** Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review **

I. Have. No. Words.

Seriously, I thought I knew which Bergman brother was my favorite (hardcore Ren stan here! Who doesn't love a delicious cinnamon roll?!?!?) but I think I'm going to have to change that now that I have read Axel's story. I mean...c'mon!

Chloe Liese has done it again. I don't know how she does it, but that woman is pure magic!

Let's start with the highlights:
- Sunshine/Grump PLUS marriage of convenience tropes mashed together in a delightfully sinful way
- The tension...DEAR GOD the tension. The longing that has built up between Rooney and Axel over the course of the series finally comes to a head and we, the dear readers, are gifted with the fireworks we've been waiting for.
- ALL THE FEELS

The only thing that could have made this book better was for it to be longer.

Squeals of delight aside, I honestly believe that Chloe Liese is one of the best writers to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). She has created a series of characters that you cannot help but root for. They are real people with real problems. The representation of physical and mental health issues has been astounding and you can tell that she puts a lot of thought and effort into making sure that the representation is true and accurate. So a massive "thank you!" to Chloe Liese for creating people that her reader's can see themselves in.

Now...to wait for Oliver's book and pray that we can get Viggo's next (seriously, Chloe, we're all DYING for Viggo to have his moment to shine)!

Well, what can I say? My love for the Bergman Brothers series just grows a little bit more with each book and this made no exception. The story of Axel and Rooney and their marriage of convenience was simply perfect. I loved them together, their flaws, their communication, their understandings, their love, and lust, for each other. The way they simply felt safe with one another. The little moments they shared, who made this story so much more.

Rooney is a firecracker who's doing her best to navigate her chronic illness and who believes she's on her own. Until safety and comfort come from the one person she least expects. Axel is the quiet, brooding, type. An artist, a recluse, he believes he's incapable of love in the traditional sense of the word but he couldn't be more wrong and that's exactly what Rooney shows him. Their slow dance around one another, their feelings morphing from lust to love, the little progressions towards realizing how they felt. The way they listen to each other, they understand or try to when it's not so simple. The little family their form with Harry and Skugga. I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK.

I adore Chloe's writing. It's sharp, witty, tender, just like her characters. Her stories are like warm cinnamon buns and soft hugs in the winter. It's comfort as its finest while she still manages to tackle real-life issues we often don't see in romance books with sensitivity and all the care in the world.

Oh how I enjoy this series. I've been waiting for Rooney and Axel's story for a while now and this did not disappoint. I don't think the below is a spoiler due to the information in the synopsis, but this is the forewarning to stop reading if you are going into this novel without realizing the premise.

The marriage of convenience trope can be tricky to pull off but this was done well and didn't go the traditional route where they are trying to convince everyone that the marriage is real, which was refreshing for a change. However, I wanted closure with Axel and his family regarding the repairs that he was doing; maybe that'll be brought up in the next novel?

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I do feel like I need to preface this review with the confession that I religiously checked NetGalley daily for weeks and weeks. I was ready for Axel's story. And honestly, a marriage of convenience love story that takes place in a cabin in the woods of the Pacific Northwest automatically means I'm the target demographic. I don't make the rules.

But this book made my heart skip a beat. I read it in one sitting. Axel and Rooney were everything I wanted them to be. Their chemistry was the perfect slow burn, and the grand gesture at the end was just grand enough without feeling out of character. I love the Bergman siblings, and this book had just enough of them. Not enough to take over the story, but enough that Axel didn't seem too far removed. The perfect balance for me. Plus, it just exudes autumnal vibes. I read it in 100 degree Texas weather and I could still feel the wind changing and the leaves falling.

If you've read any of Chloe Liese's books, you know that she takes her representation seriously, and With You Forever is no exception. I am sure that if I went back through with a fine-tooth comb and examined everything about this plot, it wouldn't be 5 perfect stars. But you know what, I loved it enough to not want to do that, so I think that should count for something. Definitely recommended (especially if you enjoyed any of the other Bergman Brothers titles).

