I have a few friends who have suffered from divorces, and one who tried and tried and tried to work it out but had a husband unwilling. Perhaps this book would help her a bit. I had it on my to-read list for about a year and it was about Cameron's issues with a recent divorce. We see how he met his wife and how things went down and seemed to not get worked out no matter how much he would want to try to. It was very sad but good. It was a quick read as well.

Conant has a email address on the back of this book. I emailed him to tell him how much I enjoyed his book and writing style. He directed me to his blog, and I've been a reader of it ever since. He has a second book coming out in a couple of weeks. Publisher's Weekly didn't think too highly of the second book, but I'll be the judge of that!

look at a friend's experience dealing with young love, marriage and divorce. a spiritual look at his journey and take on theological issues. i felt so badly for him. it is a good look at how a young couple courted, engaged, married and divorced. strangly, came at the appropriate time in my life and was helpful to me.

This is a great journey through one of the most difficult times in a person's life. I commend Cameron on having the courage to put his story into a novel, but am very glad he did. I read this after my divorce and found it to be very encouraging in the fact that I realized that what I was going through emotionally and spiritually was normal and I wasn't the only one with those feelings.

I picked this up via paperbackswap.com because the author dated my best friend from high school. I didn't like his writing style very much, but kept reading just the same. The latter quarter of the book felt preachy and artificial. I didn't disagree with what he was saying, but it just felt so... I don't know, contrived.

With many of my friends going through divorces, I thought this book would be interesting to read and gain some perspective on the issue of divorce. It was a very raw, very real book about a guy a year after his divorce.

Honest first-person account of his own divorce and how it interacts with his view of self and theology.

[Aaron · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very, very sad and painful, like divorce. But ultimately hopeful in some regard.
