I thoroughly enjoyed this story! This couple was excellent together. The relationship was realistic and sensible. The humor was well-placed and never ridiculous. The families were complicated and modern and dysfunctional, but it seems like these people became better through their dysfunction. The peril of living doesn't always have to destroy all hope for the future, and that's something that I like about this story. Yes, this is a love story, but it's a love story with many facets, and it has a good message that transcends mere romance. I highly recommend!

Couldn't put it down!
Didn't plan to stay up & finish, but once I got started, I had to know how things would work out. Enjoyed very much - & character development was clear. Didn't guess all the twists but enjoyed it. Is there another book to follow? A Chapter 2? Maybe another astronomy reference?

Alignment is a satisfying story of life and love that opens on a large orchard and farm. A former farm girl has a lot to tackle when she moves back closer to home. Then everything takes an unexpected turn because of her father and one of his trusted and longtime friends.
This was a lovely summer read. I enjoyed the descriptions of the farm, moving, and that tenuous balance between helping family and striking out on your own. Then, that moment of greeting romance when it makes its tender appearance and its transition into the rest of one’s life.
The romance is mildly unconventional in a nice way. It’s very clean and can be recommended free of concerns.
“Conservatives” will appreciate the book’s value of family, modesty, and the development of a slow, deep love, while others may be relieved that there isn’t religious content or soapboxing. Really, I think a lot people could enjoy this book very much.
