Sally had come a very long way after high school. The once school nerd and object of bullying is now a successful attorney, a mother and a widow. From plain Jane, a fairy godmother transformed her into she haven't expected herself to be - someone beautiful.At her early 30s, she had still no plans of going back home and is about to ditch their HS reunion. After all, she had no friends there and she doesn't want to cross paths with people who made her supposedly most enjoyable years into a living hell.She was sure of her decision until she opened her Facebook account and saw that Colin Dean is attending too!Colin Dean is a kind face in the crowd and the boyfriend of the girl who is constantly harassing her.He was someone who made her high school years more bearable. Now, recently divorced from the mean-queen, she decided that maybe its time to go home and try her luck. Five years of widowhood, feeling alone at night with no one to share her life with is trying, who knows?And when they finally met, he didn't recognize her but he was mesmerized, he had not seen someone who was stunning and had not expected that she was the person that everyone (especially his ex wife) kept bullying during their younger years. After his ex-wife cheated on him with someone close to him, he had his heart guarded, but this woman is simply amazing. She was only her for the reunion though, after the celebration, can he convince her to stay? Or will his ex-wife still play the bully card and drive this woman away?The Eyes of Love is a very short novella that you can simply finish in one sitting. It's something you can insert between reads. It's not heavy, but you will still like the characters, feel proud about Sally and how life has been kind to her, and fell in love at the right moment. There's always some b*tch who doesn't want her to have her happy ending, but in the end, our villain got what she deserved. Never let go of something you don't want others to have.I enjoyed reading it - especially the fact that its about someone who from being bullied turned out to be successful. Its almost a mini-fairy tale: from ugly ducking to a beautiful princess. Beauty, is always inside-out. You can be beautiful whatever you look life in the mirror because at the end of the day, it will always be your attitude people will remember you about. Always be kind to others, you will never know who they turn out to be.*ARC Copy was given in exchange for an honest review.
