Would I recommend? Yes. Would I read again? Definitely. A second reading will give me insight into things I may have missed or interpreted different the 2nd time around.
A feel good book

I read the sample, thought I wouldn’t like it soooo I deleted it. I then thought about it, decided to buy it, but couldn’t remember the title!!! Took me two days to find it!!

I am not interested in reading another book …
