So far I don't love the back & forth with the flashbacks bc it kinda ruins the continuity of the story & makes it hard to stay on the edge of your seat wondering whats going to happen next. But its good obviously to get the background & the context of who the people are. also I feel really bad for Brian and Im very curious how it will play out. I really hope the nice guy doesn't finish last just bc there's no spark.

Hmmm so roman got his confirmation from the Lord to reach out to Grace (3 ppl needed to mention her on their own in conversation w/ him). He messages her on her business site. He shows up and says he wants to marry her. they hadnt spoken in months but both still were madly in love and couldnt move on? Idk- seems a bit unrealistic?

2 things: chapter 34 was a bit repetitive. I feel like we've heard grace & roman share the same stories just with multiple diff people (specifically ab their childhoods). Secondly, this sudden shift in aunt elizabeth confuses the heck outta me. Is it just bc she now knows samuel is grace's to keep so she isnt afraid anymore to get attached?? Why the sudden change in attitude & kindness she never had before?

Also I will just say like theologically I don't know if the things in this book are super accurate. Particularly the visitation with the angel and like the concept of us having guardian angels idk if that's necessarily correct. And also when Roman died and went to hell like he was being tortured by the demons, but aren't the demons also being tortured? And one of them grabbed his leg and then he had a wound IRL? Idk

I really do love how this author makes it known that the romance/relationship/love we have with one another will always pale in comparison to the love God has for us. She never makes a relationship an idol in these books. She never makes it seem like its the end all, be all. She always points it back to Jesus and His love for us. Its a wonderful reminder

AH ok so roman is meeting with brian henley to ask for advice about grace. She moved out bc they kissed and he basically wanted to be FWB & when she dissed that idea, he asked her to move in. She moved out & quit. He told Jasper and he said when i said settle down, i meant marry her. Call her and apologize. I wonder if he'll gift her that landscape piece as part of his apology

Wow- so roman and grace just had their first kiss. Roman is saved (i think) but not really understanding how a true christian should be. He wants to sleep w/ her before marriage, and grace knows if he kissed her again, she'd be tempted to let him. The author did have brian break up with Grace- he likes shanice & he could see grace is in love with roman. We shall see what the heck happens now
