Title: Hope
Author: Morgan Parker

into the beautiful story that he created and wanted to forget about.

~Verna's Review~ *****
Morgan Parker has done it again. Left me completely
speechless and crying. When I was first introduced to this amazing writer, it
was when I read Non Friction, which has become one of my favorites. After
reading it I was so in love with the thought of Olivia and Oliver’s story. So
much that I never let down that Morgan should write it, yes I was relentless
when it came to this beautiful tale. So
when I got to read Hope and get more of their story it was everything I dreamed
it would be. It’s perfection.
I enjoyed and loved this story so much I’ve read it three
times, yes three. But it’s because it is so beautifully written and it gave me
the one thing I wanted, Oliver and Olivia.
Olivia is such an amazing woman. I love that even though she
knows deep down things aren’t going to be easy she still keeps fighting. My
heart broke for her more than once in this story. To be in love with someone
you can’t completely have is absolutely heart wrenching. I loved how strong,
caring, and loving she was.
Oliver, o how I love Oliver. He is an amazing man, even
though I wanted to smack him a few times for not seeing what he plainly had
right in front of him. He was a great and caring man who will tug at your
heart. You can’t help but want to make his world better.
Oliver and Olivia’s relationship isn’t ideal, but it’s one delightful
relationship that you will enjoy reading. I loved reading their journey and
getting to know more about each of them. The turmoil of not being together, the
fight inside their head to do what was right instead of following their hearts.
So yes this is an incredible story.
So if you love a passionate, loving and exquisite story that
will stay with you for a long time, this is the book to read. It’s one of
Morgan Parker’s masterpieces! I couldn’t have asked for a better story.
~Veda's Review~ *****
When I was gifted non friction a few months ago, I was surprised by how much I loved it. I was iffy at first about reading it because it was written by male author and I totally stereotyped him. Boy was I wrong! I was sucked in on page one and spit out in the acknowledgements. It was a roller coaster ride, but one that I'd happily ride over and over. Morgan's writing is like an addiction and it always feels real. Once you get a taste, you'll always want more. Hope is no different. The beginning and ending with Morgan were hard for me to swallow. I see Morgan as strong, funny, cocky and together. Seeing this side of him, the broken side of him, was painful for me. When we meet Hope, she's meeting Morgan for the first time, and its not long before she drops "the bomb" on him. Whatever was left of the witty and cocky facade is gone. In its place is a lost and lonely man.
Hope... She came in balls to the walls. She wasn't playing any games, she came, she saw and she laid the smack down. Spitfire comes to mind when I think of Hope. She takes no BS and tells it like she sees it. No sugar coating it for her.
Now for what we all begged and hoped for. Oliver and Olivia's "Our Story".
Love, heartbreak and joy. You easily feel every ounce of every emotion that Morgan is trying to portray. You feel Oliver and Olivia's love, you share their heartbreak and your heart sings when you feel their joy. ( it did for me anyway) Morgan Parker has a way of writing that makes you feel them all. You will smile, laugh, definitely cry, hurt and you will love...you will fall in love with this novella and wish that it was longer. It felt so realistic to me. Almost as if Morgan Parker himself had lived it and was telling us his story, it's believable and real.
For all of the people who wanted a HEA from Morgan, well, this is it. It was my HEA. For anyone who wanted more of "our story" this is it. Its beautiful from start to finish. 5 stars for Hope.