Thank you so much for Netgalley and the author for the opportunity to read and review this book.
This series is one that seems to come to me in the moments I most need it. The leading lady and guy have been in lust with each other for awhile but circumstances arise to have them come together in the most fun and unique way from the others before. There is a ton of self-discovery with both characters but also they work together to create a beautiful slow-burning love that I felt a lot of different emotions for in a good way. I also loved that although it was a marriage of convenience plot, it didn't feel stilted and strange. I think its because these characters have known each other for a long time and weren't complete strangers but still I am not sure. I also appreciated all of their loving care both mentally and physically with each other because that is definitely my love language I have discovered. Overall, this may be my favorite book in the series so far (This keeps happening every time I read them so who knows if its me or the books haha) if I had one nitpick it would be there were a couple of characters that were side characters that I wasn't able to visualize in my head they felt too much in the background to me even though they got a lot of book time. Because of these points, I have to give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars. I loved it very much!

I have been waiting for this book since I finished it’s predecessor, Ever After Always, back in December. In case I have not mentioned this before, The Bergman Brothers series is my favorite. Chloe Liese is a master storyteller, and I love her belief that everyone deserves a love story. I enjoy how each book in the series works as a standalone, but they can also build off of each other as far as characters from previous books taking part in the newer ones, as well as the rest of the Bergman siblings who don’t yet have their story written.
This book has been in the makings since the very beginning of the series, Only When It’s Us. That is when readers meet both Rooney and Axel as the best friend and brother of those MCs, respectively. The tension between them has been building since their first meeting, and this slow burn was worth the wait.
Rooney has such a fun, sunny personality. She is intelligent, driven, kind, empathetic, but also suffering from a chronic illness. And she is trying her best not to let anyone know or ask for help. She takes her BFF, Willa, up on the offer to stay at the Bergman’s A-frame cabin in Washington while she is on leave from law school. She thinks she is going to have the place to herself, but turns out it’s actually the eldest Bergman brother, Axel’s, turn to have the cabin.
Axel, the perpetual grump. I love that he’s even described as frowning in his baby pictures. He is an artist (painter and expert doodler) who, while he loves his family, prefers his solitude. He is so kind, and likes to take care of the people he loves. He may not have a huge social circle, but he connects deeply with those that are part of it.
As the story begins, it is Axel’s turn to spend time at the A-frame. And he is using his time to show his love for his family by making some much-needed repairs. Except, there are more than he expected. And also more expensive. Not being able to stay in the cabin is fine since he built his own cottage on the property..until Rooney shows up. And guess what y’all?! NOW THERE’S ONLY ONE BED! (in case you can't tell, this story has all the best tropes).
They don’t exactly get off on the right foot when Rooney arrives. They are each holding on to secrets, and aren’t initially sure they can trust one another to keep them under wraps. And then, to spice things up even more,they enter into a marriage of convenience. So now, these two that have been secretly crushing on each other are married, but still trying not to even share the same house. And why not add a random stray kitten into the mix?!
There is such a perfect mix of funny and tender moments in this book. I was hooked from the very start and finished the book over the course of one day. I cannot wait until book 5!!!

Where do I even begin?! To know the Bergman’s is to love them! Every one I read I swear it’s my favorite but it actually might be true for this one! Grump and sunshine, yes please! Marriage of convince, so much yes! Slow, painfully slow burn, my weakness! Rooney is such a sweet relatable character and so unapologeticly herself. Axel is the most swoon worthy book boyfriend I have read in forever. This book just needs to be added to your TBR. My words could never do it justice. Chloe Leise is a mastermind of her craft.

Chloe Liese is a mother-effing gift to romance. Her Bergman Brothers series is hands down one of my all time favorites, and each new book feels like Christmas morning.

With You Forever is the fourth book. Axel, the eldest brother and talented yet isolated artist, has been in lust with Rooney since he first saw her. Rooney has been crushing hard on the brooding artist. In order to secure his inheritance and save his family’s cabin, she agrees to marry him—in name only. But what happens when you’re falling for your pseudo-spouse?!

