Blog Tour: I Love You Too, Daddy by Shervin Jamali
Today I am sharing my review as a part of the blog tour for I Love You Too, Daddy by Shervin Jamali. This novella was just released this week, is a short one at just 80 pages, and as of now has made my top read of the year!
Novella Description:
A young man hears a voice, compelling him to write the story of his life.
About a father, and brother, he adores. And perhaps a mother, who got lost in the shuffle. But there’s so much more. The voice convinces him others might benefit from his tale. That they too could overcome loss as a result.
So Jason writes his emotional journey.

Jessica’s Review:
Shervin Jamali is a ‘new to me’ author for 2020 and he did it again with another 5 star review! (the first for me was Remember) I plan to read all of his novels, and I Love You Too, Daddy is his newest and as of right now it is my top read of 2020!
This is a review where I don’t think I can give the novel the kudos it deserves. You will just have to read it. I Love You Too, Daddy is a fictional memoir of Jason and his life. This is one everyone should read as it deals with loss due to death and everyone has lost someone precious to them. The loss of someone precious can leave life-long emotions. Myself, I lost my dad at 19, so I expected to cry while reading. I can say I didn’t but came close: I mean, look at the title of the memoir! Jamali captures those feelings of loss perfectly through Jason’s memoir.
Through the short chapters that give Jason’s age at the start, we see Jason grow up. The novella is brief at just 80 pages and can be read very quickly. You are fully invested in Jason’s life as he narrates. And be on the lookout for Michael who makes appearances in all of Jamali’s novels.
The only disclaimer I can give is that if you have recently lost someone and your grief is still fresh I would not read this right away unless you want a good ugly cry, which you might actually need.
If you have not read anything by Jamali, do look into his books. They are only .99 on kindle! They are well worth the price.

Book Description:
As Daniel watches the life ebb from Grace’s body, he wishes they had more time, knew each other when they were young. His wife surprises him by insisting they did. And then she’s gone.
He knows this can’t be true. Can it? They only met later in life, so why would Grace’s departing words hint at a shared youth? Haunted by this notion, Daniel journeys into the past to discover the truth.
‘Remember’ is a unique love story. Find out how it really began..
Jessica’s Review:
Wow: What a first read for me by Jamali! This is a romance that transcends time/religion and takes you down a path you would never expect to go down. This is the love story of Daniel and Grace and it is not all happy, in fact the first chapter begins with her death and final shocking words to Daniel.
The chapters are all very short and keep you reading; as the story progresses you don’t want to put it down. Despite being a novella at a length of just 166 pages, it packs a punch and delivers so much!
Remember is not a light-hearted romance: There are many real life issues dealt with including alcoholism, abuse, drugs, and rape. You do need to suspend your belief in reality due to the direction it goes in.
This novella touches you and the Epilogue just tugged at my heart. This is a very welcome and highly recommended read.
