Most consider life to be the people you know and the choices you make, but for Maddison Miller life is the ongoing, uncontrollable force that happens all around her. If she had it her way, life would look more like the perfect one she has planned in her head. The recent years fresh out of college haven’t gone anything like she envisioned. In fact, nothing has. Not her love life, her career, her relationships, leaving her with some serious trust issues and too much time spent alone.So when her co-worker invites her to a coffee house for an open mic night, she convinces herself to go. Because although she’d rather stay home where it’s safe, she’s come to realize that if there is any hope for even a shadow of her picture-perfect future to come to pass, she is going to have to start making some changes even if it means getting hurt. Again.And sometimes, as Maddison is soon to discover, the best life is actually what happens after all of your plans have come crashing down. However, choosing to let go and actually doing so is the constant struggle she faces. But just when she thinks she’s back on the right path to achieving her optimum goals, life comes along and once again scatters her Mental Notes.


Mental Notes Reviews


  • Stacy

    Entertaining Romantic Read!

    This debut novel by Elle Ann Brown had relatable characters, a pull of emotion, romance threaded throughout, and was one enjoyable read!

  • WriterCK

    Enjoyed the characters and the storyline. Can’t say much more wo giving anything away. :)

  • Colleen Young

    If you're looking for a book to sit back and forget about your life, this is your ticket.

    This review is bias because Elle is a writer friend of mine but this is a sweet story about a girl who questions her every move and dreams of her happily ever after. I think this type of protagonist represents many young women out there.

    I loved tiny things about this book such as the Mental Notes that Maddison uses to remembers to do things & how candy sweet the main man Aaron is. I also enjoyed how Maddison, with the help of Aaron recaptures her identity back after a hard breakup.

  • Athene

    This is the first book I have read by this author, and will certainly read more!
    I finished book one, and immediately started the second book.
    It took me just a few pages to get into the first person narrative, but overall I feel in lends to going on Maddison’s journey with her. By the end of the book you are feeling everything that Maddison is feeling.
    In the infamous words of Larry the Cucumber - “I laughed, I cried, it moved me Bob”!



  • Linda Aldridge

    Hard to put into words. Although I knew something was coming, nothing prepared me for the way the book ended. Talk about heart breaking! Straight into the next book to see what happens....

  • Alicia Malcomb

    You did a wonderful job! I truly enjoyed this book even though it is not my typical genre! Well done my friend I look forward to reading the next book when it is available I look forward to seeing how Maddison's story is continued!

    Also... I'm with Josh about Aaron!

    PS: Thank you for the first Chapter of the next book!

    AMAZING!

    Made me giggle like a school girl, made my heart melt, made me smile, made me laugh, made me cry, and made me angry and wish I could physically throw a tomato. BUT, I’m happy to have finished it and excited to see how Maddison will lean on the Lord to pull her out of this slump.

  • Christiana Moreno

    Have a hard time giving 5 stars… but still such a great book. Elle Ann Brown definitely knows how to write. Absolutely loved falling in love with the characters and omg my heart is still broken after writing this review 5 months after reading it.

  • Sandy

    It starts as a feel good book, but has a shocking twist.
