5-Star Testimonials for October In New York
PW – A Sweet, unconventional love story.
An excellent, quick read! The plot switches through different times and locations in the relationship between the two main characters, yet has a steady flow and is easy to follow. The characters were likable and believable, and the dialogue did a great job of moving the story along, and showing the feelings of Gwen & Thomas. Can’t wait for the next work by this writer!
Nokia 6250 – October In New York Review
Lina Rehal has written about an interesting love triangle and the complications distance adds. The plot, characters, and settings draw you in to the end. It is not a typical love story.
