First of all, this is a very LDS novel. It has a lot of Mormon references to it. Being a member, I liked it but if you aren't you may not enjoy it.
Overall, I really enjoyed it. I thought the characters were great. I liked how strong Sara was in standing up for herself. I thought the triangle was done well. I'm happy how it ended.
There were few confusing sentences that needed editing, but not enough to make me notice too much.
The story opens with Sara at the airport saying goodbye to her boyfriend who is headed off for two years on a mission trip. This, in many ways, in a predictable romance story. I had difficulty buying into the story and focusing on the story alone in the beginning, as there are parts in which words are missing in sentences (editing errors I'm thinking) and Sara acted like an immature child. I received this book free to review and almost did not even continue reading it as one point as the editing was poor in several places and the story was disjointed and scattered. After I was over halfway through, I had to know if Sara was going to be stupid and continue on with her unrealistic notion of marrying the boy she had waited two years for or end up with the man who had been there for her since the day at the airport (she meets him through a strange set of circumstances as she is leaving the airport after saying goodbye to her boyfriend). I was going to rate it a two, but upgraded it based on the author's ability to actually suck me into the story at the end.
This book intially confused me with the opening chapter. It took me a little while to figure out that the main character was in the airport and not at the church. I know she was going through a lot, but she stressed that she never cried and that seemed to be all she did in the book. Overall I enjoyed the book. It was a fun, quick read.
I loved this book. This was a typical story of an young LDS woman grappling with a life. She is worried about making the "right decisions." She has a returned missionary to reunite with. There are college challenges and more. I really enjoyed the writing style. Great fun! With emotional depth. Love her other books.!
This book had surprises. Wrought with conflict that I didn't see coming other than the fact that there was still half the book left. I enjoyed the lovin' in this book. I didn't like how the author felt like she had to make me hate the one guy to like the other one. Didn't need to happen. This book did have good parts.
It took me a while to like the main character. She was whiny and unforgiving. But she grew on me (and made some changes). The setting was different and added to the story.
A simple LDS romance, with a few interesting twists that I appreciated.
The story is cute, the characters are fun, the editing... Leaves something to be desired. For example, the main character's brother's name is Mark through the first part of the book and Marc through the second half. If you can overlook the editing issues, it is an enjoyable story.
Lds (mormon) romance novel. A lot of it was set in my hometown, so being mormon and from the setting of the book, it captured my interest. I enjoyed it, it's a nice clean Christian romance, but some non-mormons may find some of the references confusing.
