  I Couldn't Find Her So I Created Her by Tyler Harrison is an attempt by the author to spread love, forgiveness and ease the suffering. It's more of an autobiographical account told by the means of rhyming lines which is a unique quality. The ability to keep up the poetic touch throughout the story is very admirable. The honesty and realness with which the book is written are what touch the heart. It feels like knowing the story of a very genuine person, telling you the truth. The book is a short read, and once you read a few pages, you get into the flow. Some incidents that the author has gone through are disheartening, be it witnessing domestic violence, the state of homelessness, or getting molested in childhood. It takes real courage to pen down what one has been through and more to forgive the abuser and try to spread positivity with your story. The book has a unique writing style with lots of rawness in terms of the content. It's safe to say that this book is one of a kind.

  This book reminded me of to quote said by Gautam Buddha - "Pain is inevitable and suffering is optional." None is spared from suffering but it's our choice that makes difference. It's our attitude what to pick from offered by life. Tyler Harrison's "I Couldn't Find Her So I Created Her" is a story about the author himself and his own life expressed in a poetic way. When Tyler meets Lucy and shares how his life truly has been in childhood, how he was inspired to write. His childhood has been so pathetic traumatic, seen domestic abuses done by his father with all his siblings and mother. It's his affirmative attitude towards life that however life has been rude to him but couldn't break him down, despite he is more kind and forgiving. His perspective towards the world is kind and loving. He believes it's the love in humans that can uplift one from suffering. It's narrated in first-person perspective in smooth language so it is a quick read too. I would recommend giving it a read as it's inspiring to see hope and love and keep it kindled despite any difficulties and misery.

• Priya Saladi

  This is an autobiography of the author but with a little touch of fiction to it. This is about the author's journey by himself that he has experienced, written so beautifully. The author has presented about not giving up, self-love, and knowing your potential is so beautiful. So Tyler meets a person called Lucy then he narrates his life to her. About his family, which has an abusive father who always troubled his mother and brothers. It is slightly dark, yet it is a vital issue to talk about, and writing a book on this topic is impressive. This is a fast-paced book. Characters were developed well. Language is easy. It is definitely not for beginners because of the plot.

  The book has been narrated in a unique way. The whole book is a story and it has been beautifully portrayed in the form of poetry. The author has expressed the ups and downs of his past to Lucy. And in the same way, she shares about her past which makes them connect through each other, and eventually love blossoms between them. The book has a strong message at the end which focuses on self-help, realization, and never giving up attitude. The narration of the situations is impressive. The author has penned down a very impactful message which is another highlight of this boom. Overall the book is fast-paced and has a positive message. I personally liked the writing style of the author. Vivid emotions have been significantly penned down in these poems. The emotional effect that poems are filled with made me stick to it page by page. The book is fast-paced and I really enjoyed reading it. A must-read unique book!

  First of all, let me confess that the book wasn’t something I have expected it to be. It's actually the autobiography of the author, who wants his story to be heard and impact the lives of the readers. The author had a very tough childhood, from being the son of an abusive father to getting molested by the cousin, it was too much to handle. But still, he emerged as an optimist with lots of positivity. What makes the book unique is indeed its writing style. It is a novel narrated with poetic elements. Though it appeared impressive at the beginning, the lengthy paragraphs without any cut made it difficult to keep the focus on. Also, the whole book is divided into just two sections without any chapters, which completely contradicts my preferences. The author has narrated the book directly from his heart and discussed love, hardships, suffering, hope, and so on. And both the cover and title seemed perfectly apt. Overall, it is an emotional journey, and those who love autobiographies can give it a try.

• Ridhi Malhotra

  The book 'I Couldn't Find Her So I Created Her' by Tyler Harrison is an autobiographical read. The book starts with the author telling about his life, while he is in conversation with a film director Lucy. Though the blurb of the book says that it is a novel told in poems, it is mostly prose, though there are some poetic and rhyming elements in some of the paragraphs The characters in this book are well developed and portray an empathetic side. The writing style is simple, though the pacing of the narrative is repetitive, and also slow in parts. However, one feels for the author while reading about his life's struggles, and his story will definitely strike a chord with the readers. The book's narrative also discusses themes like harassment, abuse, trauma, and molestation. So, these are trigger warnings that readers should look out for. This is a book that should be read by readers interested in reading inspirational and motivational autobiographies portraying the message of endurance and resilience.

• Shruti

  The story is actually the autobiography of the author where he explains his real-life experiences with us. At the very beginning which is in the preface, the author mentions one line- "I am writing it because I believe my story needs to be heard so I can impact millions of people's lives for the liberation of others and that is accurate, he has successfully impacted his readers in real through his story. The story revolves around the struggles the author goes through in his life. He falls in love with a girl named Lucy but his journey is not smooth and even. A lot of adversities cover his life to sink him down in deep distress. Surprisingly, he still believes in God no matter how tough his life appears to be. After lots of turns and events, he finally finds out the meaning of his life. He never gives up living and fights every uneven situation that ever comes in front; finally, the sun of delight rises and he seeks out the enlightening part of his life to focus on it. I highly recommend this book to everyone. Must read! Happy Reading!
