Bit too much God

Simple plot but very naive. God does work in very mysterious ways but I don't like having his presence pushed at me. We all should know he is around helping us without the constant repetition present in this tale.

A good read for a rainy afternoon.

[Patricia Belue · Rating 2 out of 5]

Very simple but sweet plot. Easy and very fast read. No spoilers. Easy to figure out the ending after reading the first few pages.

[Siera · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was good. However, it was extremely predictable (like EXTREMELY) and the author didn't sound very authentic when trying to mimic Victorian-era speech. It was cute though, good for a quick read that you most likely won't remember too well.
