A Promise of a Best Friend
“Peer into the life of a high school junior. As Shirley Miranda’s first novel she does a superb job in enticing the reader. Readers will be able to find “bits and pieces” of themselves in the characters, and will identify and relate to a nostalgic awkwardness of blossoming teen relationships. You don’t have to be in high school to get hooked on this book, because you will be pulled into the lives of Liz and her new friends.
The author draws from her career as a teacher and the observations she’s made over the years. Miranda intertwines that insight with Liz’s story and the subtleties of high school life to create a novel that is definitely infectious and will leave you wanting to read more about Liz and Patrick. ” – A.B.D.

Gripping and Brilliant
“This book is amazing. Definitely satisfies the reader who are looking for a real good read. Contains gripping events, yet most of which are still relative to the reader which allows a more connected feel to the characters.

If anything, I’d like to say Shirley Miranda is brilliant and would definitely love to catch more of her stories!” – A.Es
