J.S. Wilsoncroft's short story, Remembering Zane, made me want to jump into the story with the characters.
From the moment I picked this book up, I couldn't put it down. I felt all of Bonnie's highs and lows. I just wished it had been a novel, rather than a short story.
Bonnie met the love of her life at the age of ten. Zane was the apple of her eye, her everything, the man she was going to spend the rest of her life with, marriage and children...the perfe...more

First off, I was really put off by the random tense changes and the commas that were in places they didn't need to be. I can usually overlook editing issues but I picked up quite a few in here that distracted me from the story.
About the story, the whole thing just didn't flow for me. I mean, first of all, Bonnie and Zane hadn't been together in years and she's like beyond devastated about his death, which I can understand to an extent. But what the author doesn't really cover is what happened to...more

I must say from the onset that I normally do not read romance stories, but felt compelled to pick up Remembering Zane and read it. I immediately became captivated by the author's writing style: airy, sensual and detail oriented. I love details, and Remembering Zane did not disappoint. It is extremely difficult to write using an omniscient point-of-view (the writer getting into the thoughts and motivations of each character instead of the usual one person point-of-view), but Jamie Wilsoncroft pul...more
4.5*
Bonnie is devastated by the tragic death of her one true love, Zane. We follow her as she struggles through the days and weeks and learn how she comes to terms with the situation.
This is a very moving short story, the description made it easy for me to put myself in Bonnie’s place and feel her pain. The way smells and colours reminded her of him were true to life and I found those scenes heart wrenching. There were some points that I was unsure of their relevance to the story for instance Bo...more

I was absolutely loved this book! I couldnt put it down!! There was so much emotion in this book, i actually cried! I mean to loose someone you love died what would you do? Espically if it was someone you loved since you were 10 years old! Wilsoncroft knows how to write a great book! I cried when something sad happened and I laughed when there was good parts.

2 SAD Stars.
While I loved the premise of this book, the execution of the story was very disappointing. This book is very poorly written, the story does not flow and there is no sense of a timeline. After reading this book I was left with one HUGE glaring unanswered question; WHY did Bonnie and Zane break up after being together for 10 Years? This book had the potential to portray this heart wrenching story of the lost love between Bonnie and Zane, but if fell short. The emerging love story betwe...more

This was a great novella about love after tragedy. I couldn’t put it down. High school friends are brought back together by a death that changes the course of their lives forever. This was a very emotional read on many levels. It was greatly written and flowed extremely well. I found myself wanting to read more about their high school days as well as their future life. It is a great story of finding love through obstacles of life and has a very touching ending. This was a great romantic read. I...more
I have said this before about this book, but I will say it again; this is the hardest book for me to review. I love this story so much it is difficult for me to talk about it without giving too much away. Ms. Wilsoncroft grabbed this reader from page one and reluctantly released me at the end. I laughed, cried, and just plain loved this book. Bonnie and Jonathan have to endure so much in order to reach the climatic end to this story. It broke my heart to read who Zane was thinking about in the e...more
Wilsoncroft got picked up by Write More Publications and they did a reprint of Remembering Zane. Gave it a beautiful new cover and even a couple new chapters were added as well. Being a HUGE fan of Wilsoncroft I jumped at the chance to review it again. To see my first review go

Definitely not an erotica, but I pictured Jonathan naked for most of it, so I was satisfied! haha.. Great book. Very cute, I was a little annoyed with Bonnie, I couldn't understand why she didn't see what was right in front of her! I was screaming! Bonnie, he's right there, he's sexy, he's funny, you've known him your entire life! Then she noticed, and I was taken. Very sweet, very romantic, and ... I loved the ending. If I were a romance reviewer, I would give this 5 gushing hearts... ;) Lovely...more
Remembering Zane is a novella about two High School friends that went seperate ways and reconnect years later under heart-breaking circumstances. What follows is a wonderful, emotional love story that demonstrates how fate can lead two people together, even in tragedy. It's very well written, and the author does a particularly good job at giving a real feel to the characters and their fluctuating feelings as the relationship grows. A tear-jerker with a hapy ending, loved it. Five stars, recommen...more
I have been spoiled by authors much better. The story is cute, sweet, and über romantic. Yet the characters felt so waxy, soap opera mannequins performing. I couldnt relate to anything (and yes I have lived, know what love is and experienced tragedy). It all about an unrequited childhood crush that our main lady doesn't want to let go of while using the obviously fallen for her best friend. I usually love corny and cheesy romance, but this did nothing but make me shake my head.
Sweet. Romantic. Emotional. For a short read, this little novella gives you a BIG story. The story of lost love, failed marriages and renewed hope to finally be with the one person you've always wanted. Sometimes, they're staring you right in the face but you miss the signs and that is one of the underlined messages of this little gem.
I would recommend this to everyone. It's short and you can easily slide it in between your larger reads.

This is a sweet little story about love and loss. It's sweet and endearing. By sweet, I mean the sex is implied, there's nothing steamy. There's not really too much spectacular. Very little dramatic climax. It's basically, hey I love you, always have, oh hey, just realized I love you, let's get married. If you're looking for a quick joyful, happy ending ... read this! Looking for something with more action? Find something else.

I read this book a long time ago, and I loved it. Bonnie's high school sweetheart tragically dies, leaving her in a heap of dispair, but with the love of another friend, she learns to move on, and in the end, she gets a good life. The story is short, but impacts you while reading it.
(Amazon reviews were deleted. I read this book a while ago, but can't remember the date.)

I thought it was a little weird that everyone was so worried about Bonnie, when her and Zane hadn't been together for years. They broke up and he got married, but people were worried about her and how she was taking it. It was weird. Then Jonathan comes back into her life and out of nowhere she realizes she loves him? It was just didn't make sense or flow in my opinion.
It was a tender story of loss and finding love in the midst of grief and sadness. I enjoyed the book very much. J.S. Wilsoncroft is an excellent writer who always brings the emotion to her stories, and allows you to connect to the characters in a special way.
Wow! Jamie Wilsoncroft has completely blown me away with this novella. The only issue if i had to name one is it ends to soon. Talk about an emotional rollercoaster ride. For a .99c read this is one book you cant miss. It is a perfect sunday afternoon read!

Let me start off by saying that I won this book on Goodreads.com I do love the idea and concept behind this story, and it was very much so, a quick goodread. However, it was a short story, I can see how some of the details had to be trimmed off the top to fit the novella format. With that said I just wish I could have felt more for the characters of Bonnie and Jon, like if they were all such good friends why lose contact with each other for so long? What happened in that span of time? And why wa...more

Remembering Zane is a wonderful read! It's the beautiful story of two friends finding their way after a huge loss. It's a story of love, living and romance.
short, sweet and romantic. :)
Check out my review @ beccab8.blogspot.com
Really good story. Though I didn't find it very sad - which is normal for me unless its super sad - I enjoyed the story and characters. I'm not religious either, though felt as though these two were meant to be with how things had played out for them.
