Reviews ~ Seeing Julia

“The writing was just, no words for how beautiful the writing was…” Chelcie ~ Addicted Soul’s Blog

“I found this book to be immediately captivating… The initial chapters reminded me of Maggie O’Farrell’s “After You’d Gone,” that’s how impressed I was.” Becky Gulc ~ Chick Lit Central Blog

“I recommend this novel to all who enjoy a highly emotional story that tugs at your heartstrings with a main character who shows remarkable growth throughout the book. “Seeing Julia” rightly deserves its 5 stars!” Ellen Fritz ~ Books4Tomorrow Blog

“For some reason, I expected ‘Seeing Julia’ to be a fluffy, unreal romance novel. I don’t know where I got this idea, but I couldn’t have been more wrong, ‘Seeing Julia’ is so much more. It is deep and real and full of emotion and pain and friendship and love. I can’t say enough good about it.” Dana Burness ~ Let’s Book It

“I found this book to be immediately captivating. Yes, it’s a dark sad subject, but I was gripped. I was instantly impressed by Katherine’s writing. She conveyed the initial grief and despair at yet another loss so well, I felt this loss with her. The initial chapters reminded me of Maggie O’Farrell’s “After You’d Gone,” that’s how impressed I was.” Becky Gulc ~ Chick Lit Central Blog

Julia’s story will stay with me for a long time. I’m a little sad that this is a stand-alone book. I would like to spend more time with all the characters involved. As it is, I look forward to reading more by Katherine Owen. Dana – Let’s Book ItSeeingJuliaDEC2013v5_opt

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book, July 4, 2011
By Clicia Tremblay –
This review is from: Seeing Julia (Kindle Edition)
This book was a precious gem. I loved it!! I love a good up and down love story and this one delivered. I am always gladly surprised to find such gems among romance books: good dialogue, smart, sensitive and funny. I wanted more of the romantic couple but I got the picture!! I look forward to reading more from this author.

Katherine’s quotes


"You know what they say about air and water when it comes to fire, don’t you?” she asks.
Now, I’m curious. She hasn’t spoken for the last ten minutes of the drive. “What?”
“Too much air blows out the fire. Too much water destroys it.”
I nod trying to determine what she’s really comparing us to. “The idea would be to keep the flame going, right. For years?” She nods. “Like a relationship. Like a marriage.” She cringes at the word marriage. Noted. “So you need the air—to stay constant—to fan the flames of the fire, and you know, grasshopper,” I smile at her and catch sight of the corners of her mouth turning slightly upward in response to the endearment, “a hot enough fire will burn water, so you have to be careful with the water too.”
“That I do know,” she says softly. “So that’s the truth about air and water.” She sighs deep.
“Which is?”
“It’s hard to maintain the balance to keep the fire going. You have to fan the flames without putting it out with too much water. But too little water will burn the fire right up. Too much fire. Too much destruction. We’re out of control.”
“You’re talking in circles,” I say.
“No. That’s us,” she says with certainty."— Katherine Owen
