This was a quick read, but it would have been more enjoyable if I had read the books that these stories are connected to. It was nice that each story was only a few pages long and was headed with the name of the book it's related to.

This was a quick and easy read. It was nice to get these glimpses of books that I have read, enjoyed and sometimes loved. However, I don't understand why this book exists. It really is just a collection of scenes from various books by Wick. Even though it looks like they are seperated and connected by topic in the table of contents, they didn't feel connected when reading. Instead they just felt like a random selection of favorite scenes or conversations. I did apreciate the note at the end of the book about Wick's observations on herself after looking back at her works over the years, but that was the highlight of the book for me.

Since it was audio it was nice to listen to and get quick bits of of encouraging inspiration.

I guess unless you have read all the books you might get a little sentimental about it. But if not, it is ok. I didn't finish it because I got bored.

This book is filled with nice stories about tender moments between characters in various Lori Wick novels, but there is nothing extremely memorable about any of them. They basically highlight different themes found in her books. The scenes are sometimes focused on faith and prayer and other times on love and romance. This would make a nice gift for a young teen or someone who likes sweet romances. It actually looks like a devotional book even though it's not. Lori Wick fans will love this, especially if they have read all of her novels. It's easy to read since each scene is a few pages long, at most. In my opinion, that was the book's best feature.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book of memories. Having read most of Ms. Wick’s books, the pages really brought about favorite moments. It left warm feelings as I read through. Standalone

Nice short stories with scriptures after each story. Easy reading and uplifting.
