Thank you so much to Netgalley and Thomas Nelson Publishing for giving me an early copy in exchange for a fair review!! 

DNFed at 11%

I would like to start this review off with the fact that there was no mention of religion being in this book and I had to find out through other reviewers. I probably would have passed on this book if I had known this information ahead of time.

Minor spoiler, just for a scene nothing related to the plot.
Now the reason I dnfed? The main character described herself as “cello shaped”. There is an entire scene where the fmc and a side character pretty much shame her for being slightly bigger. It was just so hard to read and so gross that it turned me completely off of the book.


This book is definitely made for a group of readers but unfortunately I am not one of them.

Thank you Netgalley, and Tyndale House Publishers for the advance copy of the book. DNFed at 20%. This should be everything I liked but I barley made it through the 20% I did read. I could not get pass how much I did not like the main characters or their relationship. I don't want them to get back together!
He doesn't even know that she can't have pain meds after 5 YEARS of marriage??
The book also has a second plot of the fmc's nephew (?) having a relationship? I'm very confused on why this was included. I just ended up getting lost with both plots and what events are for what plot point.

Was taking too long to get the point and I wasn’t getting invested into the story

Got to 27%……. I really wanted to like this book. The over use of the word ‘demure’ was crazy. Even if the TikTok trend didn’t happen it still would have turned me off of the book. Especially when the fmc is supposed to be this very strong woman. I feel like the fact that the fmc needed to keep up her “image” was being referenced like every other page? It was getting a bit annoying. I was going to try to push through the book more but it just felt unfair to the author and the book itself. Hopefully I can find someone who will truly enjoy this to give the book to.

Moon Road

Thank you to Penguin Random House Canada, and Sarah Leipciger for the ARC of this book to read.

Moon Road is a wonderful book about a divorced couple who have to go on a multi day road trip to help get answers to a family mystery. 

I ended up DNFing at 61%… This book had wonderful detail about the scenery, and the characters were very well described. I thought the characters of Yannick and Kathleen were wonderful represented, and were very flawed which was very nice to see. Unfortunately this book was just too slow of pacing for me, it was getting to the point where the very intriguing plot just wasn’t cutting it. I plan to take a break from the book just to see if that’s what I need right now. I will update when I’ve finished the book.
