Oliver and Olivia were book characters of the main guy Morgan Barker in a previous Morgan Parker novel,non friction. Since the book synopsis and other reviewers have given their thoughts and background of the book, I will not linger in it.This author can come up with strings of words where a reader's emotion is moved. No doubt he has the gift to put into words the level of sentiment a character feels to make it resonate passionately.Here's an excerpt: "Sometimes, love brings us into the darkest corner of our lives. But we survive because love guides us through the fears and uncertainties. And other times, love brings us into the brightest sunshine, the most absolute happiness we will ever know"My main problem with his novels is the endings. I am a woman. And as a typical normal woman who loves reading romantic novels, I want a happy, sappy, dreamy ending. I also accept that it is not always possible. I have read all his books and all of them left me stranded... ALL OF THEM.So another character is introduced, Hope. Who is she to merit the title of this novella? What happened to Emma? Morgan Parker, would you please wrap up the story already?! This is anotherTextual Encounters (The Christine + Jake Affair)Series repeat. That means there is no clear ending whatsoever!Personally, I struggle reading plots where a partner is cheating to his love one. Again, in all the books he wrote, main characters are having an affair in some form or another. It is just getting old and crusty.What I want to read next time is for Morgan Parker to branch out of infidelity, depressing or cliffhanger kind of ending and leave his readers grinning at the end of the book. I want to read about characters who are not authors, struggling or otherwise.  I am willing to ride the emotional turmoil he'd make his characters go through. Just make me smile or sigh dreamily once I reach the last few pages. That's not too much to ask.
