One Shock After the Next! Talk about a Creep Fest..

Thanks to Carter Wilson, I still can’t get Mister Tender out of my head, and after reading this, I’m betting you’ll have the same problem.

Alice Gray, (formerly Alice Hill) is a small cafe owner living in Massachusetts who thought she had escaped her past - unfortunately for her, she is very wrong. At the age of fourteen, Alice was brutally stabbed by two girls in her class who were inspired by Mister Tender, someone they would do absolutely anything for. The problem? Mister Tender is a fictional character created by Alice’s father. The girls who stabbed her went to prison for it and Alice, her mother and her brother, Thomas ran. Alice has been in hiding ever since. Now, a decade later, Mister Tender is back. He is following Alice’s move, in the most horrifying and vivid of ways and get this: he’s not the only one. As for Alice, she’s scared to death and to be frank, so was I.

“Mister Tender’s Girl” is a mystery/suspense that had me looking behind doors and tearing open shower curtains. My heart caught in my throat many a time. It is a complex mystery with several storylines all of which melded together extremely well. Never once did I figure any of them out. Carter Wilson did a phenomenal job crafting compelling, well thought out characters whose pulse you can feel racing as if it’s your own. This is one gripping read that I highly recommend to anyone looking to be on the edge of their seat till the very end.

This was a sister read with Brenda and Kaceey. I’m so glad I read this one with them. If only I could have held their hand..

I was lost in the creepy, wooded craggy coulee with Kaceey and Susanne reading Mister Tender’s Girl and we were having quite the creep-fest as Susanne called it in our coulee. Once we started this entertaining fast-paced story we tore through it in almost a day, terrified and wanting to get out of the coulee as fast as we could but enjoying this chilling story.

Mister Tender’s Girl is a complex, dark, and intriguing suspenseful thriller with a few layers that adds some great tension and reason to find a place to hide from the dark tall towering trees and shadows that felt like they were hiding the fictional character Mister Tender and the identity of Mr. Interest. We were gripping our books tightly while holding our breath and we were constantly looking over our shoulder, not even trusting each other to move till we finished reading this story. We feared the fans to this pop-culture fiction story and couldn’t help thinking the dark brushes were hiding them.

Carter Wilson does a fantastic job creating some very interesting, damaged and complex characters that all have their own concerns to this unique clever and well-written plot-driven story. We loved the relationships that our main character Alice had with her brother and father and that added some softness to this dark story.

We highly recommend joining in on this creep-fest and grabbing a copy of this book but keep your eyes open for Mister Tender and his fans.

Everyone was comparing this to the Slenderman case, but to be honest, I couldn't get past the first few chapters. The sentence structure was choppy, and what I imagine was supposed to be an OCD-like mental illness was just so bland and stereotypical I couldn't get past it.

3.5 STARS

"For better or for worse, Alice, you can never separate yourself from your children. They are an extension of you. I haven't spoken to my girls in over ten years, but they are still a part of me."

"Like a tree," I say. "Branches on a tree."

"No," he answers. "Like a cancer."

This was one messed up book, and I mean that in the best way possible. While it won't be the preferred taste of every reader, those who enjoy tales of dark deceit and disturbing disasters will likely take to Mister Tender's Girl. I kept spying raving reviews of this book on Goodreads, so like the good girl I am I immediately went and requested it from NetGalley. #FOMO I can 100% see where all the hype is coming from, and I love that the inspiration for this unique tale is somewhat grounded in the reality of the Slender Man stabbing. If you enjoy mysteries but are a bit squeamish, you'll want to take a hard pass on this one, but if you enjoy the heavier, more graphic side of the genre, you're in the right place.

We find out right off the bat that our girl Alice was the subject of a gruesome attempted murder by teenage twins aiming to please Mister Tender, a fictional bartender in the graphic novels that Alice's father penned. It was rumored that if you could please Mister Tender, he would grant you the greatest desire of your heart, and the twins wanted everlasting fame. Well, I guess they got it one way or another. Hence the "Mister Tender told me to" story. Fast forward 14 years and Alice is still trying to escape her past. She's moved with her mother and brother to America and the twins have recently been released from prison. Someone is gearing up to mess with Alice again, and this time it's escalating quickly. Who is Mister Tender and what does he want with Alice?

