Amazon Reviews for "Something Terrible About Love"

Susan Diane Carter

Both Heartbreaking and Heartwarming
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2022 – Verified Purchase

Something Terrible About Love is a hauntingly beautiful account of a once wonderful mother/daughter relationship that has gone awry. Helen Baird is devoted to her run-away daughter, Kristen—and will do anything to get her back and reestablish their bond. It is a densely layered exploration of love, friendship, the pull of family, and the power of all three to transcend time and space. Something Terrible About Love will cast you in its spell and not let go until you reach its final pages. Be prepared to shed some tears. Bonnie MacDougall’s unforgettable story is told with grace, wisdom and the discerning eye of a poet.

An amazing storyteller! I was captured in the first chapter and could hardly put down the book. What a story filled with characters who were multidimensional. And although there were several personalities, Dr. MacDougall tied them all to Helen in a complete circle of love. Enjoyed every minute reading it! Brava!

Amazon Reviews for "Those Who Live"

Novelist Bonnie MacDougall — Mastering Character Development
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2025 – Kindle

Exemplary in her search of the human condition, rising star novelist Bonnie MacDougall smartly lets her prime characters, two attractive young women, 26-year-old Chinle and 27-year- old Mae, tell their own stories while they jointly uncover their family’s hideous mystery, the deaths of six new-born family babies, either at birth or soon after. With Chinle and Mae, every self-realization, social or physical handicap, loss, change in life style, marital status, social and economic threat, every mood, tear shed, smile and sigh are nailed, investigated, dwelt with, rectified and/or adjusted to. Bonnie MacDougall has mastered character development. When you finish the last pages of “Those Who Live,” and close the cover, you will sense, like Chinle and Mae, a grand catharsis; you have enjoyed and benefitted, you have survived and even improved yourself, found life is better, even good. You may say to yourself, “Yes, I am better.” Unless, of course, you have always been, are now, and will always be… perfect.

This is the best one yet!
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2025 – Kindle

I loved the way chapters end with a lilt. I loved the two main characters and their relationship. I loved the interweaving of plot lines. I loved that the old ladies were old but still so self-aware. What a great read.
