How the Light Gets in by Jolina Petersheim
5.0

Thanks to BookLook Bloggers for this one! // I didn’t expect to like this one and for some reason had in my mind that it would be cheesy Christian fiction, but I quickly fell in LOVE with it and legitimately didn’t want it to end. It’s a loose retelling of the book of Ruth which I just finished up studying with my bible study, funnily enough, and it was SO VERY GOOD. The characters, the twists, the sense of place, the hints of biblical themes... all so well crafted. Her writing is beautiful and moving and i was so completely immersed in the story from the beginning until the end. It wasn’t what i expected at all, and it totally blew me away. If you loved Redeeming Love, you’ll love this one — highly recommend.
