Under the Cherry Tree was interesting. I would love to see the movie to see if it's better than the book. The language the author used was confusing. He went from first person to third person to second person. Because of this it was sometimes hard to follow who was speaking and what the situation was. I did enjoy the Christian aspects of the book. It was nice to compare the struggle of Kevin to Job in the bible. I felt some of the characters were unnecessary, they did not add anything to the story. The flow wasn't very good. I did like Tonya's character and how she stood up for her husband and made some difficult choices to support him. Overall a quick read that could be great with a bit of proofreading.
