#Closure #NetGalley



I loved the description of the book. Maybe I had high expectations or something, because the book did not live up to what I thought it would.

I was surprised to see so many deep subjects being discussed in the book.

The most disappointing aspect was Trey, I really did not like him.

I did finish the book and i'm sure people will like the story, it is supposedly based on a real life story.

My thanks for the complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review thank you netgalley.

The book was good, the main characters sometimes provoked me. I can understand Tara and her young age, we all suffered and wanted something that was unreachable to us at that time. I had a problem with Trey, he was constantly doing the same things, its everyone's fault but his. ....etc .. But, this is a real-life story, everyone knows some Tara and Trey in their private lives.

I was so frustrated reading this book. I cannot believe that a woman like Tara would keep falling for Trey and his lines.

Absolutely dumb. This is like a teenage journal where she learns nothing from the age of 5 till she is in her 40's. I can't believe I actually read the whole book. I hoped and hoped it would get better but that didn't happen. You have Tara who is the main girl in the story who falls for Trey and they both like each other but things keep happening that they can't seem to connect for a forever. She is screwed over 100's of times by him and Trey is just a douche bag. She measures everyone against trey and doesn't get married to another man until she is 30 and it just blah blah blah through the whole book. Its based on thousands of peoples true stories about first loves, not a darn thing special about this one and didn't need to have a book about it.

First, I want to thank Tasche Laine, Sky Blue Press and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Get ready for your heart to go on an emotionally drowned roller coaster ride while reading this book!! If you read this book and don’t shed some tears I will be shocked! I was bawling my eyes out in many parts of the book. Tasche Laine is officially one of my new favorite authors!! I must read and review for her again!!

Warning: this book discusses tough issues that may trigger some readers might such as rape, talk about abortion, terrorist attacks on 911, and clinical depression.

Kudos to her Graphic Artist for her cover. It is a beautiful picture of two kids side hugging on a deck over looking a lake. I will admit that pulled on my heart strings. It was one of the deciding factors plus the blurb to read the book. I am thankful for NetGalley for having this book offered on their list. You can find some great authors and publishers such as Tasche Laine and Sky Blue Press.

She says so in the book. This is not a love story this a life story-based on her own life. I did love the love story between Tasha and Trey over the years. That was a unique story.

My heart went out to Tara on many different occasions. So many times I wanted to jump into the book and give her a hug. Some of the situations she was put in so was I.

There are so many incredible lessons in this book to be learned by Tasche! Some eye-opening insights as well.
What made this book incredibly special was it came from Tasche’s heart since it was her own personal story. You could tell how much the characters meant to her. How truly special Trey was to her and their relationship over the years. Plus, the life lesson she learned through all of this.

This book had so many twists and turns to it. You didn’t know what was going to happen!

This is one book that I feel strongly should be made into a Hallmark Channel Movie. I think it would do amazingly well

This book deserves more than 5 stars in my opinion!! It had a little bit of everything you could want in a book.

This book had a promising start but somewhere along the way the story became a long winded narration of the ''love'' story between Trey and Tara.The narrative is good in quite a few places but there are few loose ends.The biggest minus was the lack of depth in the storytelling.The love story played out like any romantic movie with too much lines about forever but that alone was not enough to get me to sympathize with either of them.Sometimes it looked like it was more of a 'break-up & again make-up story.The initial start was really good and that got my expectations really up.Maybe I had great expectations - it looked like another teen love story.

Very sweet book about love.. If you like to read Biographies / Autobiographies then this is a great read.

People who are interested in Biographies / Autobiographies and Memoirs will want to read this book! This book was very well written and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I give this book 5 stars. Provided to me through NetGalley. Thank You!

I started reading this and immediately found Trey to be a self centeees boy who never grew up. I understand when the author was young she could forgive anything but the fact that Trey used her time and time again and even gave up on his kids without any remorse has me shaking my head as to why she would want to explore her feelings for him when she was so much older, and a mother. I’m not sure if all of this story is true and I understand the ending of closure but the fact that she would continue to run back to the cause of so much heartache time and time again, and also potentially the underlying cause of her failed marriage just baffles me. Based on a true story or not the author comes across as a door mat who just keeps giving

Closure by Tasche Laine is an interesting story. There were parts I had problems with. I didn't understand the over the top feelings for Trey. I was very disappointed in Joe. I thought he was a good guy who really turned into a jerk. There were several editing errors in my copy of the book.

Closure is a true story. A true story of friendship, marriage, and letting go. After 40 years of friendship, being engaged, breaking-up, losing touch, and finding each other it was time to say goodbye. The Author really and truly believed that her and her best friend were destined to be together. They both did. Trey had 4 children, was a grandfather and been through two divorces. She has one child, and didn't get married until she was thirty. Then her husband wants out of the marriage. Her and Trey can now be together. After all opposites attract. And they really don't have anything in common, except for a deep love for each other.
I enjoyed reading this book. The Author is real is sharing her feelings and her story. It is heartbreaking and heartwarming.
Strongly recommend.

Closure, Tasche Laine

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre:, Biographies & Memoirs , Women's Fiction

Moan... “women's Fiction” category. Why do we do this? Moan about equality and then prop it up with stereotypes about what men will and won't read!!
I read the sample and wanted to know more. I expected a romance, my bad, it doesn't say “romance” in genre, but we're told the fall in love, and the question of second Chance is posed...
I found though that I didn't like Trey, he kept doing the same over and over, writing to Tara, professing to love her, then letting her down. And she falls for it. Every. Single. Time. Shame me once etc didn't seem to have crept into her mentality. I kept wanting to scream at her “show some backbone” its clear he isn't going to change but she blindly convinces herself after all the hurt he's put on her that this time it will be different.
Needless to say I hated Trey. I did feel for him on their first big problem, sadly its something that happens to many teens, they just don't think ahead, get plunged into situations they simple aren't ready for, didn't expect and don't have the emotional stability to deal. Trey was a classic, its everyone's fault but his. He keeps on pulling Tara back, reeling her in for entertainment each time he's bored, dropping her when something different happens. I wanted to kick him, shout at him, just ask him to leave her alone if he wasn't going to follow up.

I can see others love this story, that's great, we all have different tastes and there's books to suit all out there. This just isn't one for me though.

Stars: Two, I wanted to like it, expected to like it but...
