“I had this book on my bookshelf for over a year, but never picked it up. I kept reading the book synopsis and just didn’t feel it would really draw me in. I was so wrong! It’s a very different type of love story – so nice to read a book about a couple whom really love one another. You begin to like characters whom you didn’t like at all in the beginning. And there were some really deep thoughts in here - pleasently surprised.”

“Good characterization. Twist near the middle changes tone of the book.”

“I did not know that this was a chick kind of read! It was really confusing at first... but I got used to it. It's interesting to see how the lives of those women come together and how they interact with one another. ”

“Belong to Me can mean so much in so many different ways. As the sequel to “Love Walked In” I didn’t know what to expect, especially after having rated Santos’ first book a 3/5. I enjoyed this book a little more. Like in her style, Santos develops her characters thoroughly. The story follows Cornelia’s storyline, having married Teo and moving from the city into the suburbs. There are a lot of new characters the reader meets and gets the backlog of their personal stories; Piper the suburb housewife; Lake the desperate single mother; Dev her desperately intelligent son; and a variety of other characters. As the reader you wonder why so much on each character, and the descriptions are sometimes unnecessary. That is what makes the book so long. IN the end the stories of the characters do mix, there is a clear reasoning for their actions on the most part.

Maris de los Santos isn’t going to be the next Bronte, but her stories are daily lovable family stories, that anyone can relate to. These are stories of life and life’s curveballs, and the pressures of handling it all. The title “Belong to Me” is perfect for the book, as you can see the theme recurring. Would I recommend this book? Yes, if you wanted an easy feel good book, though I think there are better written books out there.

“I loved this book. The characters were interesting and was beautifully written. It was not a book you could not put down but I would describe it as yummy. I did not want it to end.”