Forced proximity. Marriage of convenience. Sunshine & the Grump. Liese checks all my favorite boxes.

I love the diversity represented throughout the Bergman Brothers series. With You Forever features an autistic hero and a heroine with IBD. Liese has a knack for breathing life into beautiful, complex, completely relatable characters. I will never not love the Bergman Brothers. And Axel and Rooney’s story may just be my favorite.

Chloe Liese always manages to write emotional romantic romances that make you feel as safe and loved as her characters do.

In this grumpy/sunshine arranged marriage romance we follow Axel and Rooney as they get married to claim an Inheritance money to help fix the well loved family cabin and how they have to learn to be around each other while being at their all time lows and dealing with their feelings for each other. This is a story about 2 people to whom romantic relationships never held any appeal and who nedd therapy and who are just so afraid of opening up but can't help themselves around each other.

I truly enjoyed their romance and those sweet and thoughtful moments that they shared. Seeing how safe thet felt with each other to be their true selves was such a sweet experience and it had me swooning. I loved how you could feel their amazement and confusion at finding someone who understood them and didn't demand they be different. From cooking lessons to just being near each other and communicating how they felt and what they wanted was very enjoyable.

I also liked them as characters. They both have their flaws and while completely different, they still manage to be there for each other and understand the other person. Them finding out they loved each other was so... Them, it was quiet and like it had been there all along.

As always, I love how chloe liese chooses to have main characters that are neurodivergent and or have physical disabilities. Highly recommend this book!

I LITERALLY CAN'T DEAL.

I read all 4 Bergman books this weekend and don't you dare make me pick one.
But this one. I have two people in my life with colitis/stomach problems so Rooney's life felt so spot on to what my loved one's experience.
Axel. You swoon worthy man.

If you don't pick these up YOU ARE WRONG.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author for the ARC.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 5/5 stars

Chloe Liese never fails to make me laugh, cry, and swoon. With You Forever is the fourth book in the Bergman Brothers series and is about two of my favorite characters - Axel and Rooney. There is the grumpxsunshine trope AND the marriage of convenience trope AND FALL VIBES. It is the dream.

When Chloe Liese referenced my all-time Lisa Kleypas hero, Tom Severin, as an inspiration for Axel, I knew he would be my favorite. I loved him. I. Loved. Him. His and Rooney’s romance was a perfectly paced slow-burn that Liese managed to make very realistic for a relationship that starts with a marriage. Both characters were well-written and the autism and chronic IBD representation was very well-done. I could not put the book down and, as with the previous three, immediately missed the amazing cast of characters when I sadly reached the story’s end.

With You Forever is a tender, cozy, and heartwarming love story between two extremely lovable characters.

(I am very excited for Oliver’s story, but Viggo…Viggo’s is going to own my heart.)

ARC was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Full review to be posted closer to release date.

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review!

I will start by saying that I love Chloe Liese books. I love the simple but piercing affectivity of her writing. I love the depth and nuance of her characters. I love that she tells you what you need to know about people's different experiences without having it be an exposition dump. I love the Bergman family and the people who join it. This book did not disappoint.

The love story of Axel and Rooney is so gentle and beautiful. It will shatter you and make your heart literally ache with feelings and then put you back together and tuck you safely into bed with the utmost care. The awkwardness, the intimacy, the angst, the care, the (mis)communication, the slow burn, the joy of watching two people figure out how to love each other and be loved….this book is the very reason why I read romance. After the first read I already knew that it would jump to the top of my cozy comfort reads list, honestly, the PNW fall aesthetic is swoon-worthy in itself, and I so look forward to being able to curl up on a rainy day and lose myself in this love story again and again...siggghhhhhh :')

Lastly, I need to briefly talk about Viggo for a second because I love him so much (lover of romance books, a thoughtful and caring sibling, scattered/passionate about new tasks— this reads to me as potentially having adhd like me!) and I cannot wait for his book whenever it comes.

