This may have been a slow read for me; however, I loved the plot and the twists. I did fine the narration of the revisionist to be a tad boring, but I loved how it all came together and the character diversity.Popsugar Reading Challenge: Classic Romance

The Power is Within You Is a book about discovering the power of loving yourself and how it can benefit you. From loving the child within to accepting changes, this book is filled with ways to overcome life's troubles.★★☆☆☆
"The thoughts we choose to think are the tools we use to paint the canvas of our lives." I made it 66% into this book and I put it down. The author gave examples of a situation, stated the advice that was given, but many times, never followed through with the outcome. It leaves me with questions: Did it work? Was the outcome what was expected? And so forth. I found myself doubting the context and soon abandoned the book all together.
