    I enjoyed reading it, I was almost going beyond the back cover to look for more of that family. Seems like it's an endless story it's characters are so real and right here living with us. I'm glad that I read your first novel Ayana, can't wait for another same taste.

    I'm reading it now and I LOVE this book. I can't believe this is her 1st novel.