Anyway, PREORDER. THIS. BOOK. IMMEDIATELY. and then....buy a pine-scented candle and a plaid throw blanket, find a youtube channel that plays a log fire, and then prepare to have your heart warmed this September.

This series just keeps getting better and better. Between Frankie's rheumatoid arthritis and Rooney's IBD, Liese does an incredible job representing chronic illness. Axel and Rooney's love story is tender, hilarious, and oh so sweet. I loved the rural woodsy setting, the animals, and the mutual understanding and friendship our main characters develop over the course of the novel. I can't wait for Oliver's book next!

"Tomorrow I'll be brave. Tonight I need to be safe."

Sigh. Swoon. Sob...Chloe Liese has outdone herself this time. I didn't think I played favorites when it came to the Bergman fam, but I lied. Axel is my favorite.

I appreciate that Chloe always shows us that EVERYONE deserves to be loved and cherished. The neurodiverse, those who are chronically ill, those who are disabled and those who struggle...every single one of us.

And this love is so incredibly patient and kind and tender and warm and safe. It's quiet and sacrificial and abiding. The kind of love you just want to burrow into and absorb. It's delicious and respectful and it's everything.

5 stars.

I don’t think I can ever do justice to Chloe’s books. The stories she writes are so real and packed with nuanced characters and emotions. The Bergman Brother series has been so consistently AMAZING. The stories seem to be in a league of their own, and leave me chasing a feeling that 99% of books just cannot achieve.

Axel and Rooney carried the Bergman Brothers story forward beautifully. Axel is so sweet and kind. He’s showing his family love in the only way he knows how: by doing major repairs (in secret) to their beloved cabin. His uncle has left him a large inheritance, which he needs for the repairs, but can only access after he’s married. Happy-go-lucky Rooney just needs a break. With a chronic illness that makes life difficult and, at times, embarrassing, she just needs a safe place to rest and heal and maybe let her happy face drop once in a while. She needs time and space to figure out what she wants in life. Axel and Rooney’s marriage of convenience makes perfect sense. It’s an easy solution. Avoiding all of the life-altering feelings that start flying around is anything but easy!

Axel, being shy and autistic, has carved out a comfortable and solitary life for himself in rural Washington, and doesn’t believe there’s anything more a person could feasibly offer him without forsaking their own happiness. Especially not vibrant, chatty, social-butterfly Rooney. She needs people and interactions and adventure…things Axel feels unable to provide.

I absolutely loved watching these two sweet, awkward people learn to coexist and open up to each other. To be vulnerable and ease in to friendship. To pretend they haven’t always been hopelessly in love. It was a joy to watch Axel grow more comfortable in his own skin and enjoy life with Rooney. To watch Rooney realize she doesn’t have to earn the love of those around her by being perfect. My very favorite scene in the entire book was when Ryder and Willa came to visit Axel and Rooney. The hijinks and LAUGHTER were EVERYTHING. It was such a simple scene, but I felt like I was standing in the corner watching all the secret giggles pass back and forth between Axel and Rooney and it was so heartwarming. I couldn’t stop smiling.

Thank you SO MUCH to @Netgalley for the early copy to read and review. Not to be dramatic, but I was pretty sure I would have died if I hadn’t been approved. 😉 If you’ve never read a book by Chloe Liese, DON’T WAIT! Start today! This book, the 4th in the series, releases this September so you have plenty of time to catch up!

Chloe has done it again! With You Forever (Bergman Brothers Book 4) is a new favorite for me! It’s out September 14th, and I am endlessly grateful for the chance to review an early copy. I highly suggest that you listen to the playlist (shared on Spotify BB#4) if you can. Not only is the music just exceptional, but it makes the emotional connection to the story so much deeper. I have just been listening on repeat since I finished yesterday and I am a pile of emotions.