Let's start with all the things I loved about this book. I was in the mood for something highly entertaining, something I could get lost in yet not have to think about too deeply. This was the perfect novel to do so in, because it is gripping, exciting, and perfectly equal parts breath-taking action and suspenseful character development. While there are many mysteries, great and small here, I didn't feel the pressure of having to solve them myself. I was able to just sit back and watch it all unfold. I was fully invested in the reveals, but was able to wait and be shocked along the way, instead of rushing about trying to figure it out before the author decided to let us in on all the secrets. I hope that makes sense.

The characters, the plot development, everything was perfect for me up until about the 85% mark. I was all set to give this the biggest, fattest, five stars you've ever seen, but then the ending happened. Let me clarify-I loved the who and why of the reveal. All the pieces that tied this portion together were perfection. What I didn't enjoy was the how. The final "big showdown" wasn't grand at all; in fact, it was anti-climactic at best. I can't give any detail for fear of spoilers, but I sat there shaking my head going "REALLY? That's the best way this story could end?" for a full hour before I could move on to reading something else. Perhaps I just was expecting something a bit less cheesy, but it felt as if the author got to this point and lost steam. Otherwise, this book was amazing and I still recommend it purely for the enjoyment factor.

I'm new to Wilson's books, but I've seen his previous The Comfort Of Black floating around Goodreads with copious praise, so I'm more than intrigued to read another story from him. This was overall a well-written, engaging, and at times terrifying read; the type I'm always wishing to find more of. Carter Wilson is clearly an author who knows how to entertain his audience by including meaningful family drama with his crime fiction, and I hope to continue seeing his books plastered across social media in the near future. Highly recommended for those looking for a little less mainstream read; one that isn't a cookie cutter reading experience but will take you on a wild ride, if you allow it to. Go ahead, tell Mister Tender your deepest, darkest secrets. He's listening. :)

I can always count on Carter Wilson for deliciously creepy reading! I've read and enjoyed Carter's previous books and certainly wasn't disappointed by this one. Thoughts of the Slenderman case come to mind of course, but that's where the similarity ends. The characters are very well described and Wilson's use of language in description is fresh and intriguing. The story goes off in different directions I never imagined and there are plenty of twists to satisfy any mystery-lover.

A book that's almost impossible to put down until the final page!

Mister Tender’s Girl is one of those books that gets under your skin. It’s a creepy book that gave me a serious case of the goosebumps. It’s one of those books that makes you want to look over your shoulder when you’re reading because you have an irrational fear that somebody is watching you.

The Story brings to us Alice Gray. On the face of it Alice is doing okay, more than okay even. She owns a nice house and has room for a lodger in a separate set of rooms above her property. She has her own business, a coffee shop with regular customers and she looks after herself working out at the gym a few times a week. However, as soon as you start reading this it becomes immediately obvious that there’s more to Alice than at first meets the eye. There’s a sense of fear and suspicion in the way she interacts with others and she comes across as so tightly wound that one nudge could take her over the edge.

Approximately 10 years ago, Alice Hill, aged fourteen, was the victim of a vicious attack. She was stabbed multiple times and left for dead. The attack became something of a news frenzy for more reason than one. Firstly, the attack was carried out by twins who happened to be classmates of Alice. Secondly, and probably the real cause of the frenzy, the twins claimed that they stabbed Alice in order to please Mister Tender – a fictional character from a graphic novel created by her father. Following this the family struggled to cope, the parents split and the mother took Alice and her brother and moved from London to the USA (where Alice changed her name).

So, Alice is coping. She has PTSD and panic attacks occasionally but she’s getting by day to day until she receives a package in the post that contains an unpublished copy of one of Mister Tender’s tales, a story that in fact depicts Alice as she is now. This is a story that, although started by her father ,was never completed. Overwhelmed by guilt after the attack on his daughter Alice’s dad immediately stopped writing about Mister Tender and a few years later was himself murdered. Someone else has picked up the mantle and sent a new story to Alice immediately squashing any feelings of security that she was clinging to and plunging her into a fear fuelled trauma. Determined to no longer play a victim in her own story Alice decides to take action and once and for all put these ghosts from her past to rest.

