Neither bad, nor great. It was just ok for me. It’s a clean - no sex, no swearing - perfect for a Hallmark movie, kind of story. An easy, quick read of found family and realizing what you really want in life.
What I didn’t like was the predictably, which was eye-rolling at times. As well as the lack of flow, disjointed and missing details that then were sometimes addressed later. It left me wondering each time something didn’t feel right if it was going to filled in later. I don’t like to be disturbed while reading, especially by the story that I’m suppose to be reading.
Side note… I was not aware until I read the author’s acknowledgements that this is considered a christian book. If I had known that I would not have picked it to review. I prefer to read books without references to church and a bible.
Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Fiction for the opportunity to read this book.
