Pacific Book Review: Brilliant, emotional, and thoughtful, author Ollie Marshall-Rico's Surviving the Stain of Losing My First Love is a must-read book on non-fiction and spirituality meets relationship studies. It was both intriguing and emotional to read the author's experiences and readers who do lean more towards the spiritual side will be pleased with the author's personal connection to faith, and how it plays an important role in her coming to terms with the loss she endured at such a young age, as well as future losses to come. The heart and passion for which the author wrote is evident in her writing style and the connective way she was able to relate her own story. Readers will be able to feel the powerful storytelling component which kept me, as a reader, totally invested.
