Review of Ghost Letters
"Ghost Letters is a series of letters written from the perspective of a teen looking at the way she observed her high school crush two years after the fact. Even though they never interacted in any real and tangible way, there was a deep connection that she felt for her crush and imagined that he had felt the same way but neither had acted on what she feels is that shared connection. I am sure many people have experience with unrequited love, or were too shy to act on a mutual crush. If you enjoy such stories, then you may enjoy this one! Well done, author!"
A Million Tiny Things
""A Million Tiny Things" as a stand alone short story, is fantastic. It speaks to the sweet innocence of first love, of the soaring heights being in the presence or our beloved can evoke, yet it also speaks to the crippling and soul-shattering moments when that love is taken away. Yet at the same time, "A Million Tiny Things" also leaves the reader with a hopeful message, that even though our loved ones may be gone, they are still present in our lives even if we are not aware of it. That sense of peace and tranquility you may feel at times when you are at your lowest, that fondness and warmth you feel in your heart when you think back on all the times you spent in one another's company, the "million little things" that bound your lives together ...that is your loved ones come back to you. Time and distance may have temporary separated you, but in time and with much patience you will be reunited. Then you will have the opportunity to experience "a million tiny things" all over again."
Masterpiece!
"These short stories are a work of are. They are beautifully written, and your brilliant use of description is no easy feet to do! I'm not a romantic person, but you just made me fall in love with the idea of love in general. The characters were well written and smoothly developed through out the stories. Your writing has a sense of nostalgia that made tear-eyed sometimes. I look forward to your works in the future!"
Loved it XD
"I read two stories from this collection. Isn't a childhood friend the furthest place from love? which attracted me first because I like the trope and By my side. I loved them both. The characters were fun and adorable. The thing that we see characters from the other stories reminded me in a way to ones-hots of shojo manga, where you have a group of friends or just people that interconnect and get their own stories. A bit like Sugars. There were a few mistakes, missing a word here and there but nothing that deters from the stories. Anyway, the writing style is clear, simple and beautiful, and I truly enjoyed these two heartwarming stories. Great job author XD"
Whispers of the heart full of love!♥️
"This is one of the best short story collections, I have read. I can say that writer did follow the one central plot that is 'Love' though it is of a different type in each story. I would like to mention some points:- ⭐I loved the summary, the way you described what is love is beautiful. ⭐ I can't appreciate any more of the author's writing style. The way you write is full of emotions and it makes the reader feel the happenings. ⭐ I liked the first scenario mentioned in this book 'Ghost letters' even if the chapters are sort of letters but they speak a whole different story. I liked how you co-related letters, that feels like I am reading someone's exchange diary. (Speaking of Ghost letters) I liked how you didn't mention the whole incident aside from the letters but gave us some glimpse of incidents that have happened. ⭐ This book got many different stories each story tells different scenarios but all are plotted on the different types of love. I liked how you described various kinds of love in your short stories. ⭐ I honestly believe many stories from here can be turned into a new polished novella or novel. ⭐Whispers of the hearts, the Title of this book is perfect if we say it in a way or two. When we are in love we don't listen to our mind, there is that whisper deep down from our heart. ⭐ The book cover was as perfect as its name, It shows the writer writing her emotions/whispers he/she hears on that piece of paper. ⭐There were hardly any grammatical errod spotted.. I couldn't catch any errors. It was inflow and wasn't choppy to read. "

