A+; Emotions ranging from heartbreaking to triumphant in this lovely novel. If you've ever doubted the power of one moment, you won't after reading this. Ms. Kingsbury is without question the best in Christian fiction, delivering a powerful message that does not come across as preachy or ignore the realities in life. No goody-two-shoes characters cripple her prose. Real people struggle with their faith issues and come out closer to God and each other because of it.

“Even Now” by Karen Kingsbury
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Once again I listened to the audiobook of “Even Now” spoken by an excellent narrator. A wonderful love story starting from teenagers to adulthood. All the trials, tribulations and the growing bonding of a committed relationship.
I am now listening to the audiobook “Ever After” by Karen Kingsbury the second book following “Ever After”.

I've been putting off writing my review on this book because I'm not sure what to say. Generally, I don't especially like Christian fiction. This book is an example of why I don't like it. The story felt contrived and forced, like the author tried to imagine everything that could possibly go wrong and made it happen. I just kept feeling frustrated that the characters weren't using common sense to prevent these horrible things from happening. But worse was that I felt like the author was trying to make a political statement that I was neither going to appreciate nor agree with. In the end though, she surprised me and came to a conclusion that was better than I had given her credit for. So I ended up giving it 3 stars because the author showed a broader sense of tolerance than I thought she would. If you like Christian fiction, you will probably like this book because it's pretty much the epitome of Christian fiction. If you're not a Christian fiction fan, I would steer clear of this one...

Let me start by saying that had I known this was Christian fiction I may not have picked it up to begin with. I sometimes find the religious writing a little too over-the-top for my liking. I had a couple of issues with this story line:
1.The parents of these two teenagers conspire against them by taking deliberate steps to separate them from each other. One family moves across the country and the other into the suburbs and neither leaves a forwarding address. My issue ... the author implies that had they had God in their lives they would have behaved differently and not been so manipulative and controlling in their children’s' lives. Say what? Being lacking in a strong Christian faith is not synonymous with lacking compassion and empathy!
2.It takes two decades to reunite this couple who have remained deeply in love. Their daughter has grown up without her parents. The events set in motion twenty years ago have caused irreparable damage. My issue … the author wants us to believe that after all that has transpired these seven characters will reunite and fall into each other’s arms full of forgiveness because they now have God in their lives. Really? You would think that there might be at least one of them that is holding onto a bit of anger and perhaps would like to lash out and express their grief about the years that have virtually been stolen from them? Apparently not.
The story had potential to be very good but it just was not realistic to me. The reunion was too easy; the author wrapped it up in a nice little package and stuck a bow on it. Don’t get me wrong, I like happy endings and I am not saying that this couldn’t end happily. I am just saying I don’t think that the forgiveness could have come so easily without a little conflict and venting of anger first.

I read this because Kingsbury's books encourage my wife. The theme of God's control of our lives and situations is one I am fully behind, but this now ranks as my least favorite book. Mainly due to disappointment.
When I read self-published work, mistakes are common and expected. However, this is a well-known author with a respected publisher, yet the mistakes in storyline and editing seem to indicate both are interested far more in the profit to be had and than in a quality story and book.
A few examples:
1. I am not an editor and read fast, yet, was distracted by dozens of simple editing mistakes. They are embarrassing to list and would result in a "F" at a high school or college.
2. The storyline is not realistic. The reaction to the loss of a baby, the story of how they remain apart and unable to contact one another, and the actions of the parents to keep them apart begin the list of plot and storyline that simply could not happen.
3. The storyline has conflicting facts. Ages and dates have conflicts. The timing of high school, college and military training makes it impossible for Shane to have served in the Gulf War. At most points in the story Shane is said to be a baseball player, except when it is football. This list could go on, but I'm only growing more disappointed in the lack of professionalism.
I appreciate the Christian teaching about prayer, trusting God, and God's control over events. However, I've never wanted a refund on a book before, but feel disappointed enough in this one to consider asking.

