I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley- thank you!
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Patti Callahan Henry weaves the story of Joy Davidman and C.S. Lewis in a way that's both interesting and relatable. I liked the way she portrayed Joy, and I really liked learning more about how their friendship and then relationship formed.

I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. It was fantastic. I will definitely read it again.

Honestly, I tried really hard to enjoy this book as I’m a big fan of her other work (Surviving Savannah, Flora Lea) and thought this would be a clear winner, but it just wasn’t for me.

A 4.5 as it brought me a few tears. Reminded me of the movie Mirror has 2 faces.

This was a really interesting imagining of Joy Davidman and CS Lewis. I enjoyed the story and the writing style.
