 nicely done, classy May 2, 2009
Taiyeezy (New York, NY)
this is a beautiful book. it gave me real lessons from real stories about not just love and relationships, but about working on yourself first to get you there. it's a cliche kind of title, but the content has a lot more. it was really brave of them to talk about all that they did, but i gather that it's really their amazing determination for a better, more happier life that makes them confront so many demons. much props and gratitude.
A Love Story I'll Always Remember! April 10, 2009
RYCJ (PA)
This is a book I didn't want to put down! The choppy writing worked `like' magic. In addition to gaining a vibrant understanding of film industry realities... the chop-chop getting straight to the point brought both Angela and Courtney off otherwise plain recycled paper, giving them center stage to the best real-life audition of themselves to be seen. Loved every minute of it, too!!!
Angela, just as expected, is pragmatic, FUN, sassy but classy... the kind of woman I applaud 100%!!! And Courtney also was just as expected. Sensitive with issues that worked wonders for him on stage. Both of their personalities worked like magnets in bringing them together.
What seals the love part of their story however, was when Angela was going on and on running her mouth, and Courtney was just sitting back trying to listen as he's also asking her to hold it down. Just too cute; especially when she couldn't `hold it down' and him sitting there thinking, `what do I have here!?!'... YET realizing this was the woman he wanted to marry! ...Exactly how true love works... `being yourself' and letting the chemistry (if it's present, which in their case it was), go thru its natural process.
There is far too much to comment on here. All-in-all I think the August Wilson plays stood out for me most. Something about that time period in their lives & being on Broadway... dealing with the emotional factors of learning the business, and learning more about themselves (respectively) ... that really captivated me.
This is a love story I'll always treasure and remember! Over the Top! Five Stars!!!
Best book I've read in years. April 6, 2009

This book gave me such insight on life and love that I can honestly say that after reading it I look at both differently. These two people love each other and were actually being prepared for each other long before they realized it! Amazing!!
A LOVE STORY....THE WAY GOD INTENDED November 30, 2008
NANA LYNN (GOODYEAR, AZ USA)
HOW INCREDIBLE IN THIS DAY & AGE FOR A HOLLYWOOD COUPLE TO HAVE SUCH A STRONG FOUNDATION! THEIR LOVE, THEIR RELATIONSHIP TRULY IS AS GOD INTENDED. THEIR "ADVICE" AT THE END OF THE BOOK ARE WORDS SO MANY OF US CAN IMPLEMENT INTO OUR OWN QUEST FOR A RELATIONSHIP OR TO HELP IMPROVE A CURRENT RELATIONSHIP. I HAVE A NEW FOUND RESPECT FOR TWO ENTERTAINERS I HAVE ADMIRED OVER THE YEARS. MAY GOD BLESS THEM WITH CONTINUE SUCCESS.

A journey to love that readers familiar with this Hollywood couple will likely enjoy. The couple takes turns narrating their lives from childhood to adulthood - from college at Yale to the New York theatre to the Los Angeles Hollywood scene. We read about their romantic relationships. We read about addictions and issues with their parents. We read about their own struggle to become parents. The book wraps with Angela and Courtney's views/tips on becoming a better you/strengthening and maintaining your relationships. Readers are sure to come away from this with a greater respect for this couple's views on life and love.
*NOTE: There are WAY too many typos in this book. Would I buy it? Hmmm, nah - not something I'd want to read again.
