“Lifejourney 5.0 out of 5 stars Recommend Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2023 – Enjoyed the format and the stories. Nice romance pick-me-ups for those short on time. I haven’t finished the book yet, and look forward to more get-aways. I follow V. L. Czerny’s work and had to read it first. I wasn’t disappointed. Good stuff!”
