    I laughed, I cried, I gasped! The Confessions of an Inept Love Soldier is a breath of fresh air! Honest and beautifully written. I have the utmost admiration for the author for putting pen to paper/fingers to keyboard to share her Love Soldier to Love Conquerer journey. Looking forward to reading future works! Highly, highly recommended!

    Well, when I started reading this I didn't like it very much, but the more I read, the more I liked it and by the time I had finished it, I wanted it to go on and on.
    What else can I say: been there, done that, got the tee shirt.

    A brutally honest book about love and hope! Highly enjoyable read, with lots of laugh out loud moments but also some parts that are pretty tragic. Rather brave to put it all into a book really, but one of those books I am glad I read.