I have been eagerly awaiting Rooney’s story since book 1. I was a little bit in love with her before I read this book and now I’m head over heals for her. Chloe has been teasing the relationship between Rooney and Axel in the previous books and I was so excited to find out this would be a marriage of convenience with a grump and a sunshine in forced proximity with only one bed. This was SUCH a slow slow burn with so much angst and pinning. It had the meddling from the Bergman siblings that we’ve come to love and expect as well as the emergency meeting of the brothers. It made me want to pack up and move to a cabin in the woods in the PNW. Everything about this book is so cozy and gentle. It’s thick socks by the fire with a warm cup of tea and your favorite book while it’s raining outside cozy.

Rooney finds herself on the way to everyone’s favorite a-frame after taking a leave of absence from law school. She has dealt with a chronic illness (ulcerative colitis) her whole life and is currently suffering from a flare up that has made her current schedule untenable. Despite knowing that it’s Axel’s scheduled time at the a-frame, Willa invites Rooney to come stay and rest for a few weeks. Little does she know that Axel is trying to figure out how to pay for extremely expensive and vital repairs to the house without his family finding out. Normally, he would just sell some paintings, but he hasn’t been able to paint anything but Rooney since she kissed him during charades and he certainly cannot sell those. This leads him to consider the stipulation of his uncle’s will for the first time ever—get a boat load of money as soon as he gets married.

Rooney agrees to the arrangement as soon as she finds out (thanks to more meddling from Axel’s well meaning friends), despite the immense crush on Axel she’s been hiding from everyone since they met. She knows Axel has no romantic interest in her, so what could possibly go wrong? Because of all of the damage at the a-frame, the only option is for Rooney to stay at Axel’s very small house on the same property where he’s used to living alone. Rooney, the stray dog that is definitely not his but one he takes care of and clearly cares for, and a sweet found kitten soon fill Axel’s life with love and noise and the kind of existence he never thought would be possible for himself. The only problem is that this is only temporary and neither of them were ever supposed to fall in love.

I love this book so much. This book that’s about loving someone for exactly who they are and learning how to love them best based on what they need. There is so much wonderful communication between the two of them in every aspect of their relationship. The conflict came to a head in the most perfect way and it hit so so hard. In that moment of uncertainty and anxiety about where they stood and what comes next, Rooney needed Axel’s physical and verbal confirmation and Axel needed space and the time to process how he felt and what he needed to say. It showed that even when we’re bringing all we have to the table, we still get it wrong sometimes. I cannot recommend this one enough and I am nursing a serious book hangover.

I’ve been expecting this book for so long and it totally met all my expectations and more.

I don’t know why but since Rooney first appeared in book 1, I always felt some kind of connection with her. She’s an strong main character who is dealing with stress and a chronic illness. But, since she doesn’t want anyone worrying about her, she’s dealing with it alone until Axel appears.

Axel is the perfect grumpy male character who thinks he doesn’t know how to love someone. He’s on the spectrum and his personality is so well-written.
Axel’s been taking care of a dog for a long time but he always keep denying he’s the owner. He deserves the world!!

Axel and Rooney’s relationship is one of the most real relationship I’ve ever read about. The way they look after each other and comfort one another had me smiling all the time.
Their development was slow and beautiful.

“With You Forever” has become one of my all time favorite contemporary novels.

I have been dying to get my hands on Axel and Rooney's story, and let me tell you, it was beyond worth the wait. Chloe has a way of making every single one of her characters relatable. I got swept up in these two from page one and felt like I was wrapped up in a snuggly blanket, and hugged by them through the whole book!

First, Axel. Sweet, grumpy Axel. I loved everything about him. Too often I read grumps in books and have a hard time loving them at first--not here. Trust Chloe to write the best grump in all the land. I adored the way he pined for Rooney. (THE ART...IYKYK) And gahhhh the way he took such sweet care of her physically and emotionally with her ulcerative colitis. And the way he loves his brothers in his own unique way. I could go on and on all day. You'll love him.

Second, Rooney. Darling, adorable, sunshiny Rooney. I deeply related to her and felt like she could be my best friend in real life. I loved the way Chloe portrayed Rooney's tummy troubles. It was honest, and real, and something more romance needs! Also, she's just fun, and witty, and truly easy to love.