I’m not going to go further into the plot. This is as much a mystery as it is a gripping, tension fraught thriller and coming to the story without any preconceived ideas is definitely the best way to get the most out of the read. I, for one, had no idea where this was taking me and I certainly didn’t second guess the ending. I found this totally compelling, I was scared reading it but equally scared to put it down – I simply had to know what was happening. I think the reason why this is so scary is it has this horrible sense of being watched or stalked. Somebody knowing exactly where you’ve been, what you’re doing – is there really anything worse – I think the idea of the mysterious watcher is almost worse than what they may be potentially planning. It’s just that dreadful sense of fearful anticipation where your imagination takes over and makes things even worse and this book captures that feeling so well and does so in a believable fashion.

I think the other thing about this is the awful realisation that victims of crime can potentially attract such unwanted attention, the sort of attention that is deeply invasive where people have become so fascinated with the victim that they become obsessed. That feeling of reality, together with the fact that this story was actually inspired by a true crime is what gives Mister Tender’s Girl it’s real edge.

In terms of characters. I liked Alice, I felt scared for her and I was pleased when she resolved to take control. The characters around her are more thinly sketched but quite easy to imagine and in a book where everyone could potentially be a suspect it’s probably better that the author is a little bit careful in terms of what he reveals.

I really enjoyed the writing style. It has a crispness that really lends itself to the style of the book. It isn’t overly descriptive or weighed down with exposition. Everything feels relevant to the plot and the style successfully ratchets up the tension and creates a fast paced read.

I didn’t really have any criticisms although the ending did feel slightly off kilter and I’m not really sure why. In one respect I liked it and think its perfect, especially in terms of the graphic novel that is the underlying foundation of the whole story. But, in another respect it felt like things happened so quickly, Alice seemed to act out of character and it had more of a horror feel somehow. Now you have to take into account at this point your own wimpometer or ability to cope with horror and understand that what I find horrible or scary you might find to be not so much so – just bare this in mind when picking this up. Also, not a criticism but worth noting, particularly as I predominantly read speculative fiction – this book is a mystery/thriller story.

On the whole I had a thoroughly good time with this book – in other words I was gripped with tension and full of fear the whole time – which for me equals success.

My thanks to the publisher for providing a copy of this, courtesy of Netgalley. The above is my own opinion.

This book successfully creeped me out! I’ve enjoyed this author in the past, and this book did not let me down. I liked that it was not a cookie cutter type thriller. I truly didn’t see the twists coming. It held my attention, and I didn’t want to put the book down. Thank you for the advanced copy! I will highly recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Mister Tender's Girl is a truly original take on the stalker/mystery genre, done in a very easy to read, absorbing and fast paced way.

Alice Hill was viciously attacked and left to die when she was 14 years old. Her attackers were two classmates, who believed that Alice was meant to be sacrificed to Mister Tender - except Mister Tender isn't real, rather, he's the lead character in the graphic novels that Alice's father wrote.

Over a decade later Alice is working to live a normal life. But there is someone who has been watching Alice, and who is determined for her to understand that she can never outrun her past, or Mister Tender.

This book is inspired by the true events surrounding the Slender Man case in the US several years back - and that similarity makes it all the more creepy to read. Carter Wilson did a terrific job of piecing the story out in quick, short, bite sized chapters that keep you on the edge of your seat, and flying through the book. He also created a highly atmospheric and tense setting for the events to unfold - there were parts when I wanted to jump ahead to see what was going to happen, because the tension was getting to me - in the best way possible.

It was not till the end that I could see where the twists were leading, but I will admit, I had several theories that were never right, and THAT makes it a great read for me. A terrific mystery drama, especially for those who love books inspired by true events.

Interesting premise, good twists and turns. At several points I audibly gasped. I got really excited when I saw that Alice was obsessed with working out, but I never got the feeling she was super capable at defending herself. This made her a less exciting character but it made the action feel more dangerous. No spoilers, but I felt the final reveal was a bit of a letdown. I was hoping for a bit more mystery or just a hint of something more out there.

This is obviously inspired by the Slenderman case a few years back, but it's also very much its own story. 

There are two especially fascinating parts in this for me: the idea that someone could become so obsessed with a fictional thing that they'd commit murder (or try to, anyway) for it, and the question of what would happen to the girl that almost died. This novel answers the second question, but not the first. (Which is actually fine; I'm not sure there's an acceptable or plausible answer for this anyway.)

