Yours Truly is a beautifully intimate and emotionally honest novel. Sofia Kalife writes with a quiet elegance that makes the story feel deeply personal and real. Her prose is thoughtful, restrained, and full of heart, allowing emotions to unfold naturally rather than forcing them.

What truly stands out is Kalife’s voice as an author—empathetic, confident, and incredibly perceptive. She captures vulnerability and healing with remarkable sensitivity, balancing pain and hope in a way that feels authentic and relatable.

This is not just a love story, but a reflection on resilience and the courage it takes to open your heart again. Sofia Kalife proves herself to be a compelling writer with a voice that stays with you long after the final page.

A great debut novel. This book is built up of highly complex and excellently well described characters, so very raw and real that makes you feel everything along with them. From the very beginning, the author’s style of writing wraps you in and hooks you for the ride. Nothing like a books that consumes you and makes you forget you actually have to put it down and go to sleep or go along with your day.

If this is Sofia’s first dabble into publishing a book, I can’t wait to see what else she has got to share with us.