"I have yet to finish the book, but am already liking it. At first, I was a little bit confused but got hooked eventually. The letter was my favorite, I loved the way you portrayed the emotions, told a story of many years. Too touching. I love your writing style, the flow and the sayings before the story begins. Great work! "
Ghost Letters - Review
"Wow! It was like I had lived their whole story with just these 5 letters. The crazy thing was that they'd only had one conversation in those 6 years. I loved how the writer talked to "you" (the boy) while she was writing, and sometimes contradicted herself because she was so conflicted and confused about her feelings. It was very much like the genre/literary technique of stream of consciousness where we get to see all that's going through a writer's head. At the beginning, I thought one of the two characters would be a ghost, but then I realized it was much more figurative (and so beautiful in that!). Sometimes the most deep-felt love stories are the ones that are never actually expressed. My favorite quote was when she said she'd muster the courage to talk to him "with kindness and not with love" because that would hurt him so much more. You had so many statements like these that showed the deep and complex feelings of the writer that made me want to keep knowing her more. I also loved that you left questions unanswered about her "sixth sense," which could also just be the heightened sense of perception you have for anything related to a crush. Something I noticed to fix is that multiple times, you said "all what," where you should have said "all that" in Ch. 1 & 2. Also I loved how by the end she was watching the sunset "with him" in a sense, saying goodbye, which is something she had said she always wanted to do at the beginning! Thank you so much for your talent! I'll read the other stories soon."
Cozy and creative
"Every story really seemed interesting and full of potential! I gave the beginning of three stories a try and you definitely captured more than my attention. Ghost Letter felt so natural and realistic that I couldn’t help but sink along the MC’s recollections. The way she spoke hid a tone of melancholy, and I’m all about stories with a touch of melancholy. My heart pulled! Also, the way you made her relieve the memories, in my opinion, is exactly the practice of our golden rule: Show, Don’t Tell. Great job! Insomnia was funny. I think someone, especially a guy, with Antonio’a hilarious overthinking abilities would be greatly fun to be around. Their interactions were believable for most parts. And moving on to my personal favorite… My By Side!! I loved it. I can’t really pinpoint why I instantly felt attached to this one, but I think it’s something about sensitive guys and bold girls that get a soft spot in me. I like Sarah, I like her directness and the airy way she speaks about dying. (That’s how I am to my friends). I also loved Jade’s subtleness in trying to get to know her better. Overall, a very creative collection packed with believable, lovable characters. Thanks for sharing with us! "
I seriously loved this!
"I couldn't stop reading! Some bits confused me but I got there in the end! I love first innocent love as it is so cute and romantic! I love your unique writing style! Keep it up!"

"I read up to a point I felt I can give honest feedback. I love the story and the amazing effort the writer put up to make it flawless and content-friendly. The story structure was beautiful, the character development well guarded and I like the plot too. I am sure a lot of readers will find it interesting. Good work, Nana."
Whispers of the Heart
"This book was actually interesting. At first, I was a little confused because I only read a little bit of your other books combined but the little notes you did at the beginning of the chapter with Mio and Mei, and Annebelle/a helped a lot. Good job! xoxo, may cyns"

Whispers of the Heart
"( Updated review) Firstly when I read you stories most of them were not completed.So they did not make sense in my head but now I got the better understanding of them and I want to say you have a beautiful way of writing. Your stories are written amazingly. I don't think there are any mistake in them. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great work! "
An Anthology of Life's Vicissitudes
"Whispers of the Heart is a zine-like, poignant collection of short stories. Uniquely written and spoken from distinctive voices, each story is character-driven. The author knows her characters so well - a definitive sign of storytelling that metaphorically comes from the heart. The length of each story is quite abrupt for me, but every piece of fiction always has its own way of ending its narrative, so I guess it's still too early to conclude about the entire plot. What I really love about your writing is your way of reaching out to your reader's emotions, and not just their imaginations per se. All things aside, I'm bothered with some of your technical errors - switching tenses and odd punctuations. I can understand these as a writer, no one's perfect anyway and there's no perfect draft. Given that Inkitt's a home for many unpublished writers, I think what I really look for in a story is its heart - the world and the narrative and how it is written. Overall. I enjoyed reading Whispers immensely (esp those literary references I'm also very familiar with-e.g. Wuthering Heights and Romeo & Juliet). Keep up the good work! We'll see how the plot of each story would thicken soon. In the meantime, keep writing! :)"
From My Heart To Yours
"This is a story as sweet-toothed as the sugary, Christmas delights from which it is set. Sean so passionately yearns for his estranged girlfriend during the holiday season. There is a lot of mystery surrounding why these two soulmates have been apart for so long, but despite an unsympathetic family, Sean is loyal to his beloved. While the flashback of how this cute couple met needs some work, the subsequent scenes are more decorative and developed. When the ending arises, the saying 'opposites attractive' definitely comes to mind! I enjoyed the dysfunctional cast and the flecks of humour sprinkled throughout. A love story to lift your spirits indeed!"

"It's really mind blowing. I don’t give out positive reviews like that, but by the way you started this with a quote really moved me. Your writing is fantastic, and I'm an admirer, I have to admit. Excellent work!"
Unique in its own way
"I love feel-good stories and Nana's 'Whispers of the Heart' is definitely one of them. I also love how certain chapters have a sense of mysteriousness to it. It gives the reader something to think about rather than just reading a bunch words and moving on. However, some chapters (e.g Chapter 1) tend to be a bit long and I couldn't really find the meaning behind it. Length isn't really problem for me but it has to lead to something. In Chapter 1, the writing appears intense but I couldn't understand its "story". The technical writing skills are very good but I think the author gets a little carried away with certain vocabulary. For example, if it's going to be an informal diary entry, then it should have some slang and big words shouldn't be used frequently to give it that realistic effect. Everything else is superb and I'd definitely recommend Nana's stories! Keep writing!"
