As an author, a publisher and someone who does reviews often, I think I am pretty much an expert on how not to write a review. As I have said before, reviews are never to be personal. That does nothing for the reviewer, in fact it questions their credibility. Second own that review. Do not put things like Amazon Customer, Annoymous, Or Likes to Shop or any other title other than your name. The reason is simple . If you are going to write a review good or bad , own it. Taking the coward’s way out is just that. If you have enough guts to write it, own it.

So here is the review … Remember Art imitates life.

  1. the person does not own the review.
  2. They make it sound like they wanted to be in the book but got left out.
  3. Then it goes down hill. Being vibrant adults which sometimes grow physical and sometimes result in marriage. That has nothing to do with anything.
  4. They are unaware of any relationships that are in the book. Again, what does that have to do with anything it is fiction
  5. My favorite, the book is being passed around the park more than the character Lala. That is indeed rich.
  6. “Everyone knows who the characters are.” I have no words, I see jealous feelings here.
  7. Then this person goes after the author. They state the author is a “woman scorned” well that showed up in another review which leads me to believe this is the same writer.
  8. This person also states the author has a love called J.D who she calls coffee. I have no words.
  9. the reviewer goes on to state that the book is not a page turner it is paragraph after paragraph of bizarre situtations conjoured up in a tormented mind which is in need of psychological guidance to be healed from her abuse so that she doesn’t continue the cycle as the abuser and live her remaining years peacefully. Hurt people hurt people. Yvonne is hurting : (
  10. So now the reviewer is in the medical field.
  11. All I can say is thank you for this review as it will shoot book sales right to the top. The last two sentences tell this writer that the reviewer is the one who needs to heal.

1.0 out of 5 stars The book is a ruse to gossip about people she doesn’t like

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2025

I may or may not be a character that the writer/self published author created. I live in the same trailer park where this book takes place. We are vibrant adults who have many years ahead of us and we establish relationships which sometimes grow physical and even result in marriage. I’m unaware of the relationships that she is purportedly saying have taken place between the married people whom she makes no real effort to conceal their identities. She does seem to be a woman scorned and is on a mission to hurt people. Her book is being passed around the park more than the character Lala. Everyone knows who the characters are. The only “southern flavor” I find in this book is the influence of her lover, J.D. whom she likes to call “coffee” It might explain the obvious torment that she suffers from that causes her to act out in such a way. The book isn’t a page turner. It’s paragraph after paragraph of bizarre situations conjured up in a tormented mind which is clearly in need of psychological guidance to be healed from her abuse so that she doesn’t continue the cycle as the abuser and live her remaining years peacefully. Hurt people hurt people. Yvonne is hurting : (
