Sweetly poetic, with a reality that reminds me of my own early adulthood in some ways. I truly enjoyed it
It took a little bit for this story to "get - going" and has a lot of saddness but once it got going it was so wonderful! While it has a lot of heartache and struggles I found it easy to apply to my own life and the struggle to overcome certain circumstances. It was nice to be reminded that just become certain things have happened doesn't define you. I can't wait to read the sequel and see the next place Julia continues to on her journey in life and her journey in finding God. Great read!
This definately wasn't my favorite in recently read books but it was good.
This book took me a bit longer than most books do.
It wasn't a book that sucks you in and you can't put down, but more like a friend - You're curious to see how they're doing. This book is very realistic to me, with all the little details that matter and how julia feels during these little moments.
This book still creeps into my mind every now and then.

I am only disappointed that I didn’t read this before I read [b:Summer Snow|2435941|Summer Snow|Nicole Baart|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348482215s/2435941.jpg|2443129] (its sequel). The storyline isn’t anything super-original, but Baart’s writing is just so good I don’t care. I think she could write about James K. Polk and I would still read it and be fascinated.
This story is amazing. I love it alot and everything is perfect. I loved it!!!
I found this to be a very decent book, but I wouldn't say it was especially good. I enjoyed the first half of the book, where the protagonist is dealing with the death of her father and her looming college attendance. However, the exciting older boy at college versus the hometown boy love triangle was cliched and not very interesting. This is compounded by the fact that the protagonist seems dismissive of any other girls her age, which isn't the best message. Suddenly, halfway through the book the protagonist becomes pregnant. It's a plot twist out of nowhere, and partially seems to be a plot twist for plot twist's sake. The author makes some attempts to portray a girl struggling with her faith. It seems her portrayal is too good, because the resulting deep faith in Christianity is sudden and comes out of nowhere. It's a book about the struggles with faith when you're young, written by someone who doesn't understand or remember that well. It's not a bad book, but it's not that great, either.