Alice is a survivor, although she's currently hanging on from habit and spite. She's not particularly close to her mom and brother (her dad, the man who created Mister Tender, has since been murdered) and she has no real friends. (To be fair, I would imagine that her past makes it hard to trust people.) I love her, but she's not necessarily easy to love. And again, that's all understandable.

This is a weird combination of novel and thriller, but it absolutely works. Recommended.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I have mixed feelings about this book. Although I do not like fantasy
and ghosts, there was something about it that kept me reading on. It's
a very dark fast paced read. Well done

OMG, this book!

This was an unputdownable suspense filled thrill ride … no doubt about it. Poor Alice … she suffered a horrific attack as a young teen, her family’s messed up, she’s got a knife phobia, her ex is a drug addicted felon … she’s trying to move on with her life but she just can’t forget and sees shadows lurking around every corner. What’s that saying? It’s not paranoia if they’re really after you!

Library Journal got it right: “... a can't-put-down thriller that will reverberate with readers. The characters are well drawn, the plot hums, the creepiness level is high, and you won't see the ending coming. Fans of psychological suspense shouldn't miss this great thrill ride.”

It just came out this week and I expect author Carter Wilson will have a hit on his hands. And it’s under development for a tv series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 / 5

First of all, many thanks to Sourcebooks Landmark for providing me with an advance review copy of this book via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Mister Tender's Girl is fiction, but is actually inspired by the true story of The Slender Man stabbing. If you aren't familiar with it, two girls were arrested for stabbing another girl 19 times as a tribute to the internet meme "The Slender Man". The girls were all 12 years of age. If you've never seen the character, it's creepy AF and I don't recommend looking it up. But that's up to you of course.

Mister Tender's Girl is the story of Alice who gets stabbed at the age of 14 by two girls seemingly possessed by "Mister Tender". Mister Tender is a half man/half demon who works as a bartender in London, and enjoys getting people to commit violent crimes with promises of what they want most in the world as a reward. Mister Tender is a fictional creation of Alice's father no less, and appears in graphic novels that are ended when Alice gets out of the hospital after the stabbing.

We catch up with Alice at the age of 28 in Massachusetts where she is now the owner of a coffee and sweets shop called the Stone Rose. Where it appears that Mister Tender is back.... among other problems resurfacing from Alice's past.

Mister Tender's Girl was an incredibly fast read, and has super short chapters which helped me breeze through it. I had such a hard time putting it down, and it was SO close to being a 5 star read for me. The book is told all from Alice's viewpoint which I think worked perfectly. I don't think I would have wanted any other viewpoints besides hers anyway.

Not gonna lie to you though, the end of this book was pretty damn disturbing. It actually kind of threw me off and was a tad gory. The book in general was at times a bit gory and made me cringe. Just wanted to throw that out there! I don't really care about the gore, but that's just me. It really wasn't that bad besides some visible cringing on my part.

My biggest issues were that the whodunnit didn't end up being as exciting as I was hoping it would be, and I was saying "DUH" in my head to some things that Alice was just figuring out. Those two things are really what brought this from a 5 to a 4.5 for me. At the very end I was just kinda like "OH".

Final Thought: There are plenty of surprises in Mister Tender's Girl, and a lot that I didn't have figured out. Just because I wasn't super impressed by the "whodunnit" does not mean that you won't be! If you love a good mystery and don't mind a little gore then this book is definitely for you. I also realized after reading this that Carter Wilson is local to me. So bonus points to you if you live in Colorado and read it.... you're welcome. ;)

Alice Hill is attacked by knife wielding twins when she is 14 yrs old. They were inspired to attack her by her own fathers graphic novel Mr. Tender. After the attack her parents divorce and her mother moves her and her younger brother to the U.S. from London in hopes of escaping the past. As we all know sometimes the past does not want to be forgotten and here begins our novel.

This is a fast paced read with short punchy chapters that keep you flipping the pages. At almost 400 pages I was able to finish this in one sitting. This book is very entertaining but it was a little over the top for me. Some things I just didn't find believable or realistic. I know, I know .. this is fiction and it doesn't have to be believable but some things just niggled at me. I was also a little underwhelmed with the ending. I will say that Carter Wilson is an excellent writer and I look forward to seeing what he can come up with next. 3.5 Stars!

