Xulon Press Editor's review of "Do You Love Me?"



Manuscript’s Strengths

·   The Introduction is exceptionally well written—it lays a solid foundation for the book and will really make readers engaged right from page one. Providing this background information on the genesis of the book gives the audience a lot to connect with. They are already invested in the story before it even begins, which is a great effect to make with your opening pages. Very well done.

·   The details throughout the manuscript paint a very vivid picture that feels more like watching a movie than reading a book. Readers will be able to imagine every detail of each scene—not only what the scene looks like, but also the emotional energy in the air (scenes with Alfred), how the setting feels (the storm at the beginning of chapter 4) and even in some places how it likely smells (such as with Abigail being found in a dumpster). This rich experience will really make readers get lost in the book, which is the experience people are looking for when they purchase.

The story itself is the greatest strength of this manuscript. It is a lovely story, a unique story and one that any person can relate to. It spans not only age groups, but also cultures and countries. Many people are born through heartbreaking circumstances and struggle all their lives to figure out that those circumstances do not reflect on them personally, since they were only infants who never asked to be born. This book will help people analyze how they feel about their parents and the circumstances of their birth; it will make them see more objectively and figure out if they need to make any changes.
