This book was so sweet and heartfelt!

Summary: Eighteen-year-old Finley Sinclair is still grieving the loss of her older brother Will when she decides to follow in his footsteps to study abroad in Ireland. She hopes that by reading through his travel journal, she'll reconnect with God, who she feels has left her since Will died. Finley meets new friends and walks in her brother's shoes, but the pressure begin to rise. As she begins to seek control in unhealthy ways, she wonders if God will show up at all.

I don't read a ton of faith-based fiction, but this book honestly surprised me with how well done it was. Teenage Jen would have related to a lot of Finley's struggles with seeking control, struggling with body image, and not knowing if God was there.

I thought the author did such an incredible job integrating real issues in Finley's journey including grief, perfectionism, eating disorders, and relationship stress. The romance was wholesome and Finley's relationship with old Mrs. Sweeney was really touching.

Finley's journey trying to connect with her brother and God felt so real and natural. I think anyone who has ever wondered if God is listening would enjoy seeing how Finley wrestles with these questions and eventually finds her own answers.
