Halo., dear author. why this book exactly has the same story right to the every sentence with When The Glitter Fades by Renee Peterson? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...
i just read your book, by accident., due to the genre of second chances romance. but every page, every paragraph even sentence is the exact same copy with the book from Renee Peterson. i thought i was wrong. then i compare the 2 of you, and it's the same! like doing a contrl C + Contrl V.
the only different thing is just the MC names.
can someone explain this?

A Wonderful Read
This was a wonderful clean read. The flow of the story was great and I felt as though I was right there with the characters. This book is a wonderful example of second chances and how God can change anyone if they are willing to learn the lessons of poor choices. I through enjoyed this book.

Redemption and forgiveness
I liked this one. Big themes handled beautifully. It’s a quick read so not a lot of depth but really well done.

Brooke’s life revolves around taking care of Easton. When her family shares the problems they are having she knows they need Jesse’s help. Jesse is scared that he will let Brooke and Easton down again. The characters in this book are all very special people who you will enjoy reading about. You will feel God working throughout this wonderful story. I had the honor to review this book for the author for a honest review. I would give this book a higher rating than a five star review if I could.

God’s Changing power in action
This book was such a great reminder to me that no matter how hopeless a person seems to be, Jesus can still change him or her to be more like Him. Also, this is a message of forgiveness. I don’t think I would’ve been able to forgive so easily, but we really can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Praise God! Very well done!
