Solid characters, good plot, and good storyline. Detailed descriptions and well-written similes.
However, for a Christian book, the characters’ drinking was a little too much for me. And a cuss word was used twice. Sad and unnecessary. The main issue I had, though, was not once did the main character discuss her relationship with God with her love interest, nor did she have any sort of conversation about God with him. And we know nothing about where he stood in his relationship with God. And the main character skipped out on church because her friends wanted to have brunch with her! So those things were off-putting.
Another frustrating part was on the part of the publisher. They missed sooooo many editing mistakes!! Very unprofessional!! I hope the author catches that they did that and asks them to fix them all!
I always like it when the title of the book comes into play in the story, and this one did not disappoint me.
I would read another book by this author!
