I can express to you how powerful this story is or how much I enjoyed going through the journey with Zane and Jenna. What does disappoint me is after reading “I Know What Your Doing: The Whole Story”, I was expecting more from Jenna’s point of view during all of this, rather than a retelling of what I had already read with a nominal amount of paragraphs added that weren’t in Zane’s tale. Either way, it’s a 5 star rating. There’s no taking away from the storyline, the author, or the personalities in the book.
A great Series and both sides of the Story.
One hell of a rollercoaster ride of highs, lows, emotions, heartbreak, secrets and some real steamy sex…. I went from every emotion possible with their story. It made me cry, laugh, smile, sad, angry, but I wouldn’t have missed it for the world. Its made a real difference to me and my heart.
I had to read all the books individually, and the wait was unbearable. But now it’s one Book no waiting.
I think Zane & Jenna were very brave to write their story and share it to the world.
I know what you’re Doing ~ Series
This is the complete story all in one book. I read it in 3 parts and the wait between them was very painfully hard!! as I was left hanging at the end of “She Loves To Watch Me play” and I was a emotional wreak at
the end of “Our Dirty Little Secrets.” But in “Till Death Us Do Part” my heart was in pieces and I cried even before the book was finished I didn’t see the way this story ended coming !! ( tissues definitely needed)
This Series was the first books from Zane Michaelson and what a amazing start ! I was taken on a rollercoaster of highs and lows these books are very well written and they get you right from the start, Zane’s talent for writing is excellent as it makes you feel all the emotions he, Jenna and Chad go through on every page I felt like I was there with them. What a fantastic ride it was and I’m so glad I read Zane Michaelson story it as touched me in a way no other Story or Author I am not sure my heart will ever be the same again and I know this will stay with me forever.
How Does a Moment Last Forever ~ Jenna’s side :
This is based on real life..
This is Jenna Michaelson side of the story we all know Zane’s we have felt the emotional Zane’s rollercoaster!!
But this is her side told by her in a very well written book you get to know how she felt and what happened after the end of where Zane took us.
I really loved! reading this book I went through lots of emotions, I even had a little cry. (a Michaelson thing!)
Jenna made me feel her sadness, pain, and heartache and how they both got to where they are now.
I felt I was getting to know her with every turn of the page, that takes a special talent I want to say how brave she has been to write her side of the story and how well she has written it so you can feel what it was like for her.
I’m so glad Jenna got the chance to write this book so now we have both sides of a really well written touching, emotional loving story which I have loved being able to share this with them. Their story will live with me forever
My heart will never be the same.I I hope my review does justice to this truly brillant book.
A truly special tribute to Chad. RIP
The whole story rold….. The End
I could not put this series down…. it’s the real life events of Zane and his wife Jenna and the truely heartbreaking experiences they both lived through. This series had me feeling every emotion possible, my anxiety levels were running high. Zane and Jenna have let us into a very private time in their lives and in turn it had me feeling very privileged to have been able to share there experiences with them.
I could not wait to start Jenna’s book, How does a Moment last Forever, and it did not disappoint, in fact it gave me the closure I needed.
This series is 5 STARS all the way and will remain as one of my all time favorite reads.
I was hooked from the very beginning. Zane and Jenna done an amazing job with this one. I felt more emotions with this series than I have ever felt with anything else that I have ever read. The writing pulls you in, and you begin to feel what the all of the characters are feeling. I advise you to have tissues handy. If you are like me you’ll need them!
Zane takes us on an emotional journey through a time of his life that changed everything. Because it is based on real-life events and this is their true story, and he shows us every twist and turn, the good and the bad, the tears and the smiles.
Zane is a husband to Jenna and a father of beautiful twins. Even with the perfect family, Zane feels like something is missing and can’t figure out exactly what it is immediately. Once Zane figures out what he is lacking he takes a path that he is unsure of, with Chad an old friend from college.
It was very sad to see the way everything unfolds and effects everyone. Jenna goes through the roughest time of all of them, yet even during this time she is still a really strong woman..
We find out how his choices effect not only him, but Chad and Jenna as well. He shows us how all of the heartache and his marriage falling apart leads him down a road of bad decisions. When he faces something he didn’t expect to happen to him, he fears it could be more heartbreaking for Jenna than his past mistakes, and he isn’t sure how to deal with himself or the situation at hand.
