An enjoyable easy read with a good ending, although rushed considering how much time was taken for the rest of the story.
Unfortunately even though it’s pegged as a romance there was not any obvious romance in the book. Not even a kiss 🙄
I feel the few references to “god” did not fit the story because of how infrequent it was used. There was no inclusion of church or beliefs besides the “talking to god”. It was like this was just added in so the “christian” genre label could be applied. I was unaware of this label until I posted that I was currently reading this book. I would never have chosen this book if I had known that, unfortunately.
Also the addition of Ginny’s little sister’s conversation at the beginning and then only referring to her a couple of times later was noticeable. Why have the conversation at the beginning if she was not going to be included the rest of the time?
