"A dazzling, globe-spanning tale. In a beautiful way, the story explores how powerful connections can be born at a distance. The storyline is rich, with authentic emotional struggles and believable relationships. Throughout, simple, evocative language and bold descriptions are intermingled with flashes of poetic imagery. Aided by strong thematic undertones, subtle symbolism, high stakes and an ultimately hopeful narrative voice, Evy Journey has delivered a captivating story." -- Self-Publishing Review

"...one of the most beautiful books I've read in a long time. Emotive, gripping and sweeping... a tale I will remember for a long time."  -- International Review of Books

"... a beautifully-written, marvelous story of two people discovering their emotions and learning to trust each other." -- San Francisco Book Review

"... a tender and captivating story that delves into the many existential questions we ask ourselves frequently... with a nuanced understanding of different cultures backed by a worldly sensibility of travel, poetry, and design. The prose reads like a painting adding depth and complexity, making for some beautiful imagery." -- Reedsy Discovery

"This emotional story, with its clear prose and crisp dialogue, will appeal to those who enjoy romantic literature and are not afraid to engage with the ugliness of the real world. Journey's three-dimensional, well-developed characters carry this appealing story of building new bonds in the midst of loss and heartache. Great for fans of: Nora Roberts, Nicholas Sparks." -- Booklife Review
