I'm Still Standing

by Colleen Coleman

[Emma (SCR)]

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews Thank you to Bookouture for providing me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. This is the first book I have read by Colleen but I loved the cover and description. I am always up for trying new authors as you never know when you will find an absolute gem.

The story follows Evelyn Dooley as she navigates her way through breaking up with her high-school sweetheart husband. I thought that Evelyn was extremely brave to go to a new place where she practically knew no one and start over. I found Evelyn very likeable and easy to associate with.

Not long after she moves to Dublin Evelyn meets Danny. Now there is something about Danny that you just can't help but love him. He's very sweet but he's a but mysterious. There's something that this man isn't telling us. Danny has a bit of a tortured soul which comes across in his music.

This is a happy, lighthearted read with a touch of seriousness. This story will bring you out of the darkest moods and leave you with a smile on your face.

I really enjoyed Colleen's style and I look forward to reading more of her books in the future.

For now I will leave you with my favourite quote from the book.

Set your sights on the sky and reach for the stars
