I didn’t realize this was a Christian romance novel. Not my vibe.

5.0

I LOVED this book. I liked the first two books in the series and thought they were cute; but this book was next level. The characters felt real and the issues they dealt with felt so real. I was very impressed with the ability to discuss difficult topics and create relationships that honored the reality of living with self doubt, stress, family expectations, and responsibility to yourself and others.

I honestly can't wait to read it again.

I really liked the book, it's overall structure and character development. However I did find the conflict and resolutions a bit unbelievable. A lot of the third act breakup and resolution felt forced and not natural. It was a solid and overall enjoyable book; though more time spent on keeping characters consistent in motivations is important.
