Review:
I have not read the rest of your book, but I definitely will after I write this review. Seriously.
You started your story with a conversation between Summer and her therapist, and that instantly gave me an idea of who Summer is and what she's dealing with. You managed to add snippets of her past without it being too much or too little, and that's what I loved. I loved how you gave us readers enough information to hold on to as we read the rest of your story and see everything patch up into a complete puzzle. You made me thought, "Okay, I know what's going on, I can't wait to see what happens next."

Summer is relatable. At first I thought Gray would be a serious guy, but reading a few more chapters it turns out that he's not actually serious and I liked that. I love humor, and seeing that in Gray makes him seem like a fun character. (He also managed to give me butterflies and that's what I'm looking for in Romance books)

There's so many things I want to say, but in short, I liked your book. I will definitely add it to my library and read it in my spare time. Great job!

Review:
I really enjoyed reading your book. I liked how well the characters were written, and how different they were. It was definitely a new approach and I can say that it was executed really nicely. I liked how descriptive the surroundings, the emotions and the characters were. I really liked the storyline, so much that I am continuing to read it further, and so far I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I think you have got great potential as a writer and Unsaid is proof of that. I wish you all the very best for Unsaid, and for the books that you might write in the future.
