This book is an example of exactly why I LOVE Melody Carlson's writing! Don't let the first few pages fool you. It may start out reading like a romantic comedy but it is far from it. It quickly delves into some serious issues such as abandonment, teen pregnancy, unresolved grief, denial, OCD, and even being an atheist. All this in one book! The characters have their tough spots and don't always make the best choices. Their relationships are complicated to say the least and take hard work. This book is not wrapped up in a neat bow but rather takes a winding path through some troublesome and sometimes painful patches. The beautiful thing about this book is that though the characters are each "flawed" and flounder God is quietly but persistently speaking to them in very personal, detailed ways to get their attention. If you're a fan of Melody Carlson you will want to get this book pronto. If you've never read Melody Carlson I can guarantee after reading this book it won't be the last of her books you'll pick up.
I received this book from the publishers but was not required to write a positive review.
