Read what people are saying about Emily-A Compilation of Short Stories
A reader verbally requested me to write more stories about Emily and Wiliam because she really enjoyed the stories. She sais she staled to read the last two because she did not want it to be over.

This is a collection of short stories that were originally published in an online publication in Canada. The author combined them as one book which seemed to flow like a journal or diary of sorts. Emily is the main character and the stories follow her life for about a year. She goes through many of life's perils in this year but it is done in a manner that is realistic and relatable. The author doesn't seem to force the stories but rather lets them flow as though they are recollections one is having. Each individual story has it's own plot and theme which lends itself well to the entire collection as a whole. We see Emily go through life's big moments, motherhood, marriage, death of a loved one, everyday life in a manner that isn't trite or mundane. It was refreshing to read life as it happens without all the frivolous ribbons and bows. The author did a great job of describing the scenes so the reader felt as though they were in the apartment or at the funeral home or even on the cruise. The stories were well written and I enjoyed the whole collection.

This book is filled with short stories of eventful times in Emily's life. Some of which were events that have
taken place in the authors life.
My Opinion: I highly enjoyed this book. I loved all of these short stories. There were times that I laughed and
times that I cried. It was very well written and very heartwarming. Every story showed us a new adventure in
Emily's life. Including Nadia and William. I think you all would absolutely love this book like I did. I definitely
suggest reading!

Amber Royce rated it 5 stars our of 5 on Goodreads:
When you are able to pull your reader into the story, as if the reader is standing in the midst of the story line/s, it allows us to live in a different world, during the time of the events.
You certainly have the ability to pull your readers in.
Thank you for choosing me as one of the lucky reviewers of this great compilation of stories.

This was quite different from my usual read but I loved the story. It was like a refreshing wind and tickled my curiosity, making me turn page after page, revealing more and more of the life of Emily on every turn.
This short story collection consists of twelve stories about Emily. It could be your story or maybe the story of the girl living next door. It is very detailed and realistic, telling about the small and big events of one girl’s life. Love, marriage, child, loss…everything that makes the life worth living. These stories were originally published on a magazine and I can easily imagine people sitting on a train and reading them. Waiting for the next volume to be published so that they could read more about Emily.
Great read for adults!

This
and that makes the book really good.
Emily and William are the cutest young couple ever. My heart broke for her in chapter 1
because I have been in her
awe over William, now he is a real man that takes care of his responsibilities. I enjoyed each
chapter but my favorite chapter was A Father's Promise. This chapter melted my heart when
her father was telling stories of Emily when she was younger. After reading this chapter I had
to call my dad and tell him how much I love him. This book will pull on your heartstrings for
sure.
Chantal Bellehumeur thank you for wanting me to read this book, it is a beautiful story. I hope
you