Big thanks to NetGalley for providing me with a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review. Also thanks to BookishFirst for sending me a copy via a giveaway win.

I really enjoyed this book. I finished it in two sittings.
Alice is the daughter of a famous illustrator and creator of the wicked Mister Tender which comes with huge down sides. She was attacked at age 14 by two girls who thought they were doing Mister Tender's biding. More than ten years later she can't escape her past when some named Mr. Interested starts to meddle in her life.
The chapters are short and easy to read creating a great urgency as you travel through the novel. The novel is as twisty as the stories of the Mister Tender graphic novels making this not your typical psychological novel; I couldn't see most things coming.
I subtract a star from the ending. It's one of those that builds up and it finished with in two pages with very little resolution ta the end. Also, the majority of characters weren't given a lot of depth. I assume those outside her family were kept shady on purpose so we could stay guessing about who was Mr. Interested.
Overall, a great read and I recommend it to my friends who like thrillers!

There is nothing unique about Mister Tender's Girl, but there is still something compelling about it. Some of it is due to the nature of the crime. Another element is Alice herself. The rest is due to Carter Wilson's ability to write a story.

Mister Tender's Girl mimics the real-life Slender Man crime with an added dimension; Mister Tender is the creation of the victim's father. As the story occurs more than a decade after the attack, we see the long-term damage wrought on Alice, her mother, and their family. No one comes through the event unscathed, but the levels of psychological damage in each party is as surprising as it is interesting. In particular, the exploration of guilt and forgiveness - of the girls, of Alice's father - is thought-provoking.

Alice is quite the character. What occurred to her that long-ago evening left more than physical scars, and no amount of time will recover what she lost. Nor does it help with the nightmares and flashbacks that cause debilitating anxiety attacks. The one thing Alice has become though is a fighter and not just physically. She knows her weaknesses and never stops attempting to overcome them. Moreover, she has wrested back control of her life from her overbearing mother, from the media, from her assailants, and from wacky fans. Watching her struggle to maintain that control is heartbreaking because every time she succumbs to the panic reaffirms just how thin her veneer of control really is. She is not fragile, as her determination to uncover the truth behind Mister Tender's return confirms. However, the damage resulting from that night never stays far from the alsurface, and Alice's coping mechanisms are not enough to protect her from the flood of emotions and memories Mister Tender's return causes.

Mr. Wilson is able to take this psychologically complex story and create one that is difficult to stop reading. He does this by allowing us inside fierce but vulnerable Alice and the effed-up situation in which she finds herself. And the situation is disturbingly odd. There are some twists that take you by surprise and have you questioning everything alongside Alice. He utilizes the setting really well to set the mood and enhance the creep factor, but it is through Alice and her relationships with others where he tugs your heartstrings.

In spite of all of this goodness,  Mister Tender's Girl as it draws to a close. Your interest in and sympathy for Alice never waivers. The problem occurs with the identity of Mister Tender and the answers to some long-held questions. What was creepy becomes a bit preposterous, and it takes you right out of the story. Plus, as fantastic as the story is (until the end), it is not very memorable. When working on writing this review several weeks after finishing the novel, I could only remember that I enjoyed reading it but could not recall any details or even the basic plot. Novels like these are not bad things as they serve the purpose of escapist literature, and sometimes you need to escape into a somewhat sinister world of cat and mouse. There is a part of me though that wishes the story would have held strong until the end and been more memorable than it is because I so thoroughly enjoyed reading it. At the end of the day though, Mister Tender's Girl is another example that we cannot always get what we want.

I think this is based on the Slender Man case...that I completely didn't understand. I had to ask the kid. Apparently two girls stabbed a girl because Slender Man told them too.


Okkkkaayyy.

This story is about Alice who was stabbed by two twin girls and left for dead when she was fourteen. The girls were trying to impress a character from a series of graphic novels called Mister Tender. Mister Tender was a bartender/demon who would give you whatever your heart desired if you did little jobs for him.



The topper was...Alice's dad was the author of the books.