So much has happened causing him to hurt two of the people he cares about most. Now, he has to find his way back, and hope that his more recent decisions won’t cause more destruction.
Jenna tells you her thoughts, fears, and how she felt going through all the hardships that her and her husband Zane faced. While reading her side of their story you see the love she has for Zane and her strength as a woman shine bright. Jenna never gave up on her husband or their marriage, but she didn’t just ignore everything and act like it didn’t happen either. Through her heartbreak she put her foot down and took control of the situation.
In the same situation most people would give up and walk away but Jenna shows us that if you truly love someone than you CAN make it through ANYTHING that comes your way!
I highly recommend ‘There Are Two Sides To Every Story’!!
This series is hot, heartwrenching, and was life changing for me. There is so much that Zane and Jenna shows us in their own version of events, but you will have to read for yourself as I don’t want to spoil it for anyone.
Kudos to Zane and Jenna Michaelson for sharing their story, which was so raw, intense, heart-wrenching, and heartbreaking, and at times tragic. I went on such an emotional rollercoaster ride reading this book. A few Times I had to step away from the book. However, there were moments when I smiled and laughed. I could feel the love between Zane and Jenna through the pages. I was so moved by this book. I liked that Jenna’s point of view was included. I felt their pain, anguish, and desolation. Their love for one another is so prevalent. This story will stick with me for a long time. Thank you, Zane and Jenna for sharing your story.
An amazing series!
Wow! Not quite what I was expecting but so much more. It’s taken me over a week to be able to write this review because the book left me an emotional wreck! The fact that it’s based on true life makes it so much more emotionally charging. The emotions of the raw, real life story pulled at my heart and soul. It is so amazing that Zane Michaelson has put this wonderful and highly emotive part of their lives into words and my heart goes out to Zane, Jenna and Chad. The 4th part of this series is a wonderful insight from Jenna’s point of view with some serious and comical inserts from Zane in response. Thank you both! PS. The song ‘Knock Three Times” will now forever make me giggle……
Please read this series. So highly recommened.
What an emotional rollercoaster!!
I am speechless but not in a bad way, I know that it had to take a lot of courage to allow us into your life and read part of your most private moments. I was not able to put the book down reading into the wee hours of the mornings. My emotions were all over the place. Sometimes life is not a fairytale ending, but you control it. Jenna was a strong women in Zane’s story. She fought for him and in the end helped him through a rough time in a journey that started a long time ago. This story is so intense. I cried, there were times I would cry out “oh no” then I would be “you go, Jenna”!!. Wow just Wow. Take a chance and follow Zane and Jenna in their amazing Journey. Thank you for sharing your story.
No matter what life throws at you, you have the power to overcome it. I will be reading more book written by Zane Michaelson!!
The trilogy is amazing, and the part written in the wife POV just rounds the whole series out. I definitely recommend these authors and this trilogy +1.
I have thought and thought about this review. I loved each book in this combined set individually for different reasons. Each book will give you a glimpse into the world of Zane and Jenna. It is packed with a rollercoaster of emotions. If you truly read and feel the words put into each of these stories, you will cry with the heartache and pain, want to throw your kindle with the anger, but also wrap yourself up in the love that threads throughout them all. I am honored to have been able to read each one of them and would recommend them to everyone.
Marriage is a difficult institution. Couple it with adulthood, childrearing, family dynamics, and career stressors the weight produces a breaking point. Zane Michaelson tells of his fall down the rabbit hole of each of these stressors and lands in the depression zone. His wife Jenna knew her husband had fallen but had no experience how to fix him. Then, Zane made the risky move of contacting his old roommate. A roommate he’d loved and adored while in college. As he drowned in his own depression, his old roommate brought him back to the light. Little did Zane know his wife was aware of this indiscretion but saw the change in him she was unable to make.
However, affairs of the heart come with consequences, and There are Two Sides to Every Story is an amazing journey of one couple’s fight for the love they both desire. It is a read which I’m still processing daily as it holds incredible value to the human condition.
This is a must-read book. The story is well written and flows. The book takes you on the emotional roller coaster ride of Zane & Jenna’s life. You see the good, bad and tragic events of their life and the long affects it has on all involved. This is a true story of Zane and Jenna’s life so it is filled with a lot of different emotions making it a book you can’t put down.
