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).

Wow. This book was the best rock star book I have ever read and probably will ever read.

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.

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.

TOWRA Review #7
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!!

TOWRA Review #4
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.

TOWRA Review #10
THE ONE WHO ROCKED AWAY — This was way more than a romance story. It's a story about how two people needed to lose each other before they found their way back to God, and to each other. Joanna has crafted a beautiful story about a young girl whose love for a boy grows so much that she finds herself being sucked along in his orbit and away from God. [Nolan's] and Serene's love story is beautiful and beautifully told.

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.

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.

TOWRA Review #12
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.
