Review: Worthy of every page! - Virginia ia a working girl, a waitress at a diner. Aaron is a widower who comes to the diner with his shy, young son, Buddy. He has his heart set on Virginia and she on him. Just when their first date is about to become reality, tragedy strikes. Their budding romance is not to be. We fast forward 19 years and Virginia owns the diner along with her friend, Fern. She's also now engaged to Lloyd. Lloyd, however is not the man she thinks he is,when her beloved dog, T-Rex goes missing. Through a series of events, T-Rex leads Virginia and Buddy back into each other's lives and teaches them both what they are worthy of in life. Put a dog in a story and I'm hooked, the dog lover that I am. Worthy stole my heart from the very beginning. The characters in this novel have flaws, big ones. Don't we all? As the story unfolds, we watch them come to grips with how to live a good and happy life, flaws included. Catherine Ryan Hyde gives us a feel good story about how it takes a village. We are not alone in this world and weren't meant to be. We need the love and help of others no matter where we are on our path. Life is meant to be shared and is fulfilled only when we include others. Strangers are never strange for long if we let them into our hearts. I became a fan of Ms. Hyde's work when I read Take Me With You. She's best known for Pay It Forward which became a movie. I think that"ll be the next one I'll read. Movie or no movie, that doesn't mean you should pass over any of her other works. Worthy will lift your spirits and restore your faith whether you're a dog lover or even a cat lover! If you are looking for a book to make you feel good, Worthy is it.
Review: Great Story, Fun Read - Yes, 4.5 stars! We really should have a 10-star rating system, it would be so much easier to grade novels if there were a bit of a larger grading system. I would have loved to have given this novel a 5-star rating - if for no other reason than the quality of the writing. Hyde is just a good storyteller, a good writer. I took off a little simply because I just couldn't "get into" the story. I thought it was a good idea for a story, but it seemed to write around and around the story instead of going right at it. Geez, whatever does that mean?? I don't know, and I was the one who wrote it! The other stories I've read by Hyde were rated as really good all the way up to and including great. If you haven't read stories by Hyde, please check out "Don't Let Me Go", "Where We Belong" and "Walk Me Home" and some of the others as well. Those novels are simply great, fun to read, fun to think about, fun to enjoy. Okay, if I'm being honest, there's a couple that I've read that I wasn't so hot about, but... Patrick

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice story with a dog at the center.
*by D***M on July 27, 2017*

This was my second Ryan Hyde story. The story line itself is simple. A tragic accident prevents two people from becoming a couple, and a young boy from getting a step-mom. They drift apart after the boy's father dies and lose contact until 19 years later when the boy, now a man, finds a dog who has been dumped in the wild by a thoughtless and uncaring man. The dog's rightful owner, turns out to be the woman who might've been the boy's step-mom. And there you have the crux of the story as those two sort out whether or not they will have a relationship as adults. With the dog smack in the middle. The reason to read Ryan Hyde novels lies in her ability to create characters you rapidly develop empathy with. Plot. linear and predictable Narrative, limited the characters speak a lot to others and themselves. Dialogue- a little clunky and repetitious This story gets a five from me primarily for the character development. You care about them and that's what kept me reading. A weak area is Ryan Hydes decision to have the boy, Buddy have so much residual emotional damage from the loss of this father. My experience with kids and loss, is that they adapt and seldom exhibit the introverted shyness that Buddy exhibits. Her portrayal of him as a recluse accepting what the world offers, flies in the face of what typical young men do- challenge the world for everything. This bugged me, bu not enough to cost a star. All in all a fine effort and quality reading. highly recommended.
