The Lovely Return was a highly emotional story with mystical touches. The bond between Alex and Penny was written so beautifully! The aura of love between the two was transcendent. There were several tearful and painful events. The poetry was lovely! The ending gave me happy tingles. My one complaint was the chronic and cringeworthy misuse by three characters of the “I and me” rule and by at least one character, improperly adding a qualifier to “unique.” Other than that: amazing!
