I was allowed to read this book before the publication date for my honest review.
I
loved this book. I generally struggle to read Christian fiction because
it comes off as very preachy in my opinion. Karen Witemeyer did an
excellent job of adding a strong Christian element without sounding like
a sermon.
Her characters are vibrant and flawed. They are not
perfect and no one is trying to "fix" the less godly of the group. I
enjoyed the relationship that each character had with Christ and and I
felt that the author's portrayal of each relationship was different and
heartfelt for each character.
I loved the interaction between
Emma and Malachi and I liked that they had a backstory which
incorporated them both. The fact that their relationship grew from their
early teens and into their adulthood seemed very realistic and made
their relationship richer and more believable.
I will definitely be purchasing a copy of this book for myself and probably buying a couple copies for a few friends/family members as birthday gifts!!
