"A saga
This book reminded me that writing is an art form. This author spun a tale so complex and complete that it will resonate with me forever." |

"Amazing!!!
This is a modern day epic love story. It has all the masalas to keep the reader interested for all 670+ pages. The writing is superb. The visualizations were unbelievably real. Highly recommended!" |

Victoria Klein's review
of
The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny:
"This book demands time and patience but, if you’re up for it, it is so worth it. It’s luxuriously long but, none of it felt drawn out to me. I enjoyed reading this slowly and being in this world. These characters were so fleshed out and so real to me"

“Last year when my grandma fell and broke her hip she couldn't paint her toenails anymore. So my grandpa started doing it for her, even after he fell and broke his hip, too. For me, that's love.”

“I know someone loves me from how they say my name. Like with my mom and dad, when they say "Benjamin" it's like my name is safe in their mouth.”

“One can become so sentimental about a person's absence, but it's impossible to be consistently sentimental in his presence - when you're confronted with the quotidian selfishness and silence that, I'm given to understand, comprise most of a life. But we were just so new.”
― A Partial History of Lost Causes

“But all that talk. All those confidences. He shuddered to think about it. At the time, though, he didn't know any better, and he was filled the gleeful lurching and teeth-chattering panic of early and undiagnosed love.”

“I will admit it sometimes felt strange to me to make the confession to someone and later catch them laughing, or flirting, or eating a sandwich, instead of tearing at the injustice of it all or sitting quietly at the center of a grand and monstrous grief. The disaster of my life might be only the worst thing another person heard that afternoon; they might have forgotten by dinnertime; they might have been more heartbroken by watching certain movies.”