It wasn't outstandingly beautiful prose, or a praise-worthy plot line, but this book made me cry. And for that, I give it 5 stars. There have been around, maybe 6, 7, books in my life that have had me sobbing (it's not easy to get my tears going in books) and this one had me wailing into the book in the middle of the night. Even Now had me smiling and laughing and making some sort of sound in my throat that sounded like sobbing and choking all at once... When Lauren and Shane were finally reunited, I felt like throwing myself to the ground in relief, tears streaming down my cheeks. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a touching book. Once in a while, perhaps because my tears come hard when I read, I appreciate reading a book so beautifully written that it sends my emotions on a rollercoaster. This book is definitely one of those books. If you don't mind shedding a tear or clutching fearfully at your chest for the sake of the characters, this book is definitely for you.

What can I say that I haven't already said while I was reading... Horrible editing, spelling mistakes nearly every page wherein a space was moved/added/removed, making the intended words into completely different words... but still real words, albeit ones that didn't make sense in the sentence. Continuity errors. Contrived plot points, characters lacking common sense. I was interested in the basic plot, but it could have been done SO much better. Though she's quite prolific and popular, I haven't read much by this author. This one doesn't give me a good feeling about seeking out any of her other works.

This was a Christian book that takled some tough stuff like teenage pregnancy. I thought the story was sweet & original. Loved the ending
September 21, 2018
Spoiler Alert!!!!!! The book even now is about a girl (Lauren) and a boy (Shane) their parents separate them after they find out Lauren is pregnant. Lauren thought Emily died 4 weeks after being born all because of a miscommunication with the hospital after she leaves Emily there overnight. Lauren runs away and her parents take care of the baby 18 years later both of Emily's parents find out that Emily is actually alive. Her dad meets her for the first time, and her mom is reunited with Emily. It is an amazing Christian book, and an emotional roller coaster.
The main characters are Lauren, Shane, Emily, and Angela. The protagonist is Emily, she finds her parents and reunite them after 18 years apart, she shows her mother, Lauren, that God is amazing and miracles do happen everyday, and helps Lauren find her connection to God again. The antagonist is Shane’s mother she, tells Lauren to get an abortion when she was pregnant just so her son. Emily’s father will be able to have the job and life they want for Shane. Even though Shane wants to marry Lauren and help her raise the baby. I can't relate to the story, other than the fact that her family has such strong faith and believes in her, like my parents believe in me. I relate to Emily more than the other characters because she is smart, athletic, and has such strong faith. Also, that she trusts that God will show her the right path. I loved the book, it is so inspiring and encourages you that anything can happen. My favorite part of the book was when Lauren finally got to see Emily after 18 years. My least favorite part was when Emily’s grandpa dies of cancer, it makes me sad that someone who raised Emily dies. The author really brought your whole attention into the book and showed to never give up hope and your plan can be different from God's plan, but it always works out in the end. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend. If you love romance, christian, and suspenseful books you will love this one.

It is a good thing that this is not the first Kingsbury book that I have read, because if it had been, I would not have read another and that would have been a loss. The constant emotional pain that the characters in "Even Now" endure (most of it brought on by themselves) for a solid eighteen years and 333 pages left me wrung out and exhausted. Even when the happy ending came, I couldn't feel the joy.
The experiences shared by the seven main characters were told and retold endlessly through each of their different perpectives. I felt like I was being beaten to death with the plot and could have rehearsed it in my sleep. Too much drama, too much anguish, too much unrelenting, heart-wrenching pain and regret for all of us.
The beautiful thing about time is that it heals and softens our losses and sorrows, even if not able to completely erase them. It was unrealistic that the pain of these characters (especially Lauren's) never dulled. The story felt contrived and forced. Too many bad things happened for it to be believable.
That being said, Karen Kingsbury has written some beautiful novels. I have been touched, uplifted and motivated by her books. Just not this one. It is wonderful to read the words of someone who includes the reality of God in her works, and is not afraid to let sacred things remain sacred i.e., she doesn't fill her books with sensuality and lust.

Let me be the first to say I LOVE a good cheesy romancey indulgence from time to time. Not always but just on occasion, however this novel was just TOO MUCH CHEESE.
The bones of this story were good, real tear jerker worthy. But I did not find the actually writing and telling of the story to be all that good. If my husband thinks I roll my eyes at him too much he should have seen me whilst reading this! Too cheesy. And dumb. Especially that wonderful moment where Emily realized she had been spelling her dad's name incorrectly. Come on!
And the forshadowing was horrendous! I don't know if it was intended to be discreet... but you knew every single that was going to happen pages and pages before it did. Also thought the religious stuff was too pushy. Meh. I keep branching out to new authors and books and I keep getting disappointed. Where I'd my Chamberlain, Moyes, or Koontz when I need them??