You'll adore this book if you love romances with:
-Deeply romantic open-door steam!
- Excellent communication between characters
- Slow burn + Mutual Pining
- Real world elements
- A memorable cast (Parker and Bennett and Skyler, I loveeeee you)
- A soft story that makes you weak in the knees

Thank you Chloe Liese and Netgalley for this ARC copy! My opinions are entirely my own!

Was this book what I expected? No, it wasn’t. It was more, it was everything and beyond whatever I thought it could be.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐞𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐭𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. It captured everything we believe Romance is about, everything we have been preaching about love, not unrealistic expectations about it, but the most important aspect about it we all atrive as human beings: 𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐰𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭.

I’m writing this review with tears in my eyes because that’s the most romantic thing about this book: Axel and Rooney LEARNED how to love each other. They found in each other such a perfect safe place and sense of belonging, that they wanted to treasure it and care for it.

I knew Axel was going to be kind and caring behind that tough facade, but I wasn’t expecting this tender, passionate and so selfless and understanding man. He felt so hard, so much and his inner dialogue was so vivid and descriptive that I was able to feel everything he was feeling.

Rooney was the most amazing ray of sunshine. She was so empathetic, sweet and thoughtful. She cared so much about everyone. I loved her joyful heart and how quickly she figured out Axel’s code and how easy it was for her to read his needs and love him how he deserved.

I swear their relationship was so beautiful and made me swoon so freaking hard, that I had to stop, gasp, re read, let the words sink in and then look at the ceiling trying to grasp the beauty and powerful meaning in so many passages. I don’t think I will ever be able to get over the sweetness and true loving connection amd understanding coming out of the pages. In every sincle scene, they were always exchanging pieces of each other. That made the slow burn build up to perfection.

The slow burn? Sexy and beautifully satisfying! 😍 I don’t know if anyone will ever be able to write slow burns like Chloe does. She builds them up along with the emotional intensity the characters are going through. It was impossible not to get excited. I fet every single possible feeling with Axel and Rooney!

Special shout out to the Bergman family, who has brought so much joy to my life since book 1! As always, I loved how they were all part of the couple’s journey and how tight their bond is.

I have no idea how she does it, but Chloe writes masterpieces people will talk about for generations of Romance lovers.

𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 comes out on September 14th. Trust me on this one: pre-order it!

Forever grateful to Chloe Liese and NetGalley for gifting me this ARC in exchange for a review.

the ultimate queen of slow burn romance is back with, what is in my humble opinion, her best work yet.

chloe writes with such passion and care that it physically hurts. at multiple occasions i felt myself tearing up at the overwhelming emotions that i was feeling. not because the book was sad, but because it was so beautiful.
chloes books remind me why i love romance so much. they are real, and raw and breathtakingly beautiful. the diversity of her main characters and the care with which she writes them is spectacular. to quote myself from when i slid into her dms the other day: you’re magical. chloe has woven actual magic through her words, of this i am convinced.

with each Bergman book, I said “i can’t possibly love this couple more than the last one” but i have. With Axel and Rooney however, i already know that their story will be my favourite. their love story is so soft and tender; the mutual pining, the a-frame, the animals!

when it was announced that With You Forever was going to be a marriage of connivence trope, i couldn’t begin to fathom how that was going to play out. but it worked and it is perfect. i can’t wait to gush about this book with you all when it comes out in september, but trust me, if you didn’t already preorder it, just do it right now. this story was so beautiful i’m still overwhelmed.

i would be remiss to not speak to the representation of a hero with autism and a heroine with a chronic illness; inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis. Chloe is an #OwnVoices representation in the autism community. as someone who is neurodivergent, i felt so comfortable and understood in Axels POV. Chloe was able to vocalize feelings about relationships while neurodivergent that i couldn’t put into words.

my most sincere and heartfelt thanks to netgalley and chloe liese for the advanced copy of this book in return for my honest opinions.
