“You’ll always be perfection in my eyes.” 😪🤧😩
Whew this was DEEP!! I had no idea what to expect when I started this book nor was I prepared for the emotional journey it would take me on. When I tell you this book took me THRU IT!! Wow! It was A LOT! “Sincerely, me” takes us on a journey with Solana as she navigates life after the consequences of other peoples actions. She has lived a life most would crumble under after having to endure. She is a successful real estate agent that is at the top of her game but she is also navigating through life as a functioning addict. The trauma that she endured growing up has her looking to escape in any way possible and she takes full advantage of every opportunity.
When she crosses paths with Sevyn, her Mr. Perfection, she has no idea that the life she could only dream of having is finally within her grasp.
Sevyn and Solana take us through every emotion possible and you can’t help but root for them. I understood their battle and I don’t fault Sevyn for decisions that he made. At the time he thought it was in the best interest of those that he loved and my only wish was that extended more grace to Solana.
Shame on everyone that failed Solana and wasn’t there to protect her during her childhood and even adult years. I’m thankful that Sevyn was there to give her a glimpse of what it’s like to be loved unconditionally.
I won’t soon if ever forget these two nor their story. I cried SEVERAL times during this read. It was heavy at times but real, raw, honest and impactful.
I usually say that the older catalogs for some of these authors don’t age well but this book is better than most of Charae’s recent work! It definitely teaches valuable lessons in so many areas of life as well as how you can and should be a little bit kinder to others because you never know what they’re may be battling with.

Poor Solana😢 This was HEAVY. I feel like I knew Solana and just wanted to give her the biggest hug throughout this entire story.
And Sevyn… such a good man😍
Be mindful of heavy topics before picking this up such as: heavy addiction, grief and loss.

This is the best book I've read ever
I don't even know where to begin. This was perfect. From the start to the end. There should be trigger warnings though. It does deal, with abuse, addiction and suicide. But there are so many lessons to take from this book. It was deep. But so well written. The characters felt deep, the plot flowed. Charae is truly a talented writer. She knows how to portray flawed characters that are so realistic. It's incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It brought tears to my eyes.

Addiction
I have to give this book a 5 star because it was everything! I think I saw maybe 3 errors if that and the story flowed so graciously. Sevyn and Solana story was so misunderstood and I rooted for them til the end. Solana story definitely touched me I related to her story the most but Sevyn stubbornness is me all the way. Happy it didn’t leave no loopholes and the whole story was just amazing. I highly recommend

Good read
This book had real tears coming down my face. That’s how you know it’s good. The characters were well developed and reality. This was my first book by this author and I would definitely read another.

Damn Charae knows how to tap into ones emotions. I was surprised at who actually played a part in everything Solana experienced because I thought it was someone else. Solana's life was spiraling out of control and I wasn't sure if she'd ever get right. I loved Sevyn and how he loved those around him. He stepped up big time for Hazel even though he wasn't ready to let go. Sparkle got on my nerves with her trifling behind. It was crazy how a one time thing flourished into something more. Sevyn wanted the best for Solana and I was glad she got to experience love. Carla was a piece of work and she took no responsibility for her actions. Man my heart hurt for Solana once she got caught up again. Her decision to resort to her old ways and lie made her lose the one constant in her life. I knew Solana's call had another meaning but I was hoping she'd be strong enough to get her thoughts together. Man Sevyn had me breaking down right along with him.

A crying mess
Man Charae didn't have to do the readers like this. I knew it would be great but didn't realize it would be so emotional. I think any author who pulls the kind of emotions she pulled out, has definitely done their job. Solana's story was sad and angered and my heart went out to her. I loved Sevyn and how he truly did seem like perfection. Between Hazel and Solana, it was too much. I definitely recommend this to other readers.

Sincerely, Me.
This book definitely had my emotions all over the place. The things both Solana and Sevyn had to deal with had me in tears. Solana wanted love from the people around her so bad that she couldn't love herself. She was addicted and did what most addicts do. She wanted to do the right thing but she couldn't get over the fact that her so called family was never going to accept her no matter what. Her meeting Sevyn was definitely life changing. The love they shared was definitely priceless and addicting as well. Sevyn's point of view was definitely understood but it does sucks on what really happened. I definitely felt the emotions of this story and cried real tears throughout it. Sincerely Me wasn't what I thought it would be but it did not disappoint!!!

Wow!
Sincerely Me- Charae Lewis
Wow! Damn!
*Swipes hand down face*
Ok like...wait.
See when...
But...
I'm having a hard time reviewing this book. I say I'm addicted to emotions that an author can pull out of you...My mind is going in so many directions right now.
Let me see what I can come up with, without giving the book away...
First off, Harvey and Carla 🖕🏿period!
Next Quesy😒🙄, homegirl👏was👏not👏Solana's👏friend👏
Last 😒😣😟😫 this was just a messed up situation man. See I think Solana messed up when she wouldn't be truthful with Sevyn about slipping into depression. No matter how many times he took her back, as long as she lied, he could not help her. None of us can say that the last time she learned her lesson. I will dispute that 🤷🏿♀️I really think her life that she was given is more than she can handle. Look you know what? I'm still messed up, ion even know if I am making sense😣I can't even finish this review. I need to talk to somebody now, yall know any good psychiatrist?😫

Not gon lie I’ve been in a reading funk and Just wasn’t ready for these emotions to be revealed. As always Charae does it. We have all been where Solana was maybe not as broken but we have been broken. I was really rooting for her when she met Sevyn. I was happy she found her knight in shining armor. He needed her love as well. I love a man who takes care of his kids and his a protector. Sevyn was that man! I hated her family they were evil as I don’t know what. That stepmother got exactly what she deserved. Don’t want to give to much away. Great job as always. Suck an amazing read. Had me in tears.

The writing was amazing!! I was hooked from the 1st chapter. It was definitely a relatable book. You hear stories like these all the time. I dated someone with an addiction and it is very hard to do. I definitely felt for Sevyn in this book. Solans I also felt bad for because she really needed someone to love her enough to stick around and she never had that. Such a good read!! I would recommend it to anyone!!

This was a heavy, but necessary read. This was an accurate depiction of the rollercoaster ride of emotions addiction has on an addict and their loved ones. I don’t think people really understand the importance of their presence in an addict’s life, and this story shows that. Great read. However, if stories about addiction trigger you, this may not be the book for you.

Dannngggg
What a story. This author has a way of penning a story so eloquently that takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I was rooting for Sevyn and Solana, but in the back of my mind I had doubt that she could win her life back. Being a child of an addict, it was so easy to identify with Sevyn's feelings on the subject. I got where he was coming from and probably would have come to the same decision regarding walking away. It's hard... great job Charae!

Oh my gosh
So this book took me on a journey of emotions. Solana was battling a whole lot of stuff and so was Sevyn. You could see her cry for help and no one was able to

Heart breaking
Wow...I don't know how to feel. Solana went through a lot in her life starting at 5 yrs old. Her own family abused and molested her. I liked Sevyn but, I think he was a little to hard on her.

PHENOMENAL
This story is very good, however very heavy. This story bought out so many emotions. I felt read bad when she was reaching out to people and no one would help her. I am glad you touched on the topic and how it effects the family as a whole. It was very well written.

This book was so good. How could a person harbor so much pain. I really wanted to see Solana get her happy ending. Be prepared to shed tears.