I fell in love with this story. The characters were amazing. Lauren and Shane's love for each other was flawless, even as kids. They grew up without each other. And their child little Emily. Found them and tried to get them back together. I love it. Emily was adorable. Her character was awesome. Karen Kingsbury made a great contrast of characters.
Although it was in ways similar to one other book I read called The Chance. But I overly enjoyed both books.
This book was Heartbreaking, sad, heartwarming, happy, loveable. I laughed and cried. Just a complete mix of emotions.
I cant wait to read the sequel to this book.

Not a huge fan of Christian fiction with a few exceptions. This was one of the most contrived story lines I've ever read. None of the actions made sense - all of the consequences were extreme. The outcome was just too neatly worked out. If you're looking for an easy read where you can just skim pages while people are whining or making dumb mistakes, this is it.

4.5 stars*
Karen Kingsbury certainly has a way of creating characters that you just can't help caring about. I was hooked on every part of this story. It's a beautiful story of redemption, forgiveness, and God's ability to make whole what was broken. I'm starting the second book in the series today and I can't wait to see where it takes this family.

This book was one of the most special, inspirational, moving books that I have ever read. it truly has changed me and changed my perspective. the characters in this book are so special, I feel like I have lived their lives, even as time spans 18 years throughout the book.
but be prepared - the way I cried and sobbed my eyes out, they were sad tears, heartbroken tears, happy tears and relieved tears. My family had to seriously check if I was alright I was so moved!
the characters are also closer to my age at the beginning meaning I felt it deeper.
as a Christian, I felt the Lord deeply throughout those this novel, I felt the Lord was speaking to me through it and it honestly gave me no advice, but an essence about how I might handle these situations if I was in their shoes.
trigger warning - teen pregnancy, death, war etc.

I didn’t realize the theme of this story was unwed teen pregnancy. That is not my favorite theme, but I do appreciate that the author kept the intimacies off-page. This wasn’t an easy book at all.
It seemed to me like everyone in this story committed sin upon sin upon sin in the first half. Yet, when certain characters finally turned back to God and sought forgiveness for those sins, the story became richer and more enjoyable. True repentance is absolutely amazing, and I love when that is highlighted in books.
Lauren’s parents were horrible and toxic in the first half of the story. They were very well written and drove me batty for their mindsets against their daughter. I liked that they mellowed and learned to be better people while they raised their grandchild.
This book showcased the contrast between the depravity of sinful behavior and the hope and peace found only in following God’s will for one’s life. The faith journeys in this book were beautiful.
My one complaint about the narrator was that grown-up Emily sounded like a young child. I kept having to remind myself she was college aged. The narrator did a fantastic job at including the proper emotions during the most heartbreaking scenes, which added richness to the audio version.
The second half of this story was superb and brought all the emotion and depth I have come to expect from a Karen Kingsbury novel. I really enjoyed the reunions that took place. They kind of made my heart melt.

I really wish there were .5 star options cause this is 4.5 stars. I really shouldn't get so engrossed in the characters but Lauren made me want to stop reading the book. While we know people in our lives like her, she made it a pain to read this one. Emily was the best character and how she never lost faith and allowed God to do things His way and in His timing. Lesson to us all.

I really do enjoy reading Karen Kingsbury's novels. They are heart warming and uplifting. They are absolutely primarily intended to illustrate the hope and love of God, however, some inaccurate details really irked me and made this story feel unrealistic. When Lauren is in Afghanistan and she sees Emily's email, she responds with her to call a phone number. Emily calls like 5 minutes later from the Central Time zone. It was a small detail that made the event feel forced.
The second thing that irked me was the lack of understanding about Shane's profession. I am in the Navy and I understand Karen is not, but I would have appreciated some basic research on the ranking structure. She describes Shane as a Captain in the Navy but that means he would have been an O-6. A Captain in every other service is an O-3. Based on the timeline of the novel and that Shane is 37, he would have only had about 15 years in the Navy. He would have likely been an O-4 (Lieutenant Commander) or maybe an O-5 (Commander). This would have been easily fixed with taking the time to do some basic googling.
My average rating for Kingsbury's books is about 4.0 so I rated this one as 3.0.
