How to Walk Away

How to Walk Away, is well-written, poignant, and a bit inspiring!

Overall, I did find myself rooting for Margaret, and at times not wanting to put it down as I looked forward to seeing where the story went, which doesn't happen too often for me in the romance genre. However, some aspects of the book, nearly had me waking away, but I am glad I finished it though, and did end up enjoying it.

How to Walk Away, is a great reminder to be grateful for what you have now in life, as it, and life as you know it can all truly change in an instant.

With that being said, however, this is not going to be a book for everyone who loves romance novels, as this is not your typical romance-style read, at least I didn't think so. You see, there is a lot of drama almost an unnecessary amount from other characters that can take away from Margaret's story a bit, and was actually the reason why I almost stopped reading it.

I did feel that the author does a great job of bringing you into Margaret's world, as she goes from surviving to flourishing and navigating through her new life.

I do think How to Walk Away, would have been much better with a bit less fluff, almost at times overly trying, because didn't make the tone of the tragic moments fit. Also, a bit less outside drama from the other characters, as Margaret and her life could have easily carried the story on its own

I did find this one a bit harder to review, as If I say too much I would give too much of the story away if you know what I mean. The best thing I could say is to keep an open mind, and don't go into this book thinking it is the typical romance read.
