Review: Swear on this Life - Renee Carlino - August 2016 Imagine if you had dreams of becoming a writer and then one day, a friend gives you a book that has sold millions of copies and is becoming a literary phenomenon you read it and it is your childhood fictionalized including the worst parts that you have tried for years to block out.

Here we meet Nate Myers who will become our male lead. Nate graduated medical school at the top of his class and is now following in his father's footsteps to become the b...