Now years later Alice has moved to the states and has changed her name in hopes of escaping her past. Then she gets a never released copy of a Mister Tender book featuring some images of herself. She realizes that there are some Mister Tender followers that are a tad bit over the line. Including one that calls himself Mr. Interested.

This read fast and several times I thought 'what the heck.' It did keep me entained and even though some parts of it were just over the top I still had fun. So what the heck...I'm giving it four stars.

Booksource: Netgalley in exchange for review.

Thanks to Sourcebooks for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

Who here is fascinated with the Slender Man case? I definitely am and the whole idea of Slender Man sends a shiver down my spine. A faceless man/demon that gets you to commit violence - no thank you! Well, MISTER TENDER'S GIRL by Carter Wilson is inspired by these true events and he does a fantastic job sufficiently making you uneasy as you read.

Alice is trying to run from her past. She was the victim of a brutal attack at the age of 14. Two "friends" of hers took her into the woods of Gladstone Park and attempted to kill her in the name of Mister Tender. The worst part? Mister Tender is a character from a series of graphic novels that her father created. He is part man and part demon that gets you to commit horrific acts of violence and in return you will be rewarded what it is you want most.

She changed her name and moved cities trying to put the past behind her. One day she is sent something that shouldn't exist - the cover art of the final book in the Mister Tender series. Her father vowed to never draw him again after her stabbing. It is soon revealed that she has a stalker, someone that has been following her for years and knows her deepest secrets. A man known only by his username: Mr. Interested.

Will she be able to rid her life of Mister Tender forever? She is on a mission to get to the bottom of who her stalker is and what he wants with her. With lots of twists and turns this story will keep you on the edge of your seat!

I read this book in one sitting and I definitely read well into the 2am hour. I love horror and suspense, and it takes a lot to creep me out. Well done Carter Wilson, as I was turning off the lights in my house I had that eerie "something is behind me" feeling. You know that speed walk you do when that happens, where you're trying to not make it obvious? That was me!

You will not regret picking up this book! I want more about Mister Tender - it would be so interesting to see more about him and how he was created/other stories about him.

I give this a solid 5/5 stars!

Crazy unique plot, brilliant storytelling - you will not trust anyone for even a second. You will be horrified and scared and creeped out.

Read this one in less than 24 hours. I want this review to be short and sweet so you can go into it knowing as little as possible.

Recommend reading with the light on.

4.5 stars

Thank you to Netgalley, Sourcebooks Landmark and Carter Wilson for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

At the age of fourteen, Alice was brutally attacked by two of her classmates who claimed to be acting on the direction of ‘Mister Tender’, a fictional comic book character who claims to give you what you desire most – but only if you complete horrible acts. Incidentally, Mister Tender was created by Alice’s own father. Left barely alive, Alice’s life changes forever.

Now, more than 10 years later, Alice is living in a new country and has attempted to leave her past behind her, until she realizes someone is watching her. As disturbing events escalate, Alice wonders how safe she really is, and who is watching her.

As soon as I read the description for Mister Tender’s Girl, I knew I had to read it! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – I am a HUGE fan of books that involve stalking, and this one definitely had a stalking element to it!

This book drew me in from the very first page. It was gripping, chilling, twisty, and definitely had its creepy moments, and I loved every second of it! The entire time I was reading the book I kept thinking that a movie version of the book would be amazing, and after I finished it I read that it’s been optioned for a TV series, which I’m so excited about!

I loved our main character, Alice. She has worked really hard to move on from her past and not be the victim. She takes self defense classes, runs her own business, and no one knows who she is. When her past starts to come back to haunt her, she does everything she can to attack it head on, rather than try and run from it.

I had a lot of theories about how the book would end, and I was pleasantly surprised when none of my theories were correct! I like when I can be surprised by thrillers, and this one got me! This one was definitely a page turner, and the grand finale did not disappoint!

This was the first book I read by Carter Wilson, and I was absolutely mesmerized by his writing style. For such a disturbing subject matter, I found the writing to be sort of lyrical, and I really enjoyed it. I can’t wait to read more of his books!

All in all, I rated this one 5 stars, and I can’t wait to talk about it with you guys! If you’re a fan of chilling psychological thrillers, you wont want to miss this one! I’d like to thank Sourcebooks Fire for my copy of the book. It was my pleasure to provide an honest review!
