I see myself as a reader who writes, so am very grateful for any feedback on my writing from other readers. If you read my novel The Love Virus and wrote a review or critique about it, I would be delighted to know- please contact me if you would like me to add it to this page.
It’s a powerful piece of writing. Provocative, excruciatingly detailed when it comes to moments full of embarrassment. Moments everyone else takes for granted. How Katie is betrayed by her body, which culminates in fear, rejection, and a feeling of having no control. Feeling full of doubt, because loved ones act out of pity.

The Love Virus, by Eleni Cay was a unique and thought provoking read. It isn’t like any novel I’ve ever read, simply due to the style and format of writing.

A well-written book that accurately depicts the struggle that someone with a chronic illness faces. Katie is a true heroine, one who the reader roots for, all the way through.

This book has good pacing that you’ll fluidly follow the story and when it comes to the writing style, I think it suits just well, that this book goes for verse type structure which gives it more beautiful in a way. Lyrically beautiful to say.

Being disabled myself, I chose to read this because I can relate to your body failing you when your mind has other plans.

Cay brings in the two worlds together with the precision of a story teller with heart-wrenching poetry at places that just demands to be read endlessly and medical language in flawless verses.

This book had plenty of moments of despair but also plenty of Love and hope. It was a wonderful read that shows all the struggles of a chronic illness.

I blazed through the book in one setting, and it covers a lot. If you are looking for efficient writing, you should definitely try The Love Virus. No words are wasted.

A detox for the mind, an escape for the body there is no better place then to disconnect and reconnect than that of the island of Andratalia. This book is extremely relatable given our times and this pandemic we are all facing...You will be left with a new appreciation for life. Cay brings more awareness and understanding to what it means to have Multiple Sclerosis. An exquisite read.

Despite the heavy emotional journey, the lyrical prose helped me read through the chapters and seeing Katie come out a strong and incredible woman was a delight.

The writing style of the author is really impressive. Her way of presenting Katie's suicide attempt scene gave me goosebumps. She smoothly developed the characters and didn't try to drag unnecessary attention to any of the characters. A beginner level writer will learn many things from her writing style. This book enriched my vocabulary stock. So without a doubt, I am giving four out of four stars.

There was a moment in this book that referred to the 2020 pandemic. I honestly found it hilarious because I was just thinking that is was scary accurate that this statement is to the pandemic that is currently going on.
