You Were There Too by Colleen Oakley Starts Too Graphically
I couldn't get past the prologue due to the graphic nature. I won't post any spoilers and others may be able to get past the violence and read the story. I was unable to do that.

A disappointment
This book was not very interesting to me and I found it a bit trite and silly. Probably because I had just finished "The Overstory" before reading this. I didn't finish it and I did try so that I could do a review, but it just didn't hold my interest at all.

You Were There too
This book did not speak to me. The characters, although reasonably well developed, were not interesting; this, coupled with a plot line that was not compelling, leads to my "poor" rating. Would not recommend this.

Circles of Time and Love
A proverb: Dreams are wishes made by the heart.

I wish I had liked YOU WERE THERE TOO. The prologue was filled with copious sensory images and I was drawn in with the intriguing "It's Him." Sadly, the novel did not deliver all that I felt the author was aiming for. There were interesting statements and questions such as "Do you really know who someone is when you marry them? Unfortunately the story line rambled and was, at best, tepid and lackluster. It was definitely not a dream come true.
