Paradox A.R.T. | The One Who Rocked Away
With every book I release, I try to build an Advanced Readers Team (ART) to build buzz for the book and bring in early reviews upon the book’s launch. Below are some of the Paradox ART reviews for this book.
Several reviewers often post the same reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, and/or Bookbub, as well as on their social media feeds. Links on this page will often link to the social media post, if available. If not, it will link to the Amazon, Goodreads, or Bookbub review (in that order, depending on availability).

TOWRA Review #15
I find it difficult to write reviews for books like this. Not because this book wasn't good but because it was great, heartwarming and inspiring. And I feel my review won't do justice to it. Meeting the reckless, daring and confident Nolan was enough to get me geared to finishing the book.

This book started out so sad and depressing I wanted to quit reading it, but I promised to give an honest review so I continued reading... I’m glad I persevered because the last half of the book touched me in several ways and actually moved me to prayer for those I know fighting such battles.

TOWRA Review #3
The One Who Rocked Away is a story of redemption. The prodigal returning home. It is clearly evident that the author has a deep love for the Lord. The story of redemption comes through loud and clear, and is naturally integrated into this story.

I ended up reading most of this book in one sitting after putting my kids to bed one night; I just didn't want to stop! ...The characters were captivating, and they grow in maturity and spirituality throughout the story. The One Who Rocked Away explores the importance of placing God first in your life, and Joanna did a beautiful job making that message relatable and thought-provoking.

I so enjoyed getting to see Serene and Nolan's story, from when they first met as children till they grew apart as young adults. All while reaching for their dreams... The way the author goes back in the past and then in the present to continue the story moving forward, was genius.

THE ONE WHO ROCKED AWAY — *sigh* This story. Beautiful. Heartwarming. Powerful. I didn't expect to cry. I didn't expect to be so emotionally moved (as a whole) like I was. I didn't expect to read it in two sittings.

THE ONE WHO ROCKED AWAY — This beautiful story is permeated by God's saving love that changes people to live how He called them. I felt I could relate to this story, even though it's about a rock star. My heart squealed, especially, during the last scene.

A powerful story of chasing our dreams, walking out a life of faith, finding ourselves, loving and letting go, and surrendering to Gods timing in our lives.

This was my first book by Joanna Alonzo, and I absolutely loved it. It's a story about friendship, love, forgiveness, and most importantly having a relationship with God and allowing Him to direct your path. It's well written, and the characters are amazing... Great read!!
