Not my favorite by this author. It was okay. A sweet story. The main character had been abused and neglected as a child, she had gotten to a point where she had a plan to end her life, but then she discovered a book that seemed to speak directly to her, which helped save her. She fell in love with the author's books and felt he was "her author."
Fast forward several years where she's improved her live but is still dealing with issues from her past. She has the opportunity to meet the author at the book signing for his new release. I don't want to give more details of that, but there is a meeting, a getting to know each other, and seeming to fall for each other very fast. They seem to connect really quickly and get awfully cozy really quickly. Which did bother me a bit. Plus there was a lot of social drinking going on. I'm not one to say any drinking at all is sin, but I also am not a fan of so much drinking in the books I read, especially if they are classified as CF.
Through the story we learn more of the backstory of both her and the author and there are instances of abuse being talked about in detail.
There is really no mention of faith in either of their lives for most of the book. Talk about the universe at one point sort of turned me off of the book and made me hesitant. For being a Christian book I didn't really see it coming out in the story.
There was a bit of a twist that I didn't quite see coming. I thought something was going to be up with another character, but it wasn't quite what I was thinking it was going to be.
I did enjoy the book, but I wouldn't really classify it as Christian fiction. I know I've had that issue with another one of this author's books.
That said, it was an enjoyable story.
I received an e-copy of this book through NetGalley and was not required to write a favorable review. These are my own honest thoughts.
