      A fantastic story that every man should read! How many women are just taken for granted and unappreciated? Too many! On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this story a 27!

      Wonderful story. Lessons are never too late to learn. I love when she breaks out of being the "author" stating "Reader, I almost married him."

      An absolute 10! Such a beautiful unfolding of a story that plays out in a lot of relationships - very relatable. I loved the backdrop of the Cranes and the Japanese story The Crane’s Wife.

      Just realized this was my 2000th read on Readup. What a fantastical ride it has been!

      PS Cheers to whoever scouted this one. You rule.
