As Long We’re Together Everything Is Going To Be All Right is a gripping drama by Harold J. Fischel. After rising to the top of the corporate ladder as the CEO of a successful advertising company, Preston Cranston has a swift fall from grace. His alcoholic tendencies land him in rehab, where he is framed for statutory rape by a conniving woman. Now jobless and alone, Cranston digs into even deeper trouble when he unwittingly stumbles upon a drug smuggling operation that has him running for his life in the jungles of the Amazon with a nefarious organization on his trail. Meanwhile, his wife, Kiki, is doing everything she can to reunite with her husband, surviving kidnapping attempts and navigating scheming board members to find her way back to Cranston. However, fate has more in store for Cranston and Kiki.
Filled with action, romance, and plenty of drama, As Long As We’re Together Everything Is Going To Be All Right is the story of two star-crossed lovers overcoming extraordinary hurdles that life throws on their path to find their way back to each other. Harold J. Fischel’s narrative is tight, as the book has little fluff. The plot is also unpredictable, and you constantly find yourself trying to guess which direction it will take, only to end up repeatedly having the rug pulled from under your feet. The cast of characters is large, but the story primarily revolves around Cranston and Kiki. Recommended for drama fans who love a bit of action and romance.
While I was reading this book, I asked myself, can someone be really so unlucky like Preston who seems to be always in dire trouble? It was hard to imagine that this novel is a fusion of facts and fiction. For how much of it was based from facts, I’ll be heartbroken to know. But the thing that hooked me to this heavy drama that is meant to devastate a reader and evoke the deepest of emotions, is that while Cranston constantly faces so many trials that he doesn’t even deserve, he always aims to get his life back. And Kiki and other characters play such a crucial part in his life that proves no one can overcome challenges alone. I like that this novel doesn’t need readers to read between the lines because of its very straightforward approach. It has a streamlined narrative that only focuses on important details, a style that can be compared to Hemingway for its directness, simplicity, and clarity. Overall, I’m giving this book 5 out of 5 stars. It imparts valuable lessons in life as it tackles health and social issues that would put readers on the edge of their
