Followives is a novel for me, for you and for everyone especially if you are a techie. Engineers mostly have a moving job. For better career and job they oftenly have to accept opportunities in different cities or countries.

Followives is about the journey of five women who had moved to United States because of their husbands. Their husbands got good career opportunities in US which obviously they can’t deny. So, their women also decided to go to US with them. They have to leave their home in Italy behind. Their partners have different profession and ambitions.

It is sad that women have to leave everything behind so they can stay with their partners. It must be much difficult for them but they always makes compromises for their loved ones. This is the first book of the author and I am definitely interested in reading the next book by her.

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

Introspections From A Clouded Mind is a collection of poems written by the author Jeffrey Robb. This poetry collection highlights the feelings of someone suffering from trauma. A poem based on nostalgia is my favourite among the collection. Life & Regrets, Untold Stories are also nice.

Treasure these moments
I’m living in the past
Treasure these moments
I know they wont last
Remind me of those days
When dark times arrive
Remind me of those days
Of when I felt alive…

This book shows the in-depth feelings of one’s inner mind. You will feel connected to some poems as we also feel in such a way many times. It was a short read so I was able to finish it in a single sitting. I enjoyed reading these poems while sitting on my front porch with a cup of tea. Highly recommended to poetry lovers.
