“I’m pleased when a book captures me early and keeps my attention until the end and Up Close and Personal certainly did that. There are multiple plot lines to follow and enough action that kept me from wanting to put this book down!” ~ Patricia
“This book is well written, it was a real treat and I loved every page. I definitely recommend this one.”
~ Veronica Marzini
“I cried, yes cried in this one. I felt the emotional journey with each and every character rang true. This is actually kind of two stories in one, as you have a separate plot line with Robert’s oldest daughter. Wonderful read.”
~ Emily Heisler
“This gently unfolding story provides a look at the ups and downs of life when the family unit has been disrupted, by death, divorce, and fertility challenges. … The conflicts faced by the main characters are nicely detailed and the emotional impact of their decisions and their interactions with various individuals is portrayed with realism.”
"Parts of this book I enjoyed other parts seemed to fall a little short for me." ~ Felicia
Jody based the cruise ship in Up Close and Personal on The Epic Cruise Ship.
